Flame Flicker Effect on Patt.123 (1967)
For Patt.123 or later Prelude or Quartet.
Fits on the front of a fresnel or PC, and provides a random-looking distortion of the beam, which can appear like the flicker from a roaring fire in a fireplace. It consists of a rotating metal disk with random blobs cut out of it, and a piece of mottled/patterned glass, which adds random looking distortions to the light.
The unit works best placed inside a fireplace, lighting a chair or other piece of set, in such a way that the audience can't see the unit. Needs the rest of the lighting state to be dim. A fire flickering in the fireplace of a room at night is the ideal scenario.
A custom colour frame can be added into the slot at the front, and screwed into place.
