VL2416™ Wash
luminaire
The VARI❋LITE®VL2416™Wash
luminaire is based on the Emmy
™
Award winning VL5™luminaire design.
This powerful luminaire uses a 1200W
arc lamp and comes standard with a
zoomable beam spreading mechanism.
An optional collimator/counterweight is
available for applications requiring a
fixed, collimated beam.
The innovative DICHRO
❋TUNE
™
radial color changer employs
enhanced dichroic color filters to
produce smooth, full spectrum
color crossfades. An internal douser
provides intensity control and strobing.
The VL2416 luminaire features an
upper enclosure that houses the
control electronics as well as a power
factor corrected arc power supply.
The VL2416 luminaire can be controlled
from a wide variety of DMX-512
consoles.
Programmable
Functions
Color: The DICHRO❋TUNE™radial color changing mechanism features
independent cyan, yellow and magenta color control. Smooth,
timed color crossfades can occur in as little as 0.35 seconds.
Intensity Control: An internal douser provides intensity control.
Beam Size Control: Zoomable beam spreader mechanism. Provides 5˚ to 55˚ field
in less than 1.2 seconds.
Rotating Lens: Rotatable, indexable front lens assembly. Accepts standard
PAR 64 cover lens. Rotation speed is up to 14 RPM.
Pan & Tilt: Smooth, time-controlled continuous motion by way of a
three-phase stepper motor system.
Range: Pan - 540˚, Tilt - 270˚.
Accuracy: 0.3˚ resolution.

Specifications
The unit is an integrally designed, remote-controlled, motorized wash luminaire. The head, yoke and
enclosure housings are constructed of aluminum alloy and steel for lightweight strength and durability.
Virtually silent fans provide forced-air cooling for internal components. The rear cap is hinged,
providing easy access to the lamp for replacement.
A single AC input cable along with two, five-pin DMX-512 compatible connectors (in and through) are
provided. The unit can be controlled by any VARI
❋LITE console or a wide variety of DMX-512 consoles. In
addition, a built-in Master/Slave function enables operation of multiple luminaires without a control console.
Each unit is equipped with multiple on-board processors providing diagnostic and self-calibration
functions as well as internal test routines and software update capabilities.
The unit contains two independent three-phase stepper motors to provide movement of the head
through 540° in the horizontal plane (pan) and 270° in the vertical plane (tilt). The pan and tilt
mechanisms are belt-driven, providing positional resolution and repeatability of 0.3° on either axis.
Three radial color changers holding 16 panels of dichroic media of a typical color set: cyan, yellow and
magenta enable full spectrum color changes. Three motors provide independent drive of each color
set. Positional accuracy of the dichroic filters with respect to the beam is ensured through specialized
motor control software. The color changers are capable of movement from fully open to fully closed in
less than 0.35 seconds.
The unit contains a dimmer/strobe mechanism holding 16 black, aluminum dimmer panels that
intercept the beam to provide a continuously variable dimming range. The dimmer/strobe mechanism
is capable of movement from fully open to fully closed in less than 0.10 seconds and provides a
dimmable strobe rate of up to 6Hz.
The front lens is user replaceable and configured with a continuously rotatable, indexable mechanism.
The unit is ETL and ETLc certified and CE-marked. Exterior finish is black.
