The VL 1100 LEDHP is an alternative to a traditional arc source in a moving light head. The unique LED engine delivers high CRI output and a consistent color temperature. The innovative hybrid cooling system creates a strong balance between light output and noise.
- Color reproduction consistent with the traditional VL1100 Arc source fixture
- Hybrid liquid / forced air cooling system
- Superzoom angle to 70 degrees
- Continuous variable zoom range from 19 – 36 degrees.
Last year, the VL6000 Beam, was a concept in the demo room. This year, the market-leading mid-air effects fixture took pride of place in the booth, receiving an immense reception. A large 14” front aperture – using a new exclusive Philips ellipsoid reflector array system – produces a retro style searchlight effect, with a high output tight collimated shaft of light at 6.5°, which exceeds 55,000 lumens.
The VL6000 Beam ultimately went on to win PLSN’s “Best New Beam Fixture 2017” award.
