If you liked the Vari-Lite VL3500 Spot fixture, then you will love the VL3600 Profile IP. It’s smaller and brighter than the 3500, and it’s IP-rated, which
seems to be the hot commodity in the entertainment lighting industry today.
The Vari-Lite VL3600 Profile IP is an automated moving yoke lighting fixture
that features a 1000W white light LED engine that, according to the manufacturer produces 85,000 source lumens. The VL3500 was launched in 2012, and now – almost 11 years later – the VL3600 Profile IP forgoes the 1200W short arc lamp and uses a 1000W white light LED engine with more than double the light output. According to the specs, the VL3600 Profile IP outputs 45,000 lumens (or 36,000 lumens with a boosted CRI) compared to
about 20,000 lumens by the VL3500 Spot.
