Clay Paky Astroraggi Hire Melbourne

Legendary Clay Paky Astroraggi Lighting Effect Rental for Retro Parties & Events

Hire $160 Day

Experience one of the most famous nightclub lighting effects ever created with the Clay Paky Astroraggi, available for hire from AVFX in Melbourne. Introduced by Italian lighting manufacturer Clay Paky in 1983, the Astroraggi quickly became a nightclub classic and helped cement Clay Paky's reputation as one of the world's most innovative entertainment lighting companies. The Astroraggi followed the hugely successful Astrodisco and became a staple feature in discos, nightclubs, roller skating rinks, and entertainment venues throughout the 1980s.

The Astroraggi features a distinctive UFO-style dome covered with precision optical lenses. Inside the fixture, a powerful halogen lamp shines through a rapidly rotating dome containing strategically placed openings. As the dome spins, intense beams of light burst through the lenses in constantly changing patterns, creating hundreds of brilliant rays that appear to shoot randomly throughout the venue.

Unlike traditional mirror balls or moonflower effects, the Astroraggi creates a spectacular starburst effect made up of sharp, pencil-thin beams that seem to appear from every direction simultaneously. The result is a breathtaking aerial display that instantly transforms any venue into a classic nightclub.

The original Astroraggi uses a high-speed rotating dome positioned over the lamp. The dome contains multiple apertures which allow light to pass through selected lenses as it spins. This creates the effect of bright white beams appearing randomly across the entire sphere, producing one of the most distinctive visual effects ever seen in a nightclub.

A Nightclub Lighting Legend

The Astroraggi became one of Clay Paky's defining products during the golden era of disco. Clay Paky themselves describe the Astroraggi as a product that soon became a "classic" in nightclubs after its release.
