Wash Luminaire is the next
generation of solid-state lighting from the company
that started the revolution in automated lighting.
The VLX wash gives you all the benefits of LED
technology and the best visual performance
characteristics of traditional automated luminaires. VLX
offers stunning colors and intensity, multi-year source
life and high reliability. Combined with low energy
consumption and maintenance costs, the VARI
❋
LITE®
VLX wash resets the bar for all other LED fixtures.
Seven, replaceable custom 120 watt RGBW LED
chipsets provide output that offers three times the
efficacy of comparable tungsten sources. The total
system provides approximately 14,000 lumens of
output, and the 10,000 hour source life of the chip
ensures that lamp replacement costs are a thing of the
past. 70% lumen intensity maintenance over that time
guarantees that the VLX wash will remain powerful and
bright well into the future.
Because of the internal beam homogenization system,
(patents pending) color mixing is smooth, natural, and
free of "color shadowing" effects associated with other
LED fixtures. Additionally, the VLX wash offers a
dynamic CRI adjustment, a continuously adjustable
color temperature white range between approximately
3000 and 9000 Kelvin, and seamless color mixing that
all combine to create a single source that behaves like
familiar arc or tungsten luminaires without the
associated costs and inefficiencies inherent in those
systems.
Zoom control is achieved by the use of a patented
optical zoom system that offers a zoom range from
approximately 23 to 58 degrees. Should a tighter beam
be desired, the entire zoom system can be easily
removed from the luminaire for a fixed field angle of 22
degrees. Accessory mounting points are included
allowing the attachment of additional, aftermarket
beam control devices such as an extendible top hat.
All movements are smooth, silent, and accurate under
the control of the time-proven Vari-Lite three phase
motor system with a full 540 degrees of pan and 270
degrees of tilt control.
The luminaire offers five-pin DMX in and thru
connectors and a backlit menu panel for easy
installation and operation. Control is achieved through
a variety of DMX consoles and output devices. Large,
rugged handles insure easy installation, and
subdued style and understated lines allow for
seamless integration into any lighting rig or
stage setting. Pan and tilt transport/service
locks and low fixture weight make moving
the VLX wash as simple and efficient as it's
operation.
