About the Vari-Lite VL3015LT Spot
The Vari-Lite VL3015LT Spot is a spot moving head luminaire producing 42,000 lumens through a 13-element 10:1 zoom optics system covering 6° to 60°. Its colour system comprises six wheels in total: a CYM cross-fading system, two five-position fixed colour wheels capable of continuous rotation, and a variable CTO correction wheel. Three gobo and effects wheels each offer four rotatable, indexable positions plus one open position, with variable edge focus and depth-of-field morphing between pattern wheels. A mechanical iris provides continuous beam size control, while a dual-blade ultra-fast strobe, independent rotating 3-facet prism and variable frost glass add further effects capability. Pan covers 540° and tilt 270°, both driven by three-phase stepper motors at 0.3° resolution. A followspot mode is included, with an optional followspot handle. The unit weighs 115 lbs (52.3 kg).
Vari-Lite VL3015LT Spot — buyer FAQs
What is the Vari-Lite VL3015LT Spot and what output does it deliver?
The Vari-Lite VL3015LT Spot is a spot moving head luminaire producing 42,000 lumens through a 13-element 10:1 zoom optics system that covers a range of 6° to 60°. It includes three rotating gobo and effects wheels, a six-wheel colour system with CYM cross-fading, two fixed colour wheels and a variable CTO correction wheel, plus a followspot mode for additional application flexibility.
What does the VL3015LT Spot's colour system include?
The VL3015LT Spot uses six colour control wheels in total. These comprise a three-filter CYM cross-fading system, two five-position fixed colour wheels each capable of continuous rotation for additional effects, and a variable CTO colour temperature correction wheel. This combination allows a wide range of colour mixing, fixed colour selection and warm-to-cool temperature shifts within a single fixture.
How precise is the pan and tilt movement on the VL3015LT Spot?
Pan covers 540° and tilt covers 270°, both driven by three-phase stepper motor systems offering smooth, time-controlled continuous motion. Resolution is 0.3°, providing fine positional accuracy. A mechanical iris gives continuous beam size control for rapid, smooth beam angle changes, and full-field dimming supports both slow timed fades and quick intensity effects.
Who makes the VL3015LT Spot and where does it sit in the lighting market?
The VL3015LT Spot is made by Vari-Lite, an American entertainment lighting brand established in 1981 and credited with developing the first modern automated moving light. Now owned by Signify, Vari-Lite produces moving heads for concert touring, theatre and large-scale events. The VL3015LT Spot sits at the high-output end of the range, reflecting the brand's focus on demanding professional applications.
What should I check when buying a used Vari-Lite VL3015LT Spot?
On a used VL3015LT Spot, verify that all three gobo wheels rotate and index correctly, the iris and dual-blade strobe operate smoothly, and the 3-facet prism and variable frost glass move independently as specified. Check the pan and tilt drives for consistent motion across their full ranges, and confirm the followspot mode functions.
