The VARI
❋
LITE VL440 Spot luminaire is compact
and economical but still loaded with powerful and
useful features. This new series of luminaire from
Philips Vari-Lite provides lighting designers with
effective and creative tools for any venue or
production size.
The VL440 Spot luminaire comes complete with all
of the optical quality and functionality designers
have come to expect from Philips Vari-Lite. It is
small, lightweight, and fast with a 400-watt MSR
Gold 400 MiniFastFit lamp, very impressive lumen
output, a zoom range from 15º to 36º, and a
mechanical iris for continuous beam control. A drop
in frost glass assembly allows users to soften the
overall beam, allowing for additional beam control.
Built in mounting points on the front of the
luminaire provide for easy attachment of
after-market accessories such as top hats.
The VL440 Spot luminaire provides brilliant color
mixing with its three-wheel CYM color assembly
based on the widely praised Series 3000 color
system. When combined with eight standard colors
on a fixed wheel, the color options are practically
limitless.
Additionally, a coated glass dimmer wheel provides
smooth fades, and a separate dual-blade strobe
system offers quiet and reliable strobe effects. The
VL440 Spot luminaire’s powerful pan and tilt
motors provide smooth, fast time-controlled
continuous motion capable of 0.3° resolution with
a pan range of 540° and tilt of 260°.
For image projection, the fixture has one gobo
wheel with seven rotatable and indexable positions
and a second gobo wheel with ten fixed positions.
The VL440 Spot luminaire comes equipped with
glass gobos and effects but will readily accept
metal replacement patterns.
The VL440 Spot luminaire contains everything that
really matters to designers – limitless color options,
unmatched clarity of optics, exceptional zoom
range, fast, smooth movement and powerful
output; all of these features are combined in a
compact, lightweight and cost-effective, new
luminaire.
The VL440 Spot luminaire can be controlled from
virtually any DMX512 console or DMX output
device.
