Plus, as an option, all models of the VL500 are available with pastel versions of the standard colors. The pastel colors offer a softer, “Broadway-type” color palette often used in live theater.

As shipping for the VL500 commenced, the first units were delivered to Clearwing Productions in West Allis, WI, to be used on the 79th Annual Concordia College Christmas Concert in Moorhead, MN. The VARIkLITE® portion of the lighting rig for the Concordia Christmas Concert consisted of 32 VL500 Wash luminaires and 8 VL3000 Spot luminaires. The Holiday Spectacular was also taped in HDTV by PBS for television broadcast and DVD distribution. “The market demand for the VL500 had been tremendous,” stated Vari-Lite Product Manager George Masek. “We are very excited to see the luminaires in action during this event as Concordia College has consistently produced top-notch Holiday concerts.” Hubbard went on to state, “It’s better than a VL5™ Wash luminaire with faster head and color speed. There are noticeable intensity increases, especially through the more saturated color range. The onboard IGBT dimming and electronics brings this fixture up to the industry standards on power and data distribution, making it for quick and easy integration into existing rigs. As a long time fan of the VL5™ Wash luminiare, the VL500 is exactly what I expected. It’s simply another great fixture from Vari-Lite.” “Clearwing Productions, Inc., is honored to be the first to receive the latest product from Vari-Lite,” stated Aaron Hubbard, Clearwing Lighting Operations Manager. “Through our direct experiences with the launch of the VL3000™ automated luminaire, we have come to expect nothing less then the excellence in engineering and customer service from Vari-Lite and had no doubt that the VL500 would meet our expectations. Which it has!” luminaires: Series 3000™ luminaires Series 500™ luminaires VL500A model • Optional 575 W or 700 W tungsten lamp VL500 Wash Luminaire: The most economical and lightweight version of the VL3500 Spot luminaire: ™ The VL3500 luminaire is the industry’s most advanced automated luminaire. The extraordinary shutter system of the VL3500 fixture consists of four shutters on two planes, which can be operated independently or in unison. The entire mechanism can be rotated in either direction to allow for even greater creative control. Opposing chamfers and nominal distance between shutter edges allows for a clear, crisp focus on all four blades at once. Combined with the fixture’s fast, fluid movement and precise repeatability, the ability to create is virtually unlimited. The VL3500 luminaire matches perfectly with Vari-Lite’s original VL3000 Spot fixtures to provide a complete 1200W spot package. For applications where silence is critical, the VL3500 luminaire is also available in the popular “Q” version. No other luminaire can provide the 6-to-1 zoom range in a silent-running 1200W fixture.

The VL1000A luminaire’s flexibility and affordable price make it ideal for budget-conscious Throughout the lighting design process for Gypsy, Peggy Eisenhauer and Jules Fisher remained steadfast on creating a lighting system that would remain true to the time period in which the show is set. The solution was a system comprised of 75 VARIkLITE VL1000 arc luminaires, which allowed Eisenhauer and Fisher amazing flexibility in how the show was lighted. Front of house, the VL1000 ERS fixtures were used as spotlights with framing shutters, and overhead, the designers inserted a single piece of diffusion into the gel holder, converting the arc fixtures into soft wash units. One of the nicest features of the fixtures is they go beyond any other achievement in terms of the accuracy, especially with the framing shutters. For one particular shot that is at least 40 feet and framed down to about a 12-inch square, the fixtures have been right on target every single night. Another obstacle the VL1000 ERS units helped overcome was that of excessive fan noise. The set at The Shubert Theatre was essentially a hard surface box that acted like a speaker for any extraneous noises, and there weren’t enough soft materials to absorb sound from any automated fixtures or their cooling fans. Because of the VL1000 ERS’ silent operation, sound emanating from the luminaires was not an issue. There are some fixtures you just cannot bring into the theater because the amount of fan noise just kills the play when people have to speak. With the VL1000 units, sound wasn’t an issue. Eddie Izzard is a rock and roll showman trapped in a stand-up comedian’s body. Josh Monroe, lighting designer for Izzard’s 2003 “Sexie” tour, refers to the stage and screen star as a “glam rock” comedian. The first two minutes of Izzard’s show explain why. Izzard likes a rock and roll entrance. It’s a very ‘David Bowie-like’ spectacular every time he enters or exits the stage. It’s basically flash and trash that shows off all of the bells and whistles of the lighting fixtures. There’s no high art to it, it just whips the audience into a frenzy and lets them know that Eddie is about to hit the stage. The show opens with a 90-second sequence that combines the lighting, music and projection, leading up to Izzard’s grand entrance. To accomplish the look of controlled chaos, Monroe specified the most powerful VARIkLITE fixtures available. The lighting package for the “Sexie” tour included 30 of the Series 3000 luminaires – 18 VL3000 Spot luminaires and 12 VL3000 Wash units. It’s definitely not your standard touring package for a stand-up comedian. It’s a lot of lights for a one-man show, and the VARIkLITE fixtures are the bulk of what’s lighting the performance. The lighting is done in a rock and roll manner – not like a rock and roll concert, but like he’s a rock and roll personality.

On Broadway, lighting designers select the VL1000T for its warm, natural skin tones and perfect color rendering. The quiet operation and convection cooling give the light top billing in installations where noisy fans can detract from even the most stellar performance. Multi-media producers love the ability to create texture, patterns and images using the rotating gobo wheel. And lighting designers are impressed with the fixture’s repeatability; once the pan, tilt, focus and shutter positions are programmed, the VL1000 luminaire hits its mark, time after time. Some bands lead, others follow. One look at a live performance by Mana, and it’s easy to see that the Latino rock band is ahead of the curve. With a spectacular light show to convey the true, meaningful messages of their music Mana delivers an all-out assault on the audience’s emotions. Mana added 16 1200-Watt VL3000 Spot luminaires to the automated lighting rig, which already consisted of 28 VL2000 Wash luminaires and 16 VL2000 Spot units. Mana uses only the best equipment, and Vari-Lite is the best name in automated lighting. Production manager Javier Barba says the desire to own and use Vari-Lite luminaires goes even deeper than the ability of the fixtures themselves. The VARIkLITE fixtures are a status symbol of prestige. After one demo of the Series 3000 fixtures, Barba was blown away by the intensity and smooth movement of the fixtures. The VL3000 luminaires allow designers to do things that they just can’t do with any other light. When the VL3000 Spot luminaires were added to the lighting rig, the show changed completely. Some lights hit the market and stay. The Series 3000 fixtures are here to stay. The lights have everything an LD needs. In a very short time, the VL3000 luminaires have quickly become the worldwide standard by which all other lights are measured. The Philadelphia Convention and Visitor Bureau’s annual luncheon at the Pennsylvania Convention Center is the city’s largest hospitality event of the year. The lighting rig, which included 12 VL1000TS luminaires and two VL3000 Spot luminaires, provided lighting designer Jason Showers with a great degree of flexibility and allowed him to overcome various venue/space obstacles with minimal effort. Ten of the VL1000 units were used for scenic lighting. The other two were used as FOH audience specials – key lighting for video. Using custom gobos in five of the VL1000TS fixtures, Showers projected theme words of the event onto five gray scenic flats onstage. • Rotating gobo wheel with five rotatable, indexable gobo positions • Automated framing shutters (shutter models) • Mechanical iris (iris models) • Internal silent IGBT electronic dimmer (dimmer models) • Low noise fans provide on-demand cooling during extreme operating conditions The PCVB wanted to rotate the key words and bring them up at different times, coinciding with certain moments during the presentations. The indexing was critical for all of the words to line up vertically, which they did without fail. The incredible zoom range of the fixtures made sizing the words evenly a simple task. With the other five VL1000 units, Showers washed the scenic flats with various saturated colors to provide a cohesive look with what was happening on the cyc upstage. The fixtures’ shutters enabled Showers to accurately frame the scenic pieces and not spill upstage. The excellent zoom enabled Showers to cover the entire 12-foot flat with a very short, steep throw distance. He couldn't have accomplished such a clean look with any other fixture.
