About the Vari-Lite VL3015 LT Moving Head Spot Light
The Vari-Lite VL3015 LT is a versatile, automated moving head spot luminaire designed for professional stage, television, and touring productions, engineered to balance high output with a lightweight, efficient form factor. This fixture builds upon the legacy of the VL3000 series, incorporating a modern 750-watt discharge lamp and refined optical system to produce a bright, focused beam with exceptional color mixing and gobo projection capabilities. Its "LT" designation signifies a streamlined design that reduces overall weight and bulk compared to its predecessors, making it an advantageous choice for rigs where weight limitations are a critical concern, such as in television studios, theaters, and touring productions with stringent trucking or flying weight budgets.
The fixture offers a comprehensive suite of creative features expected from a professional spot moving light, including a full CMY (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) color mixing system for generating millions of saturated and pastel colors, a linear CTO (Color Temperature Orange) filter for precise white light adjustment, and two independent gobo wheels with rotation and indexing functions. It also includes a high-resolution, mechanical dimmer and a variable-speed strobe effect, all housed within a quiet, high-speed movement system providing expansive pan and tilt ranges. The advanced optical train includes a motorized zoom that allows for dynamic adjustment of the beam angle from a tight spot to a wider field without compromising focus, enabling lighting designers to tailor the light's footprint to the exact needs of each cue.
Designed for reliability and ease of integration, the VL3015 LT utilizes standard DMX512 control and can be networked using Vari-Lite's own VLNet protocol for enhanced data management and diagnostics. It features robust, industry-standard power and data connectors for straightforward touring deployment. The combination of reduced weight, professional output, and a comprehensive feature set makes the Vari-Lite VL3015 LT a strategic tool for lighting designers and production companies seeking a high-quality, automated spot fixture that delivers substantial performance without the physical and logistical demands of larger, heavier units.
