Claim:
A light effect system comprising: at least one light source, which light source generates a beam of light along an optical axis through a lens system, at least one light effect element, and at least one plate-shaped aperture element that is positioned perpendicular to said optical axis and has at least one aperture through which said beam of light may pass, each aperture being defined by at least two fingers which partially surround and support a respective light effect element in at least 180° of the circumference, wherein said fingers are formed of a flexible material and wherein said fingers engage with the contour of an outer surface of the light effect element and hold the light effect element in position in the aperture by themselves so that the light effect element is able to be mounted and detached from within the aperture simply by being pushed in and pulled out, respectively, from between the fingers of a spring element in a direction that is perpendicular to said optical axis.
