Safety precautions
Various symbols are used throughout this instruction manual and on the product to prevent
physical harm to you or other people and damage to property. The symbols and their
meanings are explained below.
This symbol indicates the risk of electric shock or fire danger that could
result in injury or damage to equipment.
In order to protect against risk of electric shock, the installation should
be properly grounded. Defeating the purpose of the grounding type plug
will expose you to the risk of electric shock.
Disconnect the KOSMOS from the mains voltage before replacing a
damaged fuse. Never bridge a fuse.
Possible risk of injury or damage to equipment.
Fire risk
The housing can reach high temperatures. Keep a safety distance of
0,25 m / 10” to adjacent surfaces on all sides of the fixture.
Do not cover the lamp head while using it. Proper ventilation must be
provided on the upper ventilation slots and the bottom air filter.
Avoid exposing the lamp head to the heat radiation of other light fixtures.
Do not place the product on heat sources.
Do not power on the product if the ambient temperature exceeds 45° C.
Keep the cables away from the fixture.
High light beam intensity
The lamp head is equipped with power LED. Due to their high light-
output intensity don’t stare directly into the light source.
Do not open the product. Doing so will invalidate the product warranty.
Do not attempt to repair any part of the product on your own.
Maintenance and repair work to be carried out only by VELVET Service
Centre.
Never connect the product to a dimmer system or a dimmer channel in
non-dim mode. Doing so will damage the KOSMOS fixture electronics.
Damages caused by connecting the product to a not suitable power
source are not covered by the warranty.
Never point a light beam from another fixture into the light KOSMOS
source.

Though the light generated by LED does not produce any heat, for
what his use turns out to be very comfortable for the actors, the lamp
head acts as a heat sink through its back part. Surface can reach a
temperature between the 20ºC and the 60ºC. Please use protective
gloves if you touch the lamp head at the heat sink.
This equipment has been checked and meets the requirements of
general safety for electronic devices. These requirements are specified
to provide a reasonable protection against electromagnetic interferences
when the equipment is used in commercial environments.
This equipment generates, uses and can emit waves of radio frequency,
and if not properly used following the instructions of this manual
can produce interferences in radio communications. The use of this
equipment in residential areas can produce interference, the user will be
the only responsible of correcting them.

Main features
Welcome Thank you for selecting KOSMOS LED Fresnel from VELVET. The
KOSMOS are compact color-tunable Fresnel producing unprecedent
output with motorized ZOOM and total wireless control. KOSMOS are
much more efficient than a traditional tungsten Fresnel and are the
LED color-tunable Fresnel efficiency market leaders.
The KOSMOS emit variable color light with adjustable color
temperature, adjustable green/magenta correction and remotely
controlled beam angle. Every KOSMOS model can be controlled using
DMX-RDM protocol, Art-Net through LumenRadio wireless, Wi-fi Art-
Net, Bluetooth or locally with full-color touchscreen plus two rotary
knobs.
Control
advantatges • You can locally or remotely adjust the beam angle with any control
mode.
• Any base white light color temperature betwenn 2500 and 9900K can
be set to apply over any color or gel.
Electronic
zoom With KOSMOS you are entering on the digital beam control era. From
13° spot to 56° flood, digital beam control allows you to change the
beam angle, mid-shot without manual adjustment. No hassle replacing
fixed optics to have different beam angles.
With KOSMOS beam change is instant at your fingertips, local or
remotely, with a DMX wire or wireless.
V5 ceramic
light engine VELVET KOSMOS includes a state of the art VELVET proprietary super
compact 35mm full-color light engine. A total of 212 Red, Green, Blue,
Warm White and Cool White high-power LED are arranged over a
ceramic substrate with a special distribution to produce a homogeneous
beam of very powerful light.
The light engine compact diameter acts as a point source to produce
sharp, single shadow light with bright and saturated colors. The finest
quality Red, Green and Blue LED emit highly saturated colors while
the addition of high CRI Warm and Cool white LED produce a massive
amount of white light over only color light engines.

A. Main features 10
The KOSMOS V5LED technology (R+G+B+W+CW) offers clear
advantages on light quality and color adjustment:
• More saturated colors
• More natural white light with much wider color gamut
• Higher degree of color control
• Higher light output and less electric consumption thanks to its ceramic
light engine efficiency
3D chamber
cooling system Compactness comes from an extremely compact and lightweight
cooling system designed by VELVET.
Every KOSMOS includes a passive liquid cooling system contained into a
sealed 3D copper chamber with a silent fan protected by an air filter.
This advanced cooling system is controlled with three heat sensors and
a variable speed silent fan to keep not only the light engine but also the
electronics at the optimum temperature.
Glass fresnel lens A true 12” (300 mm) borosilicate glass Fresnel lens produces a
traditional effect, consistently creating 13° to 56° single-shadow beam
angles, clean color reproduction and ensuring years of reliable operation.
The big size of the lens produce a natural, hard and directional Fresnel
light with the VELVET character to create real image

POWER OPTIONS
The KOSMOS 400 Location can be powered by AC power, by any battery from 26 to 48 VDC or
by using two Vlock or two Gold batteries and it delivers the same full output both AC and DC
powered.
BATTERY POWER 24 to 48 VDC
Connect any battery from 26 to 48 VDC to the XLR3 connector.
When powering VELVET KOSMOS Location from an external battery
through the XLR3 connector check that the pin-out of the battery
matches the pin-out of the KOSMOS as shown in the pin-out picture
at the bottom of the fixture. Wrong assigned pin-outs can damage the
KOSMOS Location and or the battery.
The KOSMOS Location switches off when the battery voltage drops
below 26 V DC. The fixture will be damaged when the battery voltage
exceeds 50 VDC. To ensure maximum performance of the equipment
use only high-load capacity batteries with a high continuous draw
meaning a Discharge Current of at least 10A.

Secure the Vlock or Gold plate by inserting the locking pin into place.
DOUBLE V-LOCK AND DOUBLE GOLD BATTERY ADDAPTERS
VELVET KOSMOS Location can also be directly powered with two 14.4V Vlock or Gold batteries
using VELVET Double Vlock or Gold plate delivering full power light around one hour (200Wh 14.4V x
2).
Use batteries of at least 200W capacity each of them and to ensure maximum performance of
the fixture use only high-load capacity batteries with a high continuous draw meaning a Discharge
Current of at least 10A.
Attach the quick link Double Vlock or Gold plate by aligning the center pin of the mounting plate to
the center hole on the fixture docking plate. Rotate the Double Vlock or Gold plate clockwise until
the four shoulder rivets drop into their receptacles. A locking pin will snap into place when the plate
is properly locked. Connect the XLR3 to the connector.
