jamed2017 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hey folks, I recently saw these 2 bands play, they both used these moving head sort of wash lights, The only way I can describe them is like a dish, they had colour changers .etc, I wish my desciption could be somewhat better. They can be seen on www.fbrplus.com on the panic at the disco live video. Just wondering what they are and whether anyone rates them?

RobOwen Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Look like Vari-Lite VL5s/VL500s, and yes they are tremendously rated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartsl Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 do you mean the colour commands all over the stage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac500 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 They look like VL5/500's to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamtastic3 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Even if I've had no expereince with these movers, they are definetely VL 500's. The dot in the middle is a clear indicator, as is the rim of light spill at the back of the unit. http://www.elslights.com/company/VL500_T.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhuson Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 They look like VL5/500's to me. Same here, snouts are too long for Color Commands. The dot in the middle is a clear indicator, as is the rim of light spill at the back of the unit. To be fair the Color Commands also have a similar dot in the middle, see here. But your right the riing of spill at the back is a dead give away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartsl Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I will review the footage, which video shows them best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamtastic3 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I will review the footage, which video shows them best? I just watched the first one from the link. There's a few shots before there isn't any full lighting on stage where you can make out the ring spills on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobOwen Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I don't think they ever moved, which was a bit of a red-herring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niclights Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Yep. Look like VL500's - head is too long for the High-End units. VL spots being used too. Unusual show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryson Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 To save people viewing the videos: http://bryson.albassamtheatre.com//ZZ260705C2.jpg http://bryson.albassamtheatre.com//ZZ50EDF16B.jpg Yep, VL500s almost certainly. Possibly aging VL5s, but I doubt it. I used to love my VL5s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
