VL3015 Spot Moving Head

Product Description

Vari-Lite VL3015 Spot luminaire provides the increased output of a 1500W lamp in a fixture that offers the same features as the wildly popular VL3000 Spot luminaire.

Using a 1500W Osram double-ended short arc lamp, the VL3015 Spot also features 6:1 zoom optics, CYM color mixing, variable CTO color temperature correction, a six-position color wheel, three gobo/effects wheels, a beam size iris and separate dimmer along with ultra-fast strobe mechanisms.

Two reflectors are standard on the luminaire allowing users to choose between either a peaked or flat field beam. In the peaked beam, the fixture provides 27,000 lumens of output, and in the flat field beam, an output of 22,000 lumens is achieved. Reflectors are easily changed, and whichever one is not chosen rides securely inside the luminaire on a specially designed mount.

The VL3015 Spot luminaire is complete with a palette of Vari-Lite gobos, effects and colors, while custom gobos, effects and colors are also available. Additionally, the fixture is similarly sized in comparison to all other Series 3000 products providing a consistent hang configuration and appearance, no matter which luminaire is required.

The VL3015 Spot luminaire allows users to operate its single lamp at three different wattages via either a control channel setting or a lamp menu option. With only a setting adjustment, the fixture will run its short arc lamp at 900W, 1200W or 1650W without any detrimental effects on the lamp.

Programmable Functions

• Color System: a three-filter CYM cross-fading mechanism. A fixed color wheel with six interchangeable color filters and continuous wheel rotation for additional effects. It includes a variable CTO color temperature correction wheel
• Zoom Optics: A 13-element 6:1 zoom optics system, covering a range from 10° to 60°.
• Beam Size Control: A mechanical iris provides continuous beam size control for rapid and smooth timed beam angle changes.
• Intensity Control: Full field dimming designed for smooth timed fades as well as quick dimming effects.
• Strobe: High-performance dual blade strobe system capable of ultra-fast operation.
• Rotating Gobo Wheels: Three gobo/effects wheels combine to provide 14 rotatable, indexable gobo positions. Each wheel also has 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.
• Frost & Prism Capability: Independent rotating and indexing 3-facet prism as well as an independent variable frost glass.
• Pan and Tilt: Smooth, time-controlled continuous motion by way of three-phase stepper motor systems.
• Range: Pan – 540°, Tilt – 270°.
• Accuracy: 0.3° resolution.
