Awesome units from Kreluz! These are the Triton 2 UFO units. Each unit has a central saucer containing 20 Philips 4416 12 volt, 30 watt sealed beam par 36 bulbs. The bulbs are wired into 2 separate circuits. Circuit 1 is the 10 bulbs on the perimeter and circuit 2 is the bulbs on the top and bottom of the saucer (5 on top and 5 on bottom). All of the bulbs are wired in series (12 volt to make the 110 / 120 volts needed per circuit) and each lamp has an LED fault indicator. With 20 lamps this makes tracking down a faulty bulb super easy. If a lamp goes out the LED illuminates showing the problematic lamp. Otherwise you would have to pull each bulb and test until the faulty one is discovered. The saucer rotates in 2 separate directions (spin and tumble). The side tumble motor is a high quality 20 RPM Crouzet 120 volt geared motor and the spin is variable speed from another high quality Crouzet 24 volt, 60 RPM D/C motor. When these units get going they are crazy fast! All circuits (4 total) are controlled from a dedicated controller. The controller has 2 separate switches for the lamps, 1 switch for the side A/C motor and a knob to adjust the 24 volt DC motor. Great feature it that the fuses are located on the front of the controller so if there is a fuse issue then the blown fuse can be pulled easily. Awesome units made in Spain!
