Vintage Optikinetics Solar 250 Effects Projector Rental for Gobo, Oil, Water & Visual Effects
Create stunning visual effects with the legendary Optikinetics Solar 250 Projector, available for hire from AVFX in Melbourne. Widely regarded as one of the most versatile effects projectors ever produced, the Solar 250 became an industry standard for theatres, discos, concerts, exhibitions, planetariums, themed events and visual productions throughout the 1970s, 1980s and beyond.
Manufactured by Optikinetics in the United Kingdom, the Solar 250 was designed as a professional effects projector capable of projecting an enormous range of visual effects using interchangeable accessories, effect wheels, gobos, liquid oil wheels, animation cassettes, prisms, rotating effects and image discs. Optikinetics is recognised as the inventor of the famous liquid "lava" style projection wheel and the Solar range of projectors that became iconic throughout the entertainment industry.
Unlike conventional lighting fixtures, the Solar 250 projects large-scale moving images, textures and effects onto walls, ceilings, drapes, stages, screens and scenery. From flowing lava patterns and moving water effects through to corporate logos, stars, clouds, flames and abstract animations, the Solar 250 can transform almost any surface into a dynamic visual display.

The Industry Standard Effects Projector
For decades, the Solar 250 has been one of the most recognised effects projectors in entertainment lighting. Its modular design allows operators to quickly change effects and create virtually unlimited visual displays. The projector became particularly famous for its compatibility with Optikinetics liquid effect wheels, which produce the flowing psychedelic projections often associated with classic concerts, discos and immersive visual installations. Optikinetics states that the Solar projector range became one of the company's most iconic products and remains highly regarded today.
Endless Creative Possibilities
The Solar 250 is much more than a projector—it is a complete visual effects system. By changing wheels, gobos and accessories, the same projector can create dramatically different effects, from realistic water reflections and fire simulations through to abstract moving artwork and corporate branding projections.
This versatility has made the Solar 250 a favourite among lighting designers, visual artists, theatre technicians and event professionals for more than five decades.
A Vintage Projection Legend
Originally developed during the explosion of creativity in the 1970s, the Solar range became a staple of entertainment venues worldwide. Optikinetics worked alongside artists, theatres and event professionals to develop projection technologies that remain influential today.
