Products from the 2011 Clay Paky Open House

ELS, in partnership with ACT Lighting, presented a Clay Paky Open House on December 14–15, 2011. It was an opportunity for our customers to get a firsthand look at some of the latest outstanding products from Clay Paky—many of which were featured at LDI 2011—from the award-winning chrome-plated Sharpy moving head fixture to the Shotlight Wash, the Alpha Spot 800 QWO and much more. Below are some of the products that were featured.

• Clay Paky Sharpy

  

  Winner of the PLASA 2010 Award of Innovation
  Live Design Product of the Year 2010-2011
  LDI 2010 Honorable Mention as Best Debuting Lighting Product

  Sharpy is a 189W moving beam light with an unprecedented brightness usually achievable only with far greater wattages. Weighing just 16 kg, Sharpy produces a perfectly parallel, laser-like beam with an incredible output of 59,760 lx at 20m (5,100 footcandles at 65 ft). Sharpy is also groundbreaking for the purity of its beam, which is sharply defined and free of any halo or discoloration around the edges. It offers 14 different colors and 17 gobos, allowing you to change the shape of the beam and create an array of spectacular mid-air effects. With its light weight and modest footprint, Sharpy is small enough to be fitted anywhere—on trusses at live and TV events, on stage, in showrooms or conference rooms.

  Sharpy is also available in a shiny mirror-finish chrome version, adding glamour to sets while making lights a less invasive presence.

• Clay Paky GlowUp

  

  The portable, battery-powered uplight for events and exhibitions

  Making Things Simpler

  GlowUp is a portable, battery-powered luminaire that removes the logistical headache of running cables at events—dramatically reducing set-up time, while saving money and improving safety.

  Based on durable, high-power LEDs, GlowUp offers years of energy-efficient service. Power is stored in a rechargeable lithium battery, a tried and tested technology found in many portable consumer devices such as mobile phones. The battery is lightweight, making the fixture easy to carry, and can be recharged 2000 times without suffering from 'memory' or capacity loss.

  GlowUp is fully programmable allowing users to select scenes from a library containing dozens of suggested colors as well as a number of pre-programmed, color-changing sequences. Installation and set-up is entirely without cables. The battery eliminates the need for mains power; and each fixture can be programmed without needing a physical connection to a controller. Each fixture has a wireless onboard data receiver, so several fixtures can be synchronized at once wirelessly. For those that prefer, GlowUp can also be cable-connected to the grid and programmed using standard DMX cables.

• Clay Paky Igloo

  

  Offers complete protection against rain, heat and ice

The Igloo was created by Clay Paky for exactly this purpose—a tough, sturdy enclosure that offers complete protection against rain and humidity, and maintains a perfect working temperature (between 0°C and 35°C) for fixtures even in hot or sub-zero conditions. The Igloo is great for permanent installations and is an indispensable tool for rental companies who want to protect their stock of lighting during outdoor events and festivals. Above all, the Igloo is quick to install, simple to use and competitively priced.
