Great unit from Kremesa! The fixture features a whopping 20 - 6 volt, 30 watt Par 36 4515 sealed beam lamps projecting an amazing powerful 600 watts of light power The ball contains 20 lamps and a 20 RPM side Kelvin motor. In addition there is another Kelvin top motor. Effect is a rotating and spinning ball with a ton of beams projecting from it. Unit made in Spain.

Pictures from when the ball was cleaned and holes were drilled for the neon indicators. This unit was modified from the original. In the original setup the unit had the neon bulbs built into the bulb cups and did not use the 4515 - 6 volt, 30 watt bulbs that this one does. The original used 6 volt, 35 watt Osram Halostar lamps in a special housing. The special Kremesa heads were not with the unit when purchased, so a little modification was needed.

Hey, I have one of these lights myself. When i bought the light, it had no base. I took another light and used that base for it. My problem is i dont have a way to run the lights on it because the voltage is to high. No one can seem to help me to find out what i need. Do you have another base? Or do you know what i would need to convert the power for the bulbs down for 30w 6volt bulbs?
ReplyDeleteThanks, anything would be a great help!

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI do not have another base unit, but if you have a base and it rotates fine it should work. Just a quick question are you using 120 volts or 220 volts on this units?
where would i get a bottom motor and brushes for one of these
ReplyDeleteThe motor is from Kelvin in Spain http://www.kelvin.es/index.php as for the brushes I'm not sure. Hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteThe unit works on 120 or 220V?
ReplyDeletewhich the function of neon lights? the unit can work without them?
ReplyDeleteThe function of the Neon lights is to show when a lamp burns out. It makes it easier than removing all bulbs and checking each one since the bulbs are wired in series. This unit is 110 volt, but 220 volt versions were produced as well.
ReplyDeleteand yes the unit can run without them.
ReplyDeleteMy unit has 20 lamps (6V 30W par36). connected in series between them. I live in Portugal, the current is 220V. I'll have to get a transformer 220 to 110V right?? I can get. And how are they linked neon bulbs??
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to get my unit so I need help to get this to work. thanks for all the support.
The easiest way without using a transformer is change out the bulbs from 6 volt to 12 volt lamps. Are your motors 110 or 220 volt? Make sure you check those as well. As for the neon indicators, each connection of each indicator goes across each lamp terminal. Lamps are in series on the unit and the indicators are parallel on each lamp.
ReplyDeleteThe motor is 220V, 110V also works, but the bulbs are 6V 30W PAR36, 20 lamps are in series.
ReplyDeleteWhat voltage of neon bulbs should I buy?
12V/30W PAR36 lamps in Portugal is difficult to arrange.
Most of the neon indicators are sold as 250 volt. They will work with 110 or 220 volt power. The will need to be at least 110 volt in orser to work. Also make sure you solder a 100K resistor on each of the leads of the neon indicator for it to work properly.
ReplyDeleteSorry...only one of the leads on each neon indicator need to have the 100k resistor attached.
ReplyDeleteOk thanks for the help I'll try to work this out.
