Vintage Coemar Comet 16 Barrel Light Rental for Retro Parties, DJs & Events

Hire $280 Day

Create a spectacular retro nightclub atmosphere with the Coemar Comet 16, available for hire from AVFX in Melbourne. Manufactured by the legendary Italian lighting company Coemar, the Comet 16 is a rare vintage barrel-style lighting effect that became a popular feature in discos, roller skating rinks, dance halls, and entertainment venues throughout the late 1970s and 1980s.

The Comet 16 features sixteen PAR 36 beam lamps mounted around a rotating barrel assembly. As the barrel slowly rotates, the coloured beams sweep around the room, creating a dramatic canopy of moving light that fills dance floors, walls, ceilings, and guests with colour and movement.

Unlike modern LED effects, the Comet 16 uses genuine incandescent PAR lamps which produce the warm, rich colours and authentic appearance that defined the golden era of disco lighting.

The Comet series was available in two versions — the smaller Comet 16 and the much larger Comet 36. Both models became iconic disco fixtures due to their ability to create huge room-filling beam effects using multiple PAR lamps and mechanical movement.

A True Disco Era Classic

The Coemar Comet 16 was designed to create maximum impact through mechanical movement and multiple beam sources. As the barrel rotates, the sixteen lamps produce a constantly moving pattern of coloured beams that sweep throughout the venue, creating the energetic atmosphere that made disco lighting famous.

Its combination of multiple PAR 36 lamps, warm incandescent colours, and rotating motion creates a visual effect that is larger and more dramatic than traditional helicopter lights, making the Comet 16 a genuine centrepiece effect for retro-themed events.
