A.LEDA B-EYE K20
The A.leda B-EYE K20 is a high performance wash light, a breathtaking beam light, and a creator of completely new spectacular visual effects. Its unparalleled versatility makes it an extremely interesting creative tool for all lighting designers. First and foremost A.LEDA B-EYE K20 is a perfect wash-light, generating beautiful colors and featuring an impressive, wide 6° to 70° beam aperture. The zoom however can be closed even further, down to as little as 4 degrees thus switching the light from a wash diffusion into a narrow and parallel beam. In this operating mode B-EYE becomes a “beam-light”, whose beam consists of an array of nearly indiscernible, individually controllable little beams.
As in the B-EYE LEDs can be controlled one by one, the light beam is a pulsating bundle where every micro-beam has its own color and shade. A.LEDA B-EYE K20 finally introduces a totally unseen feature that turns it into a stunning effect light: the front lens can be rotated in either directions and at variable speed and many little beams are created, that can be unfolded or closed like petals. When colors and dynamic patterns are added, B-EYE generates countless kaleidoscopic projections, as no other LED fixture has ever done.

A.LEDA B-EYE K10  ***INTERNATIONAL FIRST***
The B-EYE K10 version with rotating front lens makes its world debut at ProLight+Sound. By popular demand, Clay Paky has decided to add this important feature, which was previously only available on the K20 version. The K10 and K20 luminaires therefore provide identical features: same optics, same color engine, same visual and “beam” effects.
Only the light output changes, since the B-EYE K10 is fitted with 19 LEDs, while the B-EYE K20 has 37. Both versions excel for their light output, higher than other LED fixture of same power category. Thanks to its light weight (only 15 kg), its small size and silent operation the B-EYE K10 is a very interesting luminaire for a variety of professional applications. It is particularly suitable for studio and theatre productions, where its unmatched versatility may be exploited.

A.LEDA B-EYE K10 Easy
The B-EYE K10 version without front-lens rotation, which Clay Paky launched at Plasa 2013, has not been discontinued but it has been renamed the B-EYE “easy”, owing to its simplified features. This luminaire is highly suitable for all uses where special visual effects are not needed. As a washlight this version is identical to the full-feature B-EYE; it offers also individual LED, since this is essential for creating unique aerial effects in the beam mode.  Versatility, light-weight, compact size, high output  and outstanding performance/cost ration make B-EYE “easy” an very valuable alternative.

A.LEDA B-EYE K10 CC  ***INTERNATIONAL FIRST***
For those many professional users who wish to use the superior optical characteristics of B-EYE technology exclusively in the wash mode and do not need the mid-air and graphic effects, Clay Paky has created a simpler version, called the A.leda B-EYE CC (Color Changer). Unlike the full version, this fixture does not provide control of each pixel and does not have a rotating front lens.
The A.leda B-EYE CC is therefore an extraordinarily bright LED-wash, with a perfectly uniform light field, a really wide zoom (from 4 to 60 degrees), and complete color and white light management. B-EYE CC fixtures are an indispensable tool in every show, where they make the utmost in modern colour wash technology. They are perfect for TV studios, theatres, tours, corporate events, showrooms and theme parks.
