Philips Vari-Lite’s 1200W VL4000 Spot and the 1500W VL4000GT Spot promise to combine high lumen output (25K and 35K, respectively) with low ambient noise (thanks to a new cooling system design) and impressive, high resolution optics (said to optimize center-to-edge focusing and deliver an unprecedented contrast ratio).

Philips Vari-Lite is proud to introduce the new VL4000 Spot and VL4000GT Spot luminaires. As the next generation of Vari-Lite luminaires designed specifically to provide designers, rental companies, venues and productions with unlimited possibilities without compromises, the 1200W VL4000 Spot and the 1500W VL4000GT Spot are complete with low ambient noise, high lumen output, and amazing optics.
“With the new VL4000 Spot and VL4000GT Spot luminaires anything is now possible as we have packed in all the features designers expect into each profile luminaire,” said Brad Schiller, Philips Vari-Lite Product Marketing Manager. “Series 4000 luminaires offer more features, greater output and newer technologies without compromising on any level, giving designers and technicians worldwide the functionality and power needed to light any stage and any production.”
As every aspect of the Series 4000 luminaires has been designed with performance in mind, the 1200W VL4000 Spot boasts 25,000 lumens and the 1500W VL4000GT Spot produces 35,000 lumens of output. Both luminaires feature a new cooling system that quietly draws air into the fixtures while their high resolution optics ensure remarkable center-to-edge focusing and an unprecedented contrast ratio.
Both the VL4000 Spot and VL4000 GT Spot also include a 5:1 zoom which covers an amazing 9-44 degrees without sacrificing output or clarity, plus Vari-Lite engineers have designed the entirely new Infinity color system that provides CYM color mixing, variable CTO color temperature correction and dual five-position color wheels. As a result, both luminaires have incredibly smooth color mixing whether operating in a slow fade or instant snap, plus the dual opposing fixed color wheels also achieve unique color effects, providing a multitude of multi-color combinations.
For image and beam control, series 4000 luminaires feature dual rotating gobo wheels with a remarkable new collection of optimized gobo patterns ideal for both aerial and projected imagery, while their dual animation wheels provide dynamic motion effects as well as the chromatically tuned Dichro*Fusion effect. Beams can be further modified via the precise four blade shutter system and mechanical iris. An independent prism with divergence control and variable frost are also implemented into each luminaire.
To make the VL4000 Spot and VL4000GT Spot even more appealing, both contain unbelievably smooth dimming flags which when combined with independent shutter blades deliver unmatched dimming and strobing abilities. Both luminaires also contain new and innovative electronics infrastructures and luminaire software to outperform the competition, while their battery-backed, full color LCD display is designed to be intuitive and easy-to-use, and new multi-point connections allow them to be hung at any angle.
