At PLASA show 2008 in London Clay Paky unveiled Alpha Beam 1500, a new 1500W concept beam moving light that produces a concentrated and powerful parallel light beam 'Air Craft Landing' light effect. Always present at all the big shows in stadiums and arenas, this effect is taken to another level by the Alpha Beam 1500 with brand new graphic, chromatic and movement features.
Alpha Beam 1500 is ultra bright and environmentally as well as economically friendly: thanks to the new special Clay Paky optical group, it produces a much greater brightness than lights consuming the same power of 1500 watts, actually, it achieves projection distances reached only by lights of thousands of watts. This enables it to be used instead of considerably larger projectors, with enormous savings in energy.
Alpha Beam 1500 has a wide effect section and can be used both as a Moving Beam and a Spot. It offers 14 gobos (6 rotating and 8 fixed), focusing (Patend Pending), two rotating prisms, a rotating beam shaper, and a mechanical iris. It features also CMY + color wheel, dimmer + precision dimmer on separate channels, three combinable linear frosts on dedicated channels, and stop/strobo.
At PLASA Clay Paky also introduces Alpha Beam 300 which - according to Clay Paky -is the only 300W beam moving light on the market able to release an Aircraft Landing light effect from a powerful, light and compact moving body. Like an ACL Par64, the Alpha Beam 300 can be used in live environments, especially for long throw use.
Thanks to the new special Clay Paky optical group, Alpha Beam 300 is three times brighter than an ordinary 1200W wash projector. This enables it to be used instead of considerably larger projectors, with savings in energy.
Alpha Beam 300 has a complete effect section and is using eight fixed gobos (4 gobo images + 4 beam angle reduction gobos). It also features a patented frost, 'soft mode' and 'hard edge' mode, CMY and color wheel, electronic ballast, broad soft and fast movement to easily move onto the stage, the public, the ceiling or towards the sky for open-air events.
