Dallas, TX USA – Vari-Lite, the originators of the modern moving head light fixture and Signify (Euronext: LIGHT) entertainment lighting brand, is today announcing the new VL600 Acclaim+ Series of theatrical luminaires. The new luminaires, which include a Fresnel and an ellipsoidal profile light engine, offers the same core capabilities as Vari-Lite’s popular VL600 Acclaim Series line, but with more output and features for larger venues.

“The VL600 Acclaim Series has been a popular family of theatrical luminaries since their launch,” says Martin Palmer, Vari-Lite Marketing and Product Management Leader at Signify. “With a multichromatic RGBL color mixing system, excellent light quality, and industry-leading output, the fixtures are perfect for small to medium sized theatres and houses of worship. The new VL600 Acclaim+ Series expands the range, increasing the output and adding features to meet the needs of larger spaces.”
Both the VL600 Acclaim Fresnel+ and the VL600 Acclaim PLE+ share the same RGBL color mixing system as the existing Acclaim Series fixtures, but with a 305W LED engine for over 15,000 lumens of output. The fixtures also include onboard Ethercon connectivity for direct control via sACN or Art.Net without a separate DMX gateway.
The VL600 Acclaim PLE+ works with Vari-Lite’s wide range of fixed and zoom lens tubes and includes an onboard four-blade manual shutter system, for superior control to shape the light how you want it. Similarly, the VL600 Acclaim Fresnel+ allows designers to achieve dramatic highlighting capabilities thanks to the large 8” front lens and an adjustable 10° to 50° motorized zoom that provides both DMX-controlled and manual adjustment with minimal light scatter.
“The VL600 Acclaim Series is part of a complete solution for theatrical lighting applications, and the new Acclaim+ Series ensures that solution is also available to larger applications,” explains Palmer. “When combined with our recently launched RigSwitch+ Series power platform and our FLX S Series or Neo X Series consoles, consultants have a full integrated system for entertainment lighting installations of any size.”
The VL600 Acclaim+ Series will be showing at LDI 2024 in Las Vegas, NV, USA, and is expected to ship in the first quarter of 2025.
