Installation
Installing the Lamp
The Mirrorball Set uses the 6V/30W Par 36 (ordercode 80801 / 82160) bulb, as manufactured by all popular
manufacturers. Use only the appropriate lamp for your unit.
Note that, product versions that use other lamps, may be offered in the future. Check your product
specification label for information.
Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before changing lamps.
The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged or deformed due to the heat.
Do not install lamps with a higher wattage! Lamps with a higher wattage generate temperatures the
device was not designed for.
Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.
Warning: Allow 15 minutes to cool down, before replacing lamp.

Installing the Lamp
Procedure :
1. Remove the fixation ring by pressing it together.
2. Gently turn the pinspot with the lamp side down, so the lamp falls out.
3. Use a flat-head screwdriver to loosen the 2 screws that secure the wire to the bulb’s socket. Remove the
old bulb and take the new lamp. Read lamp instructions. Do not touch the lamp bulb glass. Oil on hands
shortens the lamp life. (If you touch the bulb glass, wipe off the glass with a clean, lint-free towel and
rubbing alcohol).
4. Reconnect the 2 wires to the screws of the new lamp and gently tighten the screws. Insert the new lamp
into the housing.
5. Replace the lens and fix the lamp and the lens with the fixation screw.
Installing the Colorwheel
Procedure :
1. Unscrew the nut and the first tooth ring from the fixation axle of the colour-wheel motor.
2. Remove the foil of the colour-wheel.
3. Slip the colorwheel onto the fixation axle of the motor.
4. Slip the tooth ring first and then the nut onto the fixation axle.
5. Fasten the nut without damaging the colorwheel.
6. Fix the colorwheel with motor via the fixation on the motor to the Pinspot housing and tighten
the screw.
7. Attach the safety-rope with the carabine at the Pinspot's mounting-bracket.
Installing the Mirrorballmotor
Procedure :
1. The fixation holes are located on the baseplate.
2. Hold the baseplate onto the location where the device is to be installed.
3. Mark the boreholes with a pen or a suitable tool.
4. Drill the holes.
5. Hold the baseplate in the desired position and tighten it.
Installing the Mirrorball
Procedure :
1. Connect the mirrorball chain with the screw-on chain link to the installation eye of the mirrorball and
tighten the fixation screw.
2. Insert the fourth chain link of the mirrorball chain, with the mirrorball in the screw-on chain link and tighten
the fixation screw.
Warning: The installation materials may never include abrading material e.g. steel cables in order to
avoid material wearing.
The length of the chain may never exceed 100 cm.
Set Up and Operation

colourwheel begins to rotate.
