Q Spot luminaire is a
powerful 1200W luminaire with 50 percent
audible reduction in noise output from the
standard VL3500
™
Spot luminaire. The
VL3500Q Spot luminaire maintains the same
high standards set by the original VARI
❋
LITE
Series 3000 luminaires for imagery, color, and
brightness. The added feature is a four-blade
shutter mechanism that allows the blades to be
operated independently or in unison on two
planes for a clear and crisp image. The “Q” range
fixtures are designed for situations where the
absence of noise is critical to the performance.
The VL3500Q Spot moves and operates the
same as the VL3500 Spot luminaire. The trade
off is strictly thermal. The “Q” range has an
ambient temperature rating of 40-degrees
Celsius, compared to the 50-degree Celsius
rating on the standard “non-Q” fixtures.
The VARI
❋
LITE VL3500Q Spot luminaire features
6:1 zoom optics, CYM color mixing, variable CTO
color temperature correction, a six position fixed
color wheel, one rotating gobo effects wheel, one
fixed gobo effects wheel, and separate dimmer
and ultra-fast strobe mechanisms. A standard
palette of gobos, effects, and fixed colors is
provided with the unit. Custom gobos, effects,
and colors are available.
An upper enclosure houses the control
electronics as well as the arc power supply for
the 1200 Watt short arc lamp. The arc power
supply is power factor corrected for superior
power distribution and efficiency.
The VL3500Q Spot luminaire can be controlled
from a wide variety of DMX-512 consoles
without the need for additional interface
equipment.
The change in size and weight due to
the modifications is minimal, allowing
a consistent hang configuration and
appearance no matter which luminaire
type is required. The bottom vent
cover is one inch taller, and the fixture
is three pounds heavier than standard
VL3500 Spot fixtures.

ogrammable Functions
Color System:
A
three-filter CYM cross-fading mechanism. A fixed color wheel
with six interchangeable color filters and continuous wheel rotation
for additional effects. It includes a variable CTO color temperature
correction filter.
Zoom Optics:
A
13-element 6:1 zoom optics system, covering a range
from 10° to 60°.
Shutter Control:
A
four-blade shutter mechanism that allows the blades to be operated
independently or in unison on two planes for a clear and crisp image.
The entire mechanism can rotate 50º in either direction.
Intensity Control:
Full field dimming designed for smooth timed fades as well as
quick dimming effects.
Strobe:
High-performance dual blade strobe system capable of
ultra-fast operation.
Rotating Gobo Wheel:
One gobo/ef
fects wheel provides five rotatable, indexable gobo
positions and one open position.
Fixed Gobo Wheel:
One fixed gobo/ef
fects wheel provides six positions for
standard or custom gobos and one open position.
Edge and Pattern Focus:
V
ariable beam focus to soften edges of gobos or spots. Remarkable
depth of field capability allows morphing effects between all pattern
and effects wheels and shutter.
