The Flicker Wheel (P/N 62400222) provides a different kind of effect and can be
used at high speed for motion effects, such as passing trains. It can also be
effectively used for just breaking up the beam of a fixture and for an organic strobe
effect.

The Coarse Radial Breakup disc (P/N 62400224) is particularly effective for
animating light from a non-focused source whilst providing a minimal loss in
intensity due to the high 'white to black' ratio of the radial pattern. It is also
effective for similar uses to the Radial Breakup disc.
C o a r s e t a n g e n t i a l b r e a k u p
The Coarse Tangential Breakup disc (P/N 62400226) can be used on its own in an
unfocused form to give the image of flames. It can also be combined with gobos to
give a drifting image to the projection.
