Notable features include dual opposing color wheels for infinite CMY crossfading. When working with the VL6000 Beam light, you can apply an offsett to match the two fixtures to the same color output, no matter what color you select. Please note that this unit requires a minimum of 200 VAC, which means in the USA, you will need to provide it 208 VAC, as the light will not run on a standard USA 120 VAC power source. The fixture comes fitted with 5-pin XLR inputs and outputs for DMX/RD and has a built-in PowerCon True 1 connector. It does not include a power cord.

The fixture is sleekly designed and well suited for shows, expos, and premiers to bring attention to your display or event.
The light fixture requires 208 VAC to run in the US, and it will not run from a standard 120 VAC US power outlet.
