Vari-Lite promotes sustainability with higher output VL2600 Series light engine upgrade

LightSoundJournal.com: Vari-Lite, the Signify (Euronext: LIGHT) entertainment lighting brand and originators of the modern moving head light fixture, today announced a new, higher output light engine upgrade for their workhorse VL2600 Series fixtures. The light engine upgrade provides significantly higher output to the popular line of moving head luminaires while aligning with Signify’s commitment to sustainability by promoting circular economy, minimizing waste by extending the existing product lifecycle rather than making iterative new versions, for a positive impact on the environment and society.

This is actually a very big relief to me both through a professional as well as an environmentally conscious perspective. A few years ago there was a big fight in Europe as to the environmental impact of theatrical lighting fixtures and they tried to get a large portion of fixtures that are very important to the industry banned due to how much energy they require to run. It was not passed but just the introduction of a bill like that made me a little bit twitchy. I do understand that the majority of theatrical lighting equipment is not exactly the most power conscious but theatre is such a niche field, I sincerely doubt that the regulation of it is going to have a substantial effect on the environment. But thanks to the new Vari Lite sustainability goals that is going to start to become a much less pressing issue and threat to the industry.
