Vari*Lite VL3500 Wash

The VL3500 Wash luminaire is the high intensity
wash tool in the VARI❋LITE Series 3000 family of
luminaires. With an output that exceeds 70,000
lumens, as well as varied new options for color
and beam control, this fixture will soon be the
standard by which all wash lights are measured.
The VL3500 Wash luminaire features internal
zoomable beam optics with either Fresnel or
Buxom options, an interchangeable front lens
system, and a five-position aperture wheel. The
fixture provides CYM color mixing, variable CTO
color temperature correction, dual five position
color wheels, a separate dimmer, and an
independent dual blade strobe mechanism.
In conjunction with its zoomable optics system,
Vari-Lite introduces the VARI❋BRITE mode. From
virtually any zoom position, this mode can be
engaged to offer a tight column of remarkably
intense light making the VL3500 Wash the most
versatile wash luminaire on the market.
The VL3500 Wash 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.
An upper enclosure houses the control electronics
as well as an arc power supply for the unit’s short
arc lamp. The arc power supply is power factor
corrected for efficient power distribution and
reliability.
The VL3500 Wash is similar in size to our other
Series 3000 luminaires, which provides
a consistent hang configuration and
appearance no matter which luminaire
type is utilized.
