Getting started
Lamping up
The Aureol BeamSpot has a built-in transformer to convert from your local voltage to the
12V required by the lamp. Once you have installed the lamp, your Aureol BeamSpot
should be ready to go. Note that on the version with the electronic transformer, a
dimming option is standard, so please ensure that the dimming knob on the back of the
spot is at its “Full” position (completely clock-wise) to test fitting.
Integral transformer options:
220V-240V:
copper wire wound - 50W maximum; electronic with voltage regulation -
75W maximum; electronic with dimmer - 75W maximum.
120V:
copper wire wound - 50W maximum; electronic with voltage regulation - 50W maximum; electronic with dimmer - 50W
maximum.
The Aureol BeamSpot uses standard MR16 12V low voltage lamps with a GU5.3 lamp base. MR16 lamps are available in a
choice of beam angles ranging from 8
to 60
.
To insert a lamp, loosen the lid-locking knob, and open the lid. Plug the lamp base into the lamp, and then push the lamp
retention spring out of the way, and drop the lamp into the rear lamp slot. Release the spring to lock the lamp in, and close
and lock the lid.

spot can be locked into position by tightening this nut.
B: Spot mounting shaft - used to attach the spot to a track adaptor, ceiling rose,
or other mounting option. An M13 thread is required to attach to this shaft.

beam shaper, giving you a physical indication that it is in the in line position.
J: Lamp compartment lid.
K: Ventilation slots. These vents must be unobstructed at all times.
L:
Mounting locking screw. This „grub-screw‟ is used to lock the M13 component
that screws into the spot mounting shaft in order to prevent movement.

thick. The colour media used should be 50mm, either round or square.
T: Thick glass slot: This slot will accept glass media (such as UV filters or beam
spreader filters) that is less than 4mm thick. We do not recommend the use
of standard glass colour filters in the spot, as darker colours may not last
(50mm, round or square).
