PL+S 2018: Philips Vari-Lite launches LED effects unit
- Details
A linear strip moving light with 12 RGBW LED emitters, the VL800 BeamLine features a newly-developed optical system which provides a bright, collimated and elongated beam of light, adding extra depth and dimension to lighting designs. Adding further to the dynamic effects possibilities is the option for pixel-mapping control across three zones or, in full pixel mode, across each of its 12 LED emitters individually, allowing for the integration of video into a performance.
Compact and lightweight to meet the demands of today’s show lighting environments, it has been designed from the ground up to maximize performance, reliability and ease of maintenance. At the same time, its highly competitive price point offers rental customers a faster and higher return on investment.
Martin Palmer, product manager for Philips Entertainment Lighting, says, “The VL800 BeamLine is a result of our commitment to meet the need of designers for a truly unique and versatile lighting effects. Its unique optical system produces a flat sheet of light which, matched with its colour, movement and pixel-mapping capabilities, make it a really distinctive yet flexible fixture, able to produce a broad variety of looks. We believe it will really blossom in the hands of lighting designers in all kinds of show lighting environments, from concert touring and corporate event productions to televised light entertainment shows.”
