Overview
The Spotlight Vedette 2500W Manual and Motorised Dimming Shutters with DMX Control are professional intensity control accessories designed for the Vedette 2500W followspot system. These shutters provide precise beam blackout and smooth light intensity adjustment, essential for live theatre, concerts, and broadcast productions.
Available in both manual and DMX-controlled motorised versions, this system allows operators to either physically control light output directly from the followspot or integrate the fixture into a fully programmable lighting console setup. This dual approach offers maximum flexibility for different production workflows, from traditional operator-driven theatre to modern DMX-controlled environments.
The mechanical dimming shutter works by physically shaping and reducing the light beam, enabling smooth fades, blackouts, and cue transitions without affecting colour temperature or beam quality. The DMX-controlled version allows remote operation, making it ideal for complex productions where lighting cues must be synchronised across multiple fixtures.
Designed specifically for the Vedette followspot range, this accessory integrates seamlessly with the fixture’s control system and ergonomic layout.
