Specification Overview
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 CYM color mixing system using three color wheels is provided for a broad range of user color selection. The color system is capable of color changes in less than 0.6 seconds. In addition to the CYM system, a fixed color wheel with 11 discrete colors is included for specific color requirements and snap color changes in .14 seconds.
The unit contains a coated glass dimmer wheel that provides full field dimming and allows for both smooth timed fades and fast blackouts. A high-performance, dual blade strobe system is operated with two motors and is capable of various strobe effects. The unit is equipped with a zoomable beam spreader that allows continuous field angle changes from 14° to 55.5° in less than 1.8 seconds.
Detailed Description
The VL2500 Wash luminaire is equipped with the same features and characteristics that make the original Series 2000™ fixtures so useful. It is still small, lightweight, and fast with a 700-watt short-arc lamp, impressive lumen output, and a zoom range from 14º to 55º. Of course, the VL2500 Wash luminaire still provides three-wheel CYM color mixing. When combined with 11 standard colors on a fixed wheel, the color options are practically limitless. The new features in this luminaire are the coated glass dimmer wheel which provides smooth fades, and a separate dual-blade strobe system that offers quiet and reliable strobe effects. In addition, the VL2500 Wash luminaire’s pan and tilt motors are now more powerful and provide more torque. The fixture is the same size at the VL2500™ Spot luminaire, and it has the same profile, providing a consistent hang configuration and appearance no matter which luminaire type is required. The VL2500 Wash luminaire can be controlled from virtually any DMX512 console or DMX output device.
