Example Tours with Clay Paky Gear

Rapper and Singer/Songwriter, Example, has kicked off his first ever arena tour with a stunning lighting system designed by lighting designer Graham 'Grum' Leesmith. Over 100 fixtures have been supplied by Ambersphere Solutions to rental house Neg Earth, including the latest generation of Clay Paky equipment.

The tour includes more than 50 of the new Alpha Spot QWO 800 fixtures. 'I've been blown away by the QWO 800. Initially I had specified the Alpha Spot HPE 700 but Neg Earth invited me to go and check out the new QWO 800, which had literally just arrived in their warehouse. The optics are amazing, the light output is fantastic, and the speed with which this fixture moves is phenomenal,' observes Leesmith.

Over 30 Sharpys are also included on the Example rig. "The amount of light you get out of a Sharpy is just ridiculous from such a low power fixture," continues Leesmith, "They weigh next to nothing, are bright enough to create a beam on an outdoor stage in the middle of summer, they move faster than anything else on the market, and the looks you can create with them are truly unique."

The Clay Paky line-up is completed on the Example tour with the use of over 20 Alpha Wash 1500s. Leesmith is in no doubt about why he specified these products. "The reason I chose Clay Paky is simply because their latest generation of fixtures are some of the best on the market in terms of build quality, optical output and features," he concludes.
