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 :-P ) 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.

1950’s Sputik converted to disco light

August 19th, 2009

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.

Coemar Magic Titan pics

This effect is so big it’s insane :) Check out this post for a cool video of this monster in motion and this one for a video of a bizarre combination of this motion platform base with a Coemar venus disc. The result = AWESOME :)

Ring Ring the ufo

June 22nd, 2009

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.
