The Vari-Lite VL3500 Wash is a high-intensity, full-featured moving head wash luminaire, a key product in the Vari-Lite Series 3000 family. Known for its robust build and versatile beam control, it is capable of producing over 70,000 lumens of light output in its highest wattage mode. The fixture is designed for large-scale productions, including concerts, theatrical events, and architectural lighting, where powerful, flexible color washing is essential.

A standout feature is the internal zoomable beam optics, which, in conjunction with the unique VARI-BRITE mode, allows the fixture to switch from a broad wash to a remarkably tight, intense column of light for powerful aerial effects. The VL3500 Wash offers extensive color control through a CYM color mixing system, variable CTO color temperature correction, and two five-position fixed color wheels. The unit can operate its short arc lamp at three different wattages (900W, 1200W, or 1650W) for customized performance and energy management. Its precision movement is controlled via DMX512, providing smooth and accurate pan and tilt capabilities for dynamic stage effects.
