"We are very excited about the launch of the VL4000 BeamWash luminaire," said Julie Smith, General Manager of the Americas. "As the next fixture in the VL4000 range, no other luminaire comes close to its combined functionality and amazing feature set. With its incredible point-of-source imagery through a 10 inch front lens, VL4000 BeamWash is the perfect luminaire for wash, beam, and shaft looks on any stage."
When used in Wash mode, the luminaire provides a remarkably even wash of intense light with variable hot spot/edge control. The 10 to 60 degree zoom range allows for a broad range of usage, while the indexable and rotating beam shaping alters the output from round to elliptical. The hot spot and edge of the wash output can be further adjusted with ease from any DMX lighting console.
By simply adjusting a DMX value, the VL4000 BeamWash shifts from a soft wash to an intense Beam luminaire with an amazing 4 to 40 degree beam angle. A multitude of images are available from two, seven position gobo wheels and a variable animation wheel. A high speed mechanical iris and an independent 5-facet rotating step prism further add to the graphical abilities whether used to create stunning aerials or exciting projections.
