Vari-Lite has announced that the VL2600 SE Series has received the Plasa Award for Innovation in Sustainability at the recent Plasa Show London 2024.
Product entries were judged by a team comprising 13 independent technical specialists from an array of backgrounds. The Sustainability Award is only awarded at the judges’ discretion, and it has only been awarded three times in the last ten years.
“This award from Plasa is a great honour, and it exemplifies why the VL2600 SE Series is the smart choice product with a sustainable future,” said Martin Palmer, Vari-Lite Marketing and Product Management Leader at Signify. “The VL2600 SE Series offers significantly increased output to new and existing fixtures. It’s possible to rent a VL2600 luminaire on every continent on the globe, and this new SE Series increases sustainability by extending the life of these highly specified light fixtures with notably higher output and the same outstanding features. It was exciting to have the judges validate the impact of this approach.”
To be eligible for the Sustainability Award, product entries were required to show a reduction in the environmental impact of the product life cycle.
“Sustainability is core to our DNA at Vari-Lite,” added Sameer Sodhi, Vari-Lite Business Leader at Signify. “Signify is a world leader in sustainability, and so it is never our intention just to release a plethora of new products superseding or making irrelevant our current portfolio. That’s why the new VL2600 light engine leverages advancements in LED technology to increase the output of the current family of fixtures, reducing cost and impact on the environment.”
