I take it you are really talking about the VL1000, or VL1000TSD (tungsten, shutters, onboard
dimmer) if you wanna be picky?
And to answer your question, yes it is an amazing fixture for
theatre use, runs circles around S4 Revolutions at about the same cost. I used 8 of them on a production of Urine Town last year and even peter sargent was really impressed by them. Great fixtures all around!
