VARI❋LITE® - <strong>VL2500</strong> SPOT LUMINAIRE USER’S MANUAL<br />
Color/Gobo Control<br />
The <strong>VL2500</strong> <strong>Spot</strong> Luminaire’s color system is composed of a CYM color mixing mechanism and a<br />
fixed color wheel. The following sections describe these components.<br />
CYM Crossfade Color Mixing and Dimmer<br />
The color mixing mechanism is made up of three graduated color disks: Cyan, Yellow, and Magenta<br />
(CYM). These disks provide full-spectrum color crossfades from pastel to saturated colors. Also<br />
included on the color mixing bulkhead is a graduated glass dimmer wheel for smooth time-controlled<br />
fades from full light output to absolute black.<br />

Color/Gobo Wheel Positions<br />
The standard configurations for color and fixed gobo wheels<br />
are: all color filters installed on Wheel 1 (wheel nearest lamp)<br />
and all gobos installed on Wheel 2 (wheel nearer to front lens).<br />
These wheels each have 12 positions, one being open.<br />
All rotating gobos are installed on the Rotating Gobo Wheel<br />
(nearest to front lens). This wheel has six positions, one being<br />
open.<br />
Color and gobo wheels offer partial frame control and various<br />
spin rates in either direction.<br />
NOTE: <strong>User</strong>s of VARI❋LITE luminaires should not install or<br />
use metal gobos. The use of metal gobos in any VARI❋LITE<br />
product may damage the luminaire and could void the<br />
luminaire’s warranty.<br />
