Clay Paky Sharpy X-spot

The Clay Paky Sharpy X Spot is a versatile and high-performance hybrid lighting fixture, expertly blending the sharp, parallel beams of a beam light with the intricate gobo projection and shaping capabilities of a spot luminaire. This adaptability makes it a powerful tool for creating dynamic and visually striking lighting designs.

At its core, the Sharpy X Spot utilizes a powerful yet energy-efficient arc lamp to produce an exceptionally bright and focused output. This allows for clearly defined aerial beams that can cut through even dense atmospheric haze. Beyond its beam capabilities, the fixture boasts a comprehensive set of creative features.

Its full CMY color mixing system provides a vast spectrum of vibrant and subtle colors, complemented by a color wheel for quick color changes and saturated hues. For dynamic projections and textures, the Sharpy X Spot is equipped with both rotating gobo wheels and static gobo wheels, offering a wide array of patterns and visual effects. An animation wheel further enhances these possibilities, adding movement and complexity to projected images.

The fixture also includes a rotating prism to multiply and spread beams, an iris for precise beam shaping and size control, and a linear frost filter to soften edges and create wash-like effects. The motorized zoom and focus systems allow for flexible adjustment of the beam angle and image sharpness, whether projecting crisp gobos or creating wide washes.

Despite its powerful output and extensive feature set, the Clay Paky Sharpy X Spot maintains a compact and lightweight design, making it easier to rig and transport. This combination of brightness, versatility, and portability makes it a popular choice for concert touring, television studios, corporate events, and any application requiring impactful aerial effects and crisp, dynamic projections.

The Clay Paky Sharpy X Spot has a zoom range of 3° to 52° in spot mode and 2° to 29° in beam mode.
