The VL3500™ Wash luminaire is the newest
member of the
VARI
k
LITE
®
Series 3000™
family of luminaires. With an output that
exceeds 50,000 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 an 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
k
BRITE™ mode.
From any zoom position, this mode can be
engaged to offer a tight column of remarkably
intense light making the VL3500™ the most
versatile wash luminaire on the market.
The VL3500™ Wash allows users to operate
it’s single lamp at two different wattages via
either a control channel setting or a lamp menu
option. With only a setting adjustment, the
fixture will run it’s short arc lamp at either
1200W or 1500W 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.

Programmable Functions
Color System:
Six color control wheels total. A three filter CYM cross fading system,
two fixed color wheels with five interchangeable color filters each
capable of continuous wheel rotation for additional effects, and a
variable CTO color temperature correction wheel.
Beam Control:
A zoomable beam spreader mechanism provides continuous beam
size control for rapid or smooth timed changes. The
VARI
k
BRITE™
mode, accessible from all zoom positions, splits the beam spreader and
produces a tight, intense column of light. Easily interchangeable glass
panels (included) allow user to choose either Fresnel or Buxom
spreader patterns.
Beam may also be controlled through the use of one of three easily
interchangeable front lenses: Plano Convex-Clear, Plano Convex-
Stipple, and Fresnel – all three included. A Buxom lens will be available
as an accessory option. All front lens assemblies have mounting points
to allow for attachment of aftermarket accessory hardware.
Aperture wheel offering different diameters and capable of continuous
rotation for effects purposes.
Intensity Control:
Full field dimming designed for both smooth timed fades as well as
quick dimming effects.
Strobe:
High-performance dual blade strobe system independent of dimmer
wheel and capable of ultra-fast operation.
Pan and Tilt:
