The Vari-Lite VL550 Wash and VL550D Wash are Series 500 wash moving head luminaires designed for a wide range of applications, with the VL550D Wash incorporating a Tungsten light source and integral IGBT dimmer. The patented DICHROTUNE radial colour mixing system uses three sets of 16 radially mounted dichroic blades in magenta, blue and amber to produce smooth, full-spectrum colour cross-fades, with pastel versions also available for a softer theatrical palette. Sixteen radially mounted diffuser planes control beam spread, and six interchangeable lens options include clear, stipple, 8-row, 10-row, 12-row and Buxom. Natural convection cooled lamps and low-noise internally cooled electronics keep operation quiet, with two on-demand yoke-mounted fans activating only when ambient temperature exceeds 41°C or the fixture is in a horizontal position. DMX512 input requires no additional outboard equipment, and an on-board backlit invertible LCD display simplifies setup and control.
