Big Dave Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Story I heard and it sound quite plausible, was that the MAC 500 & 600 got their numbers from the VL5 & 6, but with the small change to confuse everyone Wash light - VL5 & MAC 600Profile - VL6 & MAC 500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potassium Neuf Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 So the MAC 250 and MAC 300 are half the size/power of the MAC 500 and MAC 600 :** laughs out loud **: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Frazer Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 And the ill fated MAC1200 was twice the size/power of the 600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparkySteve Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 550's?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 The Varilite numbers are much more confusing since series 300 as well. It was all going so well until they started with the 2000 stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Brighter than a 500, but not to be confused with a 600, and to leave space for 700w fixtures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMeG Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I would assume their first fixture of the range, the Mac 500 (I'm also assuming that was their first!) has a 500W lamp in. Then came the wash version which was called 600 to tie in with the style of the model names. And the rest are either half-versions (250 & 300) or other hybrids based on those original lights. Probably wrong though... Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Except that the Mac 500 has a 575w lamp :** laughs out loud **: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalmatthew Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 but Mac 575 dosen't have the ring to it. The marketing types probably changed it down to 500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lightnix Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 The Varilite numbers are much more confusing since series 300 as well. It was all going so well until they started with the 2000 stuff. I was told that in the States they used to refer to the VL2416 simply as the VL8 :** laughs out loud **: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 550's?? Bit of an upgrade I suppose! Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
