The VARJ*LITE ® YL6"' spot
luminaire uses the Philips MSR
short arc lamp in a cold mirror reflector.
The luminaire is small, lightweight, and
virtually silent.
Two wheels for interchangeable
dichroic color and gobo selections , and
three available lenses make the luminaire
completely user-configurable . The VL6
supports a wide variety of "rental
access" colors and gobos. "Purchase only"
and custom gobos are also available.
The VL6 luminaire can be controlled
from any
controlled from a wide variety of DMX
consoles.

Specifications
The unit shall be an integrally designed, remote controlled motorized spot
luminaire. The housing and yoke shall be constructed of aluminum alloy and
steel for lightweight strength and shall be forced-air cooled using two virtually
silent fans. The rear lamp cap shall be removable, providing ease of access to the
lamp for replacement and beam field adjustment.
·
Two enclosed, high torque servomotors shall be provided to permit
movement of the head on a horizontal plane of 360° and on a vertical plane of
270°. Control cabling shall be run internally to prevent tangling. The low voltage
motors shall be belt driven, providing positional resolution and repeatability of
0.3' on either axis. Manual override under power shall result in no harm to the
drive mechanism.
Each unit shall be equipped with an on-board microprocessor providing
diagnostic and self-calibration functions. In the event the luminaire encounters
any physical obstruction during calibration, the pan and tilt motors will
automatically be disabled preventing damage to the mechanisms.
The unit shall contain two rotating, easily removable filter wheels. Each
wheel shall be capable of holding up to eleven, easily changeable, user-selectable
dichroic color or gobo choices. Gobos shall be easily removable from unit,
without the need to power down or lower the lighting system. Two motors
provide independent drive regardless of direction of movement. Positional accuracy
of the filter frame in reference to the beam shall be ensured by the microprocessor, which maintains count of both stepper motors and optical sensors
that defines the open white positions. Wheels may also spin continuously.
The unit shall contain an aluminum bladed dimmer mechanism that
provides full field dimming and allows for smooth timed fades and fast blackouts.
A mechanical iris shall provide continuous beam size control for both rapid
changes and smooth timed beam angle changes. Variable beam focus shall be
provided to soften edges of gobos or spots and provide gobo crossfades. Three
easily removable lenses shall be available for luminaire: narrow field of view
(NFOV), medium field (MFOV), and wide-field (WFOV) lens.
Control cable to luminaire shall provide both digital control signal and power
from power supply box. A safety cable shall be provided with unit, and a floor
stand shall be available. Exterior finish shall be black epoxy coat. Total weight
shall not exceed 22 lbs (10 kg). The unit shall be UL and C-UL listed and
GE-marked.
