Vari-Lite VL1600 Profile - 600W 5200K LED Moving Head Profile with 7 to 48-Degree Zoom and Color/Gobo Wheels in White Finish

The Vari-Lite VL1600 PROFILE is a high-performance 600W LED moving head profile fixture designed for precise key lighting and special effects in demanding theater, studio, and live production environments. Featuring a tunable white LED source, the VL1600 PROFILE provides unmatched color versatility, allowing designers to achieve both warm and cool light with exceptional CRI (Color Rendering Index) for accurate and vibrant color reproduction. This versatility is further enhanced by the fixture's CMY color mixing system, offering a wide spectrum from subtle pastels to bold saturated colors. With a zoom range from 7° to 48° and advanced imaging features, this fixture is perfect for creating sharp beams, soft washes, and dynamic effects for a wide variety of applications.

One of the standout features of the VL1600 PROFILE is its innovative Vari*frost system, which provides seamless graduated frost effects without the need for filters or changing glass. This system can be remotely controlled to adjust from soft edge softening to full wash diffusion, making it a flexible solution for different lighting requirements. The fixture also includes four framing shutters that allow for precise image shaping, which is essential for theatrical productions where accuracy is paramount.

The VL1600 PROFILE incorporates the exclusive VL*FX animation wheel, designed specifically for theater applications, and features dynamic effects such as fire, water, and earth tones. The rotating gobo wheel with 7 gobos plus open, along with the VL*FX animation wheel, provides countless possibilities for creating immersive, creative lighting effects. Additionally, the fixture's iris, with 16 leaves, offers adjustable control over the beam's shape and size.

Designed with precision, the VL1600 PROFILE includes the V*Track Calibration System, which helps minimize unwanted movement during the calibration process, reducing start-up time and preventing potential damage to the rig or set objects. The fixture also includes multiple fan modes, including silent modes, allowing for quiet operation in sensitive environments like broadcast studios or theaters.

With a maximum output of 33,000 lumens, the VL1600 PROFILE offers powerful output, providing a crisp, bright beam at long distances. Its motorized 16-bit zoom control and V*Track focus system ensure smooth operation across the full zoom range, from sharp beams to wide washes. The fixture is also camera-friendly, with adjustable frequency to minimize flicker for IMAG and televised events.

Ready for touring and installation, the VL1600 PROFILE is designed with a rugged aluminum and steel construction and features a sleek black or white finish. It is fully certified with CE, ETL, UL, FCC CSA, and RoHS, ensuring compliance with safety standards for worldwide use.
