This refers to an individual or entity that provides components specifically for the Vari-Lite VL3500 Wash moving head fixture. These components are typically sourced from used or decommissioned units, effectively giving the “doner” fixture a second life by salvaging functional parts. For example, a lighting rental company might act as a source when upgrading its inventory, supplying working modules from older VL3500 Wash units to technicians or other rental houses in need of spares.
Sourcing components in this manner offers several advantages, including cost savings when compared to purchasing new replacement parts directly from the manufacturer. It also provides a solution for maintaining older fixtures that may have limited manufacturer support or for which new parts are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. Historically, this practice has been vital in the entertainment lighting industry to extend the lifespan of specialized equipment and ensure continuity in productions.
