Vari-Lite VL2600 SE Profile - 570W 8000K LED Moving Head Profile with 7 to 48-Degree Zoom and Color/Gobo Wheels in Black Finish

The Vari-Lite VL2600 SE Profile is the latest evolution of Vari-Lite's renowned profile fixture, designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional lighting designers in touring, theatrical productions, and studio applications. Powered by a 570W LED engine, the VL2600 SE Profile delivers a stunning 23,750 lumens of output, making it one of the brightest fixtures in its class. This versatile moving head profile fixture offers a wide color palette, from rich saturated hues to soft pastels, thanks to the advanced CMY color mixing system and variable CTO (color temperature orange) adjustment. Whether you're lighting a stage, creating visual effects, or enhancing your production, the VL2600 SE Profile provides unmatched performance with exceptional light quality, a flat, even beam, and a broad zoom range of 7° to 48°.

Designed for precision, the VL2600 SE Profile includes a 4-blade full wipe framing shutter system with +/-45° rotation, ensuring accurate framing and shaping of light projections. The fixture is equipped with two gobo wheels: one rotating and indexable, and one fixed. This combination provides endless creative possibilities for gobo effects such as twists, shakes, and spinning, making it ideal for a wide range of visual effects, from sharp beams to atmospheric washes. Additionally, the VL2600 SE Profile includes a 3-facet rotating prism for even more dynamic effects, along with a motorized iris with 16 leaves for adjustable beam control, allowing designers to manipulate the beam size and shape to suit the needs of any performance.

The VL2600 SE Profile excels in its ability to produce high-quality, consistent light, with a CRI of 74, ensuring accurate color rendering for a wide range of applications. Its ability to adjust from a cool 7200K to a warm 3200K, coupled with a variable CTO, allows for precise color temperature control, making it suitable for both theatrical and live events. The fixture's lens size of 7 inches and motorized 16-bit zoom control ensure smooth transitions across the zoom range, whether you need a narrow beam for precise key lighting or a wide wash for stage coverage.

For added convenience, the VL2600 SE Profile includes the unique V*Track Calibration system, which minimizes movement during calibration and reduces the risk of damage to the fixture and surrounding rigging. This system ensures quicker calibration and greater stability, saving valuable setup time. Additionally, the VL2600 SE Profile offers multiple fan modes (Standard, Studio, Silent) to accommodate noise-sensitive environments, and it operates at a low noise level in Studio and Silent modes.

Built to last, the VL2600 SE Profile features a robust aluminum and steel construction, ensuring durability even in the toughest touring conditions. The fixture is also IP20 rated, providing protection against dust and debris, and is available in black or white finishes to match any production environment. Its compact design and lightweight structure (70 lbs) make it easy to transport and rig, while its multiple mounting options and safety features ensure seamless integration into any rig.

With its exceptional brightness, flexible color and gobo systems, precise framing, and user-friendly features, the Vari-Lite VL2600 SE Profile is the ideal choice for lighting designers seeking a reliable, high-performance moving head fixture that can deliver stunning effects and consistent performance in a variety of professional environments.
