Claypaky New Products at Prolight+Sound 2023

	Claypaky's SKYLOS

Claypaky announces its new products to be featured at Prolight+Sound 2023, Hall 12.1, Stand E69, on April 25 - 28:

**WORLD PREMIERE** The SKYLOS is an ultra-versatile and weather-resistant fixture, with incredible light output and outstanding construction features. The Skylos will certainly also be appreciated in the touring sector, where LDs are constantly on the look-out for dense, solid beams of light and ever-greater light output. It fits a custom 300W white light laser source, which provides an extremely parallel, uniform beam. The beam pours out from a large 300mm front lens, specifically designed in Claypaky's R&D department and it is perfectly uniform and parallel, with no visible hotspots. The beam angle can be adjusted from 0.5° to 5° resulting in exceptional light intensity, which cannot be produced by a LED or traditional light source. If you consider its light output and the size of the front lens, the body of this remarkable light is lightweight and compact, the company says. This allows the unit both to be moved with relative ease in any environment, and to be rigged on trusses for use on tours. Its body is IP66 protection rated and marine grade. So, it is capable of working in any weather conditions and in environments with high marine salinity and a high risk of corrosion. A sophisticated internal heating system designed specifically for this product means it can even work at very low temperatures (as low as -40°).

**WORLD PREMIERE** The AROLLA AQUA is billed as Claypaky's top-of-the-range weather-resistant light. It is a true workhorse with IP66 rating and technical and construction features which were once unimaginable for this kind of light, the company says. The Arolla Aqua fits a white 900W (7,000K) LED light source, capable of a 40,000-lumen output. This means it can compete with both high-power-range lights (given its output) and medium-power-range lights (given its small size and weight). Its uniform light beam is another key feature. The high quality of the beam, its density, and the total absence of spurious lights can be appreciated with the naked eye, and its zoom can be adjusted over a linear 5.5°-50° range (9:1). Thanks to our exclusive "Go-Bright" technology, there is no light loss or colour shift when gobos are inserted into the beam. The Arolla Aqua sets a new benchmark for professionals who are looking for a high-power IP66 light which is compact, reliable, and complete in every aspect, with top performance, the company says.

**WORLD PREMIERE** The SHARPY-X-SPOT is a simplified Sharpy-X-Frame model, with all the same lighting, optical and construction features that have made this fixture so successful. First of all, it fits a powerful 550W arc lamp, which makes this fixture extremely bright and produces deep, vivid, uniform colors, including an unparalleled deep red. If needed, the "beam shaper" module -- provided as an accessory -- can be added, thus turning the Sharpy-X-Spot into a fully-fledged Sharpy-X-Frame! The module is automatically recognized by the product firmware. The Sharpy-X-Spot is ideal for those who want a light with excellent performance and a cost/performance ratio without equal on the market, the company says.

**WORLD PREMIERE** The BUDDYLIGHT is Claypaky's brand new remote followspot system. It follows performers and speakers automatically, in a quick and easy way. The Buddylight can be used either in an Art-Net or DMX network -- by setting up control priority management with the console -- or in standalone mode. The Buddylight marks a further step towards ever greater entertainment light automation, the company says. It is designed for theatres, auditoriums, and conference rooms.

**FIRST TIME AT PL+S** The MINI-B AQUA was created to meet the huge demand from lighting professionals for a weather resistant, lightweight, compact, agile mini-washlight. It is IP66 protection rated, making it suitable for all kinds of outdoor use. However, it is also designed for indoor installation since it does not require the same levels of maintenance as ordinary IP20 fixtures thanks to the total protection of its internal components against dust.

**FIRST TIME AT PL+S** The MINI-B SPOT is not only the perfect complement to the Claypaky Mini-B and Mini-B Aqua, the company says, but it also has exclusive features. The light source is based on a 70W white LED engine, capable of delivering 3,500 Lumen, but with a power consumption of only 150W. Claypaky has also developed a proprietary optical unit that optimizes light intensity and light output. Mini-B Spot is bound to become extremely popular also in the installation and cruise ship markets, the company says, where versatile, small fixtures with a big punch are sought after.

**FIRST TIME AT PL+S** The VOLERO WAVE is made up of a system of eight moving heads, each one independently capable of a 220° tilt, thus producing never-seen-before three-dimensional volumetric projections. Each of these heads contains a brand-new mirror-based optical system combined with 40W RGBW LEDs. Their synchronized movement produces an impressive wave of light, all the more overwhelming the more Volero Wave units you seamlessly connect to each other.

**FIRST TIME AT PL+S** The TAMBORA LINEAR 60 is a compact, 60mm static LED pixel bar designed for versatile lighting effects and artistic set decorations. It offers all the features of the Tambora Linear LED bar range and is particularly suitable for applications in narrow environments, the company says.
