(16/10/2013) Clay Pakys stand (S80) featured a bee-eye design concept and was located in the Ambersphere village at Plasa 2013. Ambersphere Solutions, the sole distributor of Clay Paky and MA Lighting equipment in the United Kingdom and Ireland, supervised the arrangement of the stand, in coordination with Clay Paky, to give the exhibition space a strong impressive corporate image.
About the new ExCel exhibition center, Pio Nahum, Clay Paky commercial and marketing manager, says: The location is beautiful and modern, suitable to our needs, as exhibitors. In addition for the first time we were able to organize the Knight of Illumination Awards in the same location of the show, with the many benefits in terms of logistics, for us, and in terms of accessibility for the attendees. Our booth, inside the Ambersphere village, has been very popular, thanks in particular to our new B-EYE fixture. Perhaps the only drawback is its distance from London; some visitors might be discouraged to reach the fair every day, and they would come preferably on Sunday or Monday. You might want to consider to reduce the exhibition days to 3 days only instead of the traditional 4 days
copyrighted by liveProduction.tv This year Clay Paky marked its presence at Plasa with some highly innovative products:
is truly innovative for its unique lighting effects; its unmatched versatility makes it a fantastic creative tool. Firstly it an excellent wash-light, with beautiful colours and an impressive 6 to 70 zoom. The beam however can be closed further down to as little as 4 , switching the light from wash diffusion into a parallel beam. B-EYE thus becomes a beam-light for amazing aerial effects. It generates a pulsating bundle of individually controllable micro-beams, each with its own colours and shades. finally introduces a totally unseen feature,: the front lens can be rotated and many little beams are created, that can be unfolded or closed like petals. Adding colours and dynamic patterns, B-EYE turns into a unique effect light, generating countless kaleidoscopic projections, as no other LED fixture has ever done.
Clay Paky A.leda B-EYE K20 wins a PLASA AWARD FOR INNOVATION
The PLASA Awards for Innovation recognize products that advance the industry by demonstrating a new style of thinking, improving technical practice or taking a key step forward in terms of safety. During the shows opening two days, 45 new products were judged live by an independent panel of expert judges who toured the show floor to view each product presentation.
copyrighted by liveProduction.tv The Clay Paky A.leda B-Eye received a 2013 Plasa Award for innovation. Pio Nahum, Clay Paky's Chief Commercial Officer, was the first to take the stage in order of appearance and receive the award. He thanked all lighting industry professionals for continuing to recognize the quality of Clay Paky products and the company's efforts to offer innovation without compromise.
The judges said: The B-EYE has a wow factor. Its an innovative look and a modern retake on a classic effect. Its also a fully-functional and versatile luminaire.
For those applications where a simpler, yet powerful washlight is required, Clay Paky developed a new fixture named (Colour Changer), featuring R-G-B-White colour mixing. When colour changing is not required, the new Clay Paky A.LEDA TW (Tuneable White) can be used, providing tuneable colour temperature through additive mixing, ranging from 2600 to 7500 K. Finally, for the simplest applications, Clay Paky has created A.LEDA W (White), a moving head LED flood-light generating a fixed 7500 K white light.
copyrighted by liveProduction.tv is an extraordinarily compact, lightweight 330 W washlight, with the luminous efficiency and optical performance of a 1000W fixture; but it requires half the power, it features one third of the weight, it is much smaller, it is as fast as the world-famous Sharpy. Despite its small size Sharpy Wash includes all functions needed by a top category washlight: CMY, colour wheel, CTO, 6 -48 zoom, frost, beam shaper. It fulfills the dream of any LD: more lighting points on the rig without increasing power consumption, equipment weight and costs. Five adjectives: small, powerful, versatile, cost-effective and cutting-edge.
Clay Paky received a Honourable mention by the judges of the Plasa Awards for Innovation to represent impressive advancements in the state-of-the-art of entertainment lighting .
The sixth Knight of Illumination Awards (KOI), held on 6th October at London ExCels Platinum Suite, saw lighting and video professionals enjoy a glittering night of celebration and acknowledgement of the exceptional creative talent in their industry.
