Proudly built in the USA, and as the next generation of the VL1000 ERS luminaire, all models of the VL1100 luminaire have a new 50 kHz. drive system that quiets the operation of all two-phase motors in the fixtures during movement and while in static positions. They also have new, three-phase, ultra quiet stepper motors that provide a smooth, timed continuous pan and tilt motion. Additionally, a new central bearing system in the gobo wheel reduces noise and ensures smooth operation. This luminaire is available in either an arc or tungsten models.

Automated functions include CYM color mixing, rotating gobos, variable diffusion, and a zoom lens that ranges from 19 degrees to 36 degrees for normal imaging and a super zoom function that ranges to 70 degrees. The VL1100AS delivers more than 15,000 lumens with the higher color temperature of the 575 watt arc source and also includes a mechanical dimmer and a truss mounted, fanless ballast.

The automated, four-blade shutter mechanism that provides control of all shutter functions popular in conventional ellipsoidal reflector spotlights.
