Flightcases
Vari*Lite VL3500 Spot Luminaire, high power 1200 Watt ARC lamp. CMY, Gobo, Zoom movinghead.
This spot luminaire maintains the same high standards for imagery, beam control, color and brightness set by the original Vari-Lite Series 3000™ Spot luminaires, but with the added feature of a four-blade shutter mechanism that allows the blades to be operated independently or in unison on two planes for a clear and crisp image.
It features a 6:1 zoom optics, CYM color mixing, variable CTO color temperature correction, a six-position color wheel, two gobo/effects wheels, a shutter and separate dimmer and ultra-fast strobe mechanisms. A standard pallet of gobos, effects and colors is provided with the unit. Custom gobos, effects and color are available.
An upper enclosure houses the control electronics as well as the arc power supply for the 1200 watt short arc lamp. The arc power supply is power factor corrected for efficient power distribution. The VL3500 Spot luminaire can be controlled from a wide variety of DMX-512 consoles.
The luminaire is the same size as all other Vari-Lite Series 3000 luminaires, providing a consistent hang configuration and appearance no matter which luminaire type is required. In cases where a detachable cord is required, consider the Vari-Lite 3500 Spot+, which also has a slightly different glacier gobo.
