Solotech takes stock of Vari-Lite VL3600 LT

New LT model of Vari-Lite VL3600 offers superior output at longer distances.

Vari-Lite has introduced VL3600 LT Profile IP to the market. This long-throw version of the popular VL3600 Series luminaire offers the same excellent colour mixing, powerful effects, and outdoor weather rating as the existing fixture, but with superior output at extremely narrow zoom ranges.

“The VL3600 Profile IP is quickly becoming an industry standard on the world’s largest tours, TV events and theatrical productions,” explained Martin Palmer, Vari-Lite Product Management and Marketing Leader at Signify. “Designers love the output, colours and feature set in the fixture, but want an option for longer throw applications. That’s why we designed the VL3600 LT for key lighting at a distance, with an optimised long-throw optical system and 3° to 42° zoom range.”

The 1000W luminaire offers a matched feature set to the VL3600 Profile, including the source, optics and colour mixing system, as well as the exclusive VL*FX animation wheel, patent-pending V*Track Calibration system, IP65 outdoor weather rating and more. This ensures the fixtures can be used together seamlessly in a production.

“Solotech has already made the first purchase of VL3600 LT units, increasing the overall position of VL3600 Series fixtures by approximately 200 additional units,” said John Flynn, Vice President, Operations, Solotech Live Productions. “These additional VL3600 and 3600 LT units are immediately being shipped on Solotech global tours and events, and we are confident more productions featuring the VL3600 LT are expected in the coming months.”

The VL3600 LT Profile IP will be displayed on the Vari-Lite stand (D51) at London’s PLASA Show in London, UK.
