Vari-Lite VL2600 SE Wash - 570W 8000K LED Moving Head Wash with 12 to 63-Degree Zoom and Color Wheel in White Finish

The Vari-Lite VL2600 SE Wash is a versatile and high-performance LED moving head wash fixture, designed to meet the demanding needs of the most dynamic environments, including tours, theatrical productions, television sets, and house of worship installations. This upgraded workhorse features a 570W light engine that produces an impressive 27,500 lumens of output, making it one of the brightest fixtures in its class. Offering excellent light quality with a flat, even beam, the VL2600 SE Wash provides designers with the perfect light for any performance, whether for wide coverage or precise wash effects.

The VL2600 SE Wash incorporates a wide zoom range of 12° to 63°, allowing for flexible beam control, from tight, pin-point beams to broad, wide washes. This motorized 16-bit zoom system ensures smooth transitions across the zoom range, making it ideal for various lighting applications. Additionally, the adjustable beam edge softness lets designers choose between a Fresnel or pebble convex (PC) lens to achieve the desired wash look, providing further versatility to adapt to any lighting situation. The integrated framing system also allows for precise light shaping and control, while the automated barn door system helps refine the edges of the beam, ensuring clean, controlled projections every time.

Designed for maximum color flexibility, the VL2600 SE Wash features a CMY color mixing system and a 7-color fixed color wheel. The combination of these features gives designers a broad color palette to work with, from rich, saturated colors to softer pastels. The variable CTO function, which adjusts the color temperature from 7200K to 3200K, provides further color temperature control, making this fixture suitable for a wide range of lighting designs. The color mixing system is complemented by effects such as color wheel spin, split colors, and shake effects, which add dynamic movement and interest to the wash.

The VL2600 SE Wash also includes several additional professional features, such as a 4-blade full-wipe framing shutter system with +/-90° rotation, allowing for precise framing and shaping of the beam. The fixture's motorized 16-bit focus system ensures sharp, crisp images throughout the zoom range, while the 3-facet rotating prism offers additional effects for dynamic light manipulation. Additionally, the fixture is equipped with a motorized 16-leaf iris, which provides adjustable beam size and an iris pulse effect, further enhancing creative possibilities for designers.

Built with a robust aluminum and steel construction, the VL2600 SE Wash is designed for durability and longevity. It is IP20 rated, ensuring protection against dust and debris, and features a hybrid cooling system that combines sealed liquid and forced air for effective heat management. The fixture operates quietly with multiple fan control modes, including Standard, Studio, and Silent, providing a low-noise experience for environments where sound control is critical. Its compact design, weighing only 67 lbs, makes it easy to integrate into existing rigs for both large-scale productions and smaller installations.

For seamless integration into various setups, the VL2600 SE Wash supports both DMX and ArtNet protocols, with multiple DMX modes available for flexible control. The fixture also features advanced manual and local control options for quick adjustments during operation. With its outstanding performance, creative flexibility, and user-friendly features, the VL2600 SE Wash is the ideal fixture for any production that demands high-quality lighting with precision and versatility.
