- Assertion
- Vari-Lite's first automated luminaire grew from a fall 1980 suggestion by Showco partner Jack Maxson to add motors so a fixture would move, and premiered on September 25, 1981, in Barcelona on Genesis's ABACAB tour; the VL1 had three colour wheels and one gobo wheel giving sixty colour combinations, plus pan, tilt and dimming.
- Quote
Add two more motors and it moves.
