Renaissance Orrery

Introducing our new line of orrery lamps: Illuminate your space with celestial elegance

Experience the union of art and science with our brand-new line of Orrery Lamps. We've recently successfully developed a model that displays a lighted Sun without sacrificing artisitc quality. Our Renaissance Orrery Lamp includes a hand-painted glass globe reflecting the Sun in a realistic hydrogen-alpha filter.

Handcrafted at our workshop in Boulder, CO, USA, the Renaissance Orrery Lamp is a testament to over 28 years of expertise in creating fine Orreries and scientific instruments. Each model is a unique design conceptualized and brought to life by Science Art.

Features of the Renaissance Orrery Lamp

  • An 8-planet Solar System model portraying the Sun and planets from Mercury to Neptune, with a small dial representing the minor planet Pluto.
  • The Sun, a hand-painted glass globe, in which our proprietary LED lighting system casts a gentle glow, creates a warm ambiance.
  • Activate the motion of the orrery and/or the lamp with a discreet switch located at the rear of the unit or through an included remote control.
  • Designed with convenience in mind, the Renaissance Orrery features an internal rechargeable battery, allowing up to 8 hours of uninterrupted operation. For periodic charging, simply connect the included USB cable, which recharges in approximately 3 hours. The Orrery can continue functioning even during charging.
  • Assembly is a breeze, taking only about 20 minutes, thanks to the easy-to-follow instructions provided.

Materials & Size

  • All mechanical components such as gears, tubes, planet arms, and drive, are meticulously constructed using premium materials including brass, stainless steel, and nylon.
  • The planets and moons, are crafted from semi-precious stones (identified in the owner's manual). While natural variations in stone occur, we try to represent each planet's "color" with closest approximation to their NASA representation.
  • The Sun is a hand-painted glass globe, which threads onto the interior bulb. It is neither mass produced nor made from resin/plastic.
  • The mechanical gearwork and motor sit within a sturdy four-legged stand with a beautiful solid walnut surround and an optionally displayed engraved constellation ring of oak veneer adding an extra touch of celestial charm..
