 The VARI*LITE® VL1000™ TUNGSTEN Shutter luminaire combines the functionality of one of the most popular conventional lighting tools — the ellipsoidal reflector spotlight — with the versatility of an automated luminaire.

Specification Overview
The VARI*LITE® VL1000™ TUNGSTEN Shutter luminaire's Automated functions include
CYM color mixing, rotating gobos, variable diffusion and a zoom lens
that ranges from 19° to 36° for normal imaging and a super zoom
function that ranges to 70°.
This Model delivers more than 15,000
lumens with the higher color temperature of the 575 watt arc source.
These models also include a mechanical dimmer and a truss-mounted,
fanless ballast.
The
VL1000TS model includes an automated, four-blade shutter mechanism that
provides control of all shutter functions popular in conventional
ellipsoidal reflector spotlights. Detailed Description
The unit contains independent stepper motors to provide movement of the
head through 540° in the horizontal plane (pan) and 270° in the
vertical plane (tilt). The luminaire calibrates to minimize hanging
distances.
A zooming multi-element optical system provides continuous focus of
gobo images for field angles from 19° to 36°. A super zoom function
provides field angles to 70°. Independent control of edge is provided.
A CYM color mixing system is provided for a broad range of user color
selection. A variable diffusion stage is also included. This stage
provides controlled reduction of the contrast ratio of imagery and beam
edges. The effect is a continuous transition from spotlight to
floodlight.
A six-position gobo wheel with five rotatable, indexable gobo positions
and one open position is included. Gobos are easily installed and
removed. (A wide selection of gobos is available from Vari-Lite.)
Framing
shutter models contain four shutter blades that translate radially
across the beam. Each individual shutter is capable of translating to
beam center while also rotating ±35°. The framing shutter mechanism
rotates as a unit ±45°.
Physical
MOUNTING POSITION The VL1000 ERS luminaire can be mounted and operated in any orientation. SPACING Full range of motion on 26.5" centers. Hangs as close as 20.0". WEIGHT 70 lbs (32 kg). Lamp

ZOOM OPTICS Continuously variable field angle in imaging range from
19° to 36°, super zoom angles to 70° is programmable over a timed range
of 2 seconds to 20 minutes. COLOR MIXING A fully cross-fading CYM color system is included. Diffusion: Field or gobo can be continuously and smoothly diffused to wash. ROTATING GOBO WHEEL Six-position rotating gobo wheel with five rotatable, indexable gobo positions and one open position. SHUTTER Four-blade
system can frame and crop beam field and gobos. Each individual shutter
is capable of translating to beam center while also rotating ±35°.
Entire shutter rotates ±45°. PAN & TILT Smooth, timed
continuous motion using stepper motors with encoder correction. Pan
range is 540°; tilt is 270°. Resolution is 0.1°. Unit will calibrate to
support close hangs (yoke-to-yoke). Control & Programming
CONTROL Compatible with a wide variety of DMX-512 consoles. DMX CHANNELS 27 Power
POWER REQUIREMENTS Depending on voltage, 1 to 2 A are supplied to the Tungsten models through standard AC distribution. Thermal
OPERATIONAL TEMPERATURE -20° to 122°F (-29° to 50°C). COOLING Free
convection cooling when hung. Floor mounted units and extreme ambient
temperatures activate a low-noise, forced-air cooling system. DMX Table
