Back to the sources with the Sharpy Plus Aqua for Claypaky

After the generous flow of new products unveiled by Claypaky in the spring, this fall sees the Italian brand muster new energy and keep good track of its lighting fixtures, in particular the Xtylos whose laser source continues to amaze.

The Xtylos, on top of the Claypaky « Black Box » booth at JTSE ehibition in Paris, attracting all attention indeed.

After a slight refurbishing of the download part of their website _you will now find all the technical documents on the Claypaky technical support site here, the Italians also took advantage of this year-end to release two complementary products to their range, a waterproof version of the Sharpy Plus and a motorized mirror.

Claypaky Sales Director, Emilio Cornelli, tells us more, all in fluent French per piecere ! But we added subtitles in English for you, dear international readers.

Sharpy Plus Aqua

Also giving in to the fashion of waterproof lyres, Claypaky boxed its famous Spot-Beam Sharpy Plus within an IP65 waterproof shell. The cooling system has been revised to allow the Osram Sirius HRI® 330 W X8 lamp to keep its full lighting potential, without changing its color temperature.

Very sleek, the Sharpy Plus Aqua is adorned with a multitude of barbs to help heat dissipation.

During this operation, the Sharpy Plus Aqua gained weight, 15 kg and 10 cm more, but without losing its line or its features. We therefore find the two identical projection modes, Beam and Spot, the zoom range from 3 ° to 36 °, the famous CMY color mixing, plus 15 fixed colors on three wheels inherited from the Mythos and all the effects .
Thus, we recover the 2 CTO filters, 18 fixed gobos (including 6 beam reducers), 8 rotary gobos, two 4 and 8 facet prisms, an animation wheel and the Soft Edge frost.

The Sharpy Plus Aqua, the very same one that was launched at LDI a few days before the JTSE and which arrived in Paris just in time.

This way, Claypaky hopes to meet again the success of the Sharpy Plus with a waterproof version, with the same DMX chart, for outdoor equipment or permanent installations.

ReflectXion

The ReflectXion, unveiled at LDI and not present at JTSE, will soon be available.

Many years ago, an Italian manufacturer launched the Light Deflector, a small motorized mirror for innovating light designers, who used its numerous reflections to give the illusion to provide an incredible number of light sources.
With the Xtylos now available with its infinite beam, it was the perfect opportunity for Claypaky to release a remix of this device, the ReflectXion.
This unit offers a large double-sided mirror, 390 by 280 mm, with 16-bit control Pan and Tilt. The coated surface allows a reflection rate of 99% without any chromatic aberration, with infinite rotation of the Tilt as a bonus.
This beautiful 13.5 kg baby will perfectly complement the Xtylos, of course, but also all types of narrow light sources or lasers, according to the designers’ imagination.
