Vari-Lite and Signify entertainment lighting brand announce the VL3200 LT Profile IP, a compact, long-throw production profile fixture with over 20,000 lumens of output in a small, outdoor-rated format.
“Smaller outdoor-rated moving lights are becoming highly desirable for use both in production systems and installations. The VL3200 LT Profile meets that need without compromising in specification or performance,” says Martin Palmer, Vari-Lite Marketing and Product Management Leader at Signify. “Unfortunately, many midrange IP6X fixtures currently being offered are not being built to the same robust quality and performance as that of the larger fixtures. Compromises in the design of many current offerings result in poor and inconsistent light output and a lack of overall performance, affecting the longevity of the fixture. Productions are looking for a compact IP-rated moving light that offers all the environmental and maintenance advantages, and that matches the same robust performance and longevity of larger fixtures.”
The VL3200 includes a 550W monochromatic light engine and a CMY+CTO color mixing system, designed for a broad range of rich colors. With a wide set of tools, the VL3200 is designed for long-distance key lighting, powerful mid-air effect lighting, and everything in between.
The fixture includes fixed and indexing/rotating gobo wheels, an animation wheel, dual prisms, frost, a 4-blade continuous wipe framing system, a 16-leaf variable iris, and a 12.5:1-ratio zoom range of 4° to 50°. With V*Track Focus technology, the VL3200 offers an advanced 16-bit focus control that ensures the edge and zoom remain aligned throughout the full zoom range with no need to switch between controls at the narrowest end of the range.
“The VL3600 Profile IP has been one of the most successful luminaires in Vari-Lite history, and so it’s understandable that customers want a comparable IP-rated fixture in a smaller, more compact format,” explains Palmer. “The VL3200 offers exactly that, with the same exceptional quality and an output and feature-set tailored to the needs of mid-sized applications.”
