The Clay Paky SuperSharpy is an ACL beam type moving head featuring a 470 watt, 7 850K lamp. Its light beam is three times brighter, with a far bigger difference than you would expect by simply comparing the rated wattage of the two lamps (470 vs 190). Thanks to this incredible output, the SuperSharpy can really challenge a searchlight.
The SuperSharpy produces a thick column of structured, dense light, not just concentrated, but also with a clear and uniform colour. This is the result of a new optical unit with a large 170mm diameter lens at its end, from which a beam similar to a powerful searchlight emerges. The beam diameter can be modified with a beam size reduction system, offering different diameters right down to a “surgical’ micro-beam similar to a laser. The brightness remains the same at any beam angle and the minimum aperture is literally zero degrees, so its beam remains perfectly parallel for its entire length.
A frost unit allows it to soften the beam edge to such an extent that SuperSharpy nearly turns into a wash light. The SuperSharpy features a CMY mixing system based on three gradually fading colour wheels. The dichroic filters have been selected and combined to produce a nearly infinite variety of hues and shades. Two CTO filters (3 200K and 2 500K) and one CTB filter are available on each wheel to create even the warmest shades.
The SuperSharpy features two gobo wheels. The first has seven high quality rotating dichroic gobos; the second provides 18+1 fixed metal gobos, including a wide selection of beam diameter reducers.
