Pages 17-18 Product Information

Since introducing the modern automated thir ty years ago,

Philips Vari-Lite has produced the most innovative spot and wash

luminaires available. In fact, we develop luminaires so powerful,

they provide more than just light. They’ve become a way to express

your imagination; a way to make your vision a reality.

We draw from our years of experience to produce technologically

advanced, eco-friendly and high performance tools for expressing your

creativity, and it is our “technical creative soul” that has kept Philips

Vari-Lite at the forefront of the automated lighting industry since

1981. The company was founded on the belief that creative engineering

can join with creative lighting to bring a new dimension to any

performance or presentation.

That notion first took root in the late ‘70s when engineers developed

a color changing light fixture using dichroic filters and later added two

motors to make the light move as well. Genesis wowed the world with

the first VARI*LITE Series 100 system consisting of 50 VL1 luminaires on

the opening night of their “Abacab” tour on September 25, 1981, and it

was also the “Genesis” of Vari-Lite the company.

Inspired by the magic of moving light and changing color, Vari-Lite set

about creating complete lighting systems that add both subtle nuance

and brilliant spectacle to any event. In November 2002, Vari-Lite was

purchased by the Genlyte Thomas Group LLC, and in November 2007,

Royal Philips Electronics purchased the Genlyte Group, along with

Vari-Lite, creating Philips Vari-Lite.

Today, Philips Vari-Lite continues to lead the world in automated lighting

technology while drawing upon the vast resources of Royal Philips

Electronics to develop even more pioneering products with an

unrivaled reputation. Lighting designers across the globe use VARI*LITE

automated luminaires in concert touring, theatre, television, motion

pictures, corporate shows, cruise ships and advertising for one distinct

reason – Philips Vari-Lite allows you to Express Yourself.

The VARI*LITE VL550 Wash luminaire is based upon the Emmy® Award-winning VL5 Wash luminaire, but with significant design improvements, including a 50 kHz. drive system that quiets the operation of all two-phase motors in the fixture during move-ment and while in static positions. This multi-faceted luminaire is available in two models: the VL550 and VL550D. Plus, as an option, both models are available with pastel versions of the standard colors. The pastel colors offer a softer, “Broadway-type” color palette often used in live theater. In all models, the innovative DICHRO*TUNE radial color mixing system employs three sets of 16 radially mounted dichroic filters - magenta, blue, and amber – designed to produce smooth, full spectrum color cross-fades. All models are designed with natural convection cooled lamps and internally cooled electronics which utilize on-demand low velocity, low noise micro-fans.

VL550 Wash Luminaire: The most economical and lightweight version of the luminaire, the VL550 offers the warm 3200-degree color temperature of the tungsten lamp source, along with weight and space efficiency.

VL550D Wash Luminaire: This luminaire is most advantageous for those whose productions have a limited number of dimmer circuits available. It retains a warm 3200 degree color temperature, and with only a slight increase in weight, provides onboard IGBT dimming without requiring any additional cabling.
