Looks cool! And I like the surroundings as well! 🤒

Your house must be huge 😁

I wanted the smaller "Double Bubble" as well and got it yesterday. It has 12V halogen bulbs and so needs a transformer. The factory has chosen a 2-pin DIN speaker plug for the connection - wonder how loud I'd have to play until it lights up? 😂

That all depends on using a 6500 or 8000! 😜 😂

The lights on the 8000 are bigger ;)

 

Actually, it has 1 x 20W bulb and 2 x 10W bulbs, so that adds up to 40W. At 12 volts, that is reached at 3.3 amps, so the resistance of the entire lamp is 3.6 ohms. Thus, a BM6500 playing a 50 Hz sine wave should be more than well able to keep two of these lit, and you could dim them with the volume control ❓

(not going to try though, as halogen bulbs are near short circuit until the filament heats up! 😂 )

Along with a selection of illuminating products from Mr Starck, Jona Hoads creation takes pride of place. 

Hi,

I hope I am right, but the post deals with light. ;-)

Is there anyone on the forum having experiances using Beo remotes for further tasks like dimming light, switching lights, etc. I have fond some light dimmer at bosscom.com

Hello Larskolle, I am familiar with Bosscom because I ordered several items from the company a while back, for TheLuxPod and did not have a good experience with them.  I would not recommend purchasing from Bosscom, based on the unprofessional way in which they conduct their business.  The company has no relationship with Bang & Olufsen, which was confirmed by Bang & Olufsen at their flagship store in Knightsbridge, London.  I ordered three i-Pod docks "for B&O" as they say in their marketing blurb. Two of them did not work.  The three items were very badly engineered and I would suggest their origin is China. Furthermore, various cable covers and DVD wall stands were also ordered and delivered and the color did not match on the items.  Their origin was also most likely from China. There was no packaging, nor instructions which one would expect from a reputable supplier. In summary, I found the products to be unacceptable and not of merchantable quality.  If you are a discerning purchaser, I suggest you consider very carefully your purchase options and ensure that you have the right to return the goods, if they are not satisfactory to your needs. Regards, Judith
