Vari-Lite VLX LED Moving Head Light

$499.00

The VARI-LITE VLX Wash luminaire incorporates the most attractive benefits of LED lighting technology with the product quality and design ingenuity only found in VARI-LITE automated luminaires. By giving lighting designers the unique ability to replicate the color temperature of a tungsten or arc lamp source, this truly revolutionary luminaire offers an incomparable flexibility never seen before in the LED lighting market.

With stunning colors, powerful intensity, a multi-year source life, low energy consumption and even lower maintenance costs, Vari-Lite VLX Wash luminaire truly is the new face of LED lighting technology.

With patents pending, the internal beam homogenization system creates smooth colormixing that is natural and free of any “color shadowing” effects associated with other LED fixtures.

About the Vari-Lite VLX LED Moving Head Light

The Vari-Lite VLX is a professional LED-powered moving head luminaire that combines the creative flexibility of a moving light with the efficiency and long life of LED technology. It is designed as a versatile fixture suitable for both wash and spot applications, capable of producing a broad, even field of soft light or a more defined, textured beam depending on the configuration and optical accessories used. By utilizing high-output LED engines, the VLX eliminates the need for traditional discharge lamps, resulting in significantly reduced power consumption, minimal heat output, and virtually no maintenance related to lamp changes. This makes it an environmentally and economically favorable choice for touring, theatrical productions, and permanent installations where energy costs and reliability are key considerations.

A core feature of the VLX is its advanced color system. Unlike fixtures with a single white LED source and color wheels, high-end LED moving heads often use multiple banks of red, green, blue, and sometimes white or amber LEDs (RGB+WA). This allows for incredibly rich, saturated colors and subtle pastel hues through additive color mixing, providing a vast color palette for lighting designers. The fixture typically includes a full range of mechanical functions such as smooth pan and tilt, zoom, focus, and frost effects. Its LED source enables features like instant on/off, silent operation (no fan noise required for lamp cooling in some modes), and reduced UV/IR emission.

Built to the rigorous standards of the Vari-Lite brand, the VLX features a robust housing designed for the demands of touring. It integrates seamlessly into lighting control networks via DMX512 and often includes advanced features like built-in media server capabilities or wireless control options. As a modern moving light solution, the Vari-Lite VLX empowers designers with vibrant color, operational savings, and creative flexibility, making it a staple for concerts, television, and architectural lighting where dynamic, colorful effects are desired.
