The American manufacturer has been at the forefront of automated moving lights since developing the technology in the early 80's and produces an innovative line-up of intelligent spot and wash models.

Under the agreement Vari-Lite will benefit from A.C. Lighting's position as a leading 'one-stop-shop' for entertainment technology products and services. The deal sees A.C. act as reseller for Vari-Lite's full range of luminaires, including Series 1000 Arc ERS and Tungsten ERS models, Series 2000 spot and wash models and Series 3000 Q models.

Philip Norfolk, Regional Sales Manager for Vari-Lite European Distributor VLPS, commented: "VLPS are delighted to have A.C. Lighting as an approved dealer for the Vari-Lite range of moving lights. Their unique client base and excellent service levels make them a natural addition to Vari-Lite's UK distribution.".
