Default Is there two version of Bowen light?

The local Bowen light looks like its from www.bowensusa.com than from www.bowens.co.uk or the same series.

Does the one from U.S is made in U.S? Anyone know what's the difference between the two?

unless the unit has dual voltage, else you need a voltage transformer to use it locally.

The seller told me that he used it here without any problem. Is it possible that somehow he got a modified unit to adapt the voltage here?

Just for confirmation, a new unit of Espirit Gemini should be a black one is it?
