Museum of Vintage Light Effects

Due to recent multiple (successful) hacking attempts I was forced to remove and reupload / rebuild the site. Some pictures etc could be missing but I’m hoping to get everything fixed today.

Update: cleaned database of spam comments. Re-uploaded picture archive. Theme should be fixed later today. Comments will be disabled for now until I find a permanent solution to the spam shit. In the mean time you can reach me via email at vintagelightfx REPLACETHISWITHANATSIGN lynxxx.nl

Do you have cool vintage light effects that we can feature on this site? Or do you have documentation you’d like to share with other visitors? Please send your pictures, (youtube) videos, pdfs etcetera to vintagetlightfx AT (replace with @ sign) lynxxx.nl . Any type of material is welcome as long as its related to vintage light effects. Help us keep this site alive and kicking!

Want to send stuff like old paper catalogs or technical documentation? (or a Coemar Venus hahaha ) Please contact me on the email mentioned above and I’ll provide a PO Box for snailmail. If it’s an interesting addition to the archives, I’ll gladly scan it and upload it to the site so others can benefit from your contributions

Do you own a collection of vintage light effects? I’m looking for co-editors that can provide video and documentation and can help expand the site.

Update 2011: updates to this site are taking a little longer than planned. Will be adding a lot of new content soon

Hahahah this is pretty cool. This guy took a vintage 1950′s Sputnik light fixture and added a chaser effect to it I have a similar lamp (but in my case a complete sphere ) from the sixties in my living room. I’ll consider this mod Technicly this is not a vintage club light, but it gets some points for the sputnik part.

This is an old video by De La Soul called Ring Ring Ring that features a spinning UFO at around 2:24. This video is probably what triggered my love for vintage light fx so I thought I’d mention it here This track is available on Amazon here. If you know any other cool music videos featuring vintage light effects please post them in the comments.
