Specification Overview
The VARI*LITE® VL3000™ Spot luminaire features a 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 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. Detailed Description
The unit contains two independent three-phase stepper motors to provide movement of the head through 540° in the horizontal plane (pan) and 270° in the vertical plane (tilt). The pan and tilt mechanisms are belt-driven, providing positional resolution and repeatability of 0.3° on either axis
A 6:1 zoom optics system adjusts the projected field angle over a range of 10° to 60°. Variable beam focus is provided to soften the edges of gobos or spots and to provide gobo morphing. The projected image remains in focus throughout the entire zoom range
The unit contains a CYM color mixing system, as well as variable CTO color temperature correction.
One continuously spinning, removable color filter wheel is included. The color wheel holds six interchangeable dichroic colors to allow for custom configurations. The unit comes equipped with a standard palette of dichroic color filters.
Three gobo/effects wheels – two six-position, one five-position – each containing individually rotating, indexable gobos and patterned glass effects. The rotating gobos are easily interchangable to allow customization of the unit. The unit comes equipped with a standard set of gobos and effects.

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°.
BEAM SIZE CONTROL
A mechanical iris provides continuous beam size control for both rapid changes and smooth timed beam angle changes.
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 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.
PAN AND TILT
Smooth, timed continuous motion by way of a three-phase stepper motor system.
