The VARI

LITE

¨

VL2500

ª

Spot luminaire is

based on a very popular existing lighting tool Ð

the VL2000

ª

Spot luminaire Ð with additional new

features that make it even more appealing. 

The VL2500 Spot luminaire comes complete with

all of the qualities and options designers love

from the original Series 2000

ª

fixtures. It is still

small, lightweight, and fast with a 700-watt short-

arc lamp, impressive lumen output, and a zoom

range from 18.5¼ to 42¼. 

To add to these features, the VL2500 Spot lumi-

naire provides three-wheel CYM color mixing.

When combined with 11 standard colors on a

fixed wheel, the color options are practically

limitless.

Additionally, a coated glass dimmer wheel pro-

vides smooth fades, and a separate dual-blade

strobe system offers quiet and reliable strobe

effects. The VL2500 Spot luminaireÕs pan and tilt

motors are now more powerful and provide more

torque. 

For image projection, the fixture has one gobo

wheel with five rotatable and indexable positions

and a second gobo wheel with 11 fixed positions. 

The VL2500 Spot luminaire contains everything

that really matters to designers Ð limitless color

options, clarity of optics, exceptional zoom range,

fast, smooth movement and powerful output.

The VL2500 Spot luminaire can be controlled

from virtually any DMX512 console or DMX out-

put device.
