VariLite VL3500 Spot Luminaire

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.

Product Weight:  91 lbs with rails

Technical Tools

Manufacturer Specs

Color System: A three-filter CYM cross-fading mechanism. A fixed color wheel with six interchangable color filters and continuous wheel rotation for additional effects. It includes a variable CTO color temperature correction filter.
Zoom Optics: A 13-element 6:1 zoom optics system, covering a range from 10° to 60°.
Shutter Control: 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. The entire mechanism can rotate 50° in either direction.
Intensity Control: Full field dimming designed for both smooth timed fades as well as quick dimming effects.
Strobe: A high-performance dual blade strobe system capable of ultra-fast operation.
Rotating Gobo Wheel: One gobo/effects wheel combine to provides five rotatable, indexable gobo positions and one open position.
Fixed Gobo Wheel: One gobo/effects wheel combine to provides six positions for standard or custom gobos and one open position.
Edge and Pattern Focus: Variable beam focus to soften edges of gobos or spots. Remarkable depth of field capability allows morphing effects between all pattern and effects wheels.
   
Pan and Tilt: Smooth, timed continuous motion by way of a three-phase stepper motor system.
Range: Pan - 540°, Tilt - 270°.
Accuracy: 0.3° resolution.
