Programmi Sistemi Luce Logoscan



Really cool compact light! This is a Programmi Sistemi Luce Logoscan unit. Unit uses a 12 volt, 100 watt EFP bulb that projects through a large gobo wheel with 20 different gobos on it (Some colored with dichoric glass). The gobo wheel changes at a slow intermittent pace (about every 15 seconds). The light then bounces off of a constantly rotating mirror dish through a large convex lens and onto the exterior mirror. The mirror rotates to the beat of the music via an internal microphone. The output is a great! Fixture has 3 motors. 1 for the rotating mirror dish, 1 for the mirror motor & 1 for the gobo wheel. Unit made in Italy.

Coemar Comet 36



This thing is HUGE!! Very rare Coemar 36 rolling box light. Unit has 36 Par 36, 6 volt 30 watt lamps set on a large fiberglass shell. The fiberglass is metallic silver speckles in it which is an added cool look. Fixture also has 36 neon lamp indicators which illuminate when a bulb goes out. This unit come out of a roller skating rink and was super dirty and caked with 25+ years of smoke stains and grime. It took a while to tear it down and clean, but the end effect is great!! Unit was gelled with various colors, but were removed and discarded when the unit was cleaned. They were burnt and flaking apart. Unit is 220 volt and has 3 separate circuits for operation. 1 for the lamps and 1 for each rotation motor (unit has 2). Coemar made 2 versions of this unit (1 is a smaller 16 lamp unit and this is the larger 36 lamp version). Unit made in Italy. This unit is currently for sale!!

Clay Paky Astroraggi Classic Discharge Lamp Version



One of the original and classic effects found in many clubs. This effect was copied by many, but this is the original. This is a Clay Paky Astroraggi. Clay Paky made a few different versions of this unit such as the dual and power. This unit is the classic discharge version that uses a 250 watt MSD discharge arc lamp in the center. The standard version used a 24 volt, 150 watt halogen FCS bulb ans the discharge bulb version was an upgraded option.  The unit then has a rotating dome over the lamp that rotates at a high speed. The effect is flashing bright beams of light coming out of random lenses on the unit. Unit has 2 separate circuits. 1 for the lamp and 1 for the rotation motor. Unit made in Italy.

Show Pro LSR-1 Laser Image Laser System



One of the early laser systems that was actually user friendly. This is a Show Pro LSR-1 Laser Image laser ystem including the controller, control cables & 2 heads. The output varies from a stars, circles, triangles and other shapes to the standard red dot. I think Red Line Lasers from St. Louis, Missouri made this unit for Show Pro. Unit uses Melles Griot laser tubes, not the diodes used in to days lasers. Output is a solid red beam of light rated at 4.95 mW, but actually is around 6.5 mW. Beam can be manipulated from the controller which sends signals to the heads for rotation and speed. The signal goes to 2 separate motors in each head which have mirrors on them. These are what produce the patterns of the light when it exits out of the unit. System also has a 1/4" connector on the rear of the controller for connection to an audio source. This will make the laser dance to the beat of the music. There is a small speaker inside each head with a mirror on it which will move when audio is applied and makes the effect. System made in the U.S.










American DJ Cyclotron II



Rare unit from American DJ. This is a Cyclotron II. Similar to the Cyclotron I, but a bit larger and updated design. Unit rotates and spins 360 degrees while using a 750 watt linear strobe lamp. The output is bright flashes and shafts of multi-colored light in multiple directions. Super cool light. Unit has an adjustment knob on it for the speed of the flash and also can be triggered from a 0 - 10 volt analogue signal via a 1/4" plug on the unit. Multiple units can be synchronized when connected together. Unit has 2 motors. 1 for the rotation of the head and 1 for the tumbling motion of the light drum. Unit made in Taiwan.
