S p o t
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.
