Legendary Clay Paky Astrodisco 2 UFO Lighting Effect Rental for Retro Parties & Events

Experience one of the most iconic nightclub lighting effects ever created with the Clay Paky Astrodisco 2, available for hire from AVFX in Melbourne. Manufactured by the legendary Italian company Clay Paky, the Astrodisco series helped revolutionise disco lighting during the early 1980s and became a centrepiece fixture in nightclubs, roller skating rinks, discos, and entertainment venues around the world.

The original Astrodisco was introduced in 1982 and quickly became famous for using a single lamp to project dozens of moving rays of light throughout a venue. The Astrodisco 2 expanded upon this concept with a sophisticated dual-axis movement system, creating a spectacular UFO-style effect capable of producing complex aerial light displays.

The Astrodisco 2 features a rotating saucer-shaped optical assembly illuminated by a powerful halogen lamp. As the fixture operates, the UFO head spins while simultaneously tumbling from side to side, creating constantly changing beam movements that sweep throughout the room. The result is a mesmerising three-dimensional display of moving light that appears to float above the dance floor like a flying saucer.

Technical Specifications

Available information from surviving original Astrodisco 2 units includes:

The Astrodisco 2 uses two separate motors. One motor rotates the saucer while a second motor creates the side-to-side tumbling action. Each circuit can be controlled independently, allowing operators to vary the visual effect. The fixture uses a standard 24V 150W FCS halogen lamp mounted within the base assembly.

The Evolution of the Astrodisco

The Astrodisco 2 sits between the original Astrodisco and the more advanced Astrodisco 3. While the original unit created multiple rays from a rotating saucer, the Astrodisco 2 added the additional tumbling movement that gave the fixture its famous UFO-like appearance. The later Astrodisco 3 would introduce a third movement axis for even more complex motion.

This combination of spinning and tumbling motion made the Astrodisco 2 one of the most recognisable lighting effects of the disco era and a favourite among nightclub owners looking for a dramatic centrepiece effect.
