Clay Paky's Alpha Beam 300 and Alpha Beam 1500 PLASA Nominated
Alpha Beam 300 and Alpha Beam 1500, the new concept Beam Moving Lights by Clay Paky, have been both nominated for the Plasa Award for Innovation 2008.
Presented exclusively by Clay Paky, the Alpha Beam is not a spot or even a wash - some call it a "sposh". It produces a super-concentrated parallel light beam for a very similar use to that of Par64 ACL, always present at all the great rock shows, but with decidedly superior and innovative characteristics.
Alpha Beam 1500 is ultra bright and "eco-friendly". Thanks to the new special Clay Paky optical grouping, it produces a much greater brightness than lights of the same power, achieving projection distances reached only by lights of thousands of watts, but with the energy consumption of a 1500W light bulb. This enables it to be used instead of considerably larger projectors, with enormous savings in energy. It is much more than a beam moving light, featuring an innovative focus system (patent pending) and a wide effect section, allowing the immediate facility of the opening and graphics of the beam, 14 gobos (six rotating and eight fixed), two rotating prisms, CMY + colour wheel, rotating beam shaper, 0-100% dimmer + precision dimmer on separate channels, mechanical iris and stop-strobe. Three combinable linear frosts, on dedicated channels, offer different projection modalities of colour intensity.
Alpha Beam 300 is three times brighter than an ordinary 1200W wash projector, with the energy consumption of a 300W light bulb. This enables it to be used instead of considerably larger projectors, with enormous savings in energy. Alpha Beam 300 has a complete effect section, where the aperture and graphic of the "tunnel of light" can be decided by using the eight fixed gobos available as standard. It also features a patented frost system, "soft mode" and "hard edge" mode, CMY + colour wheel, 0-100% dimmer, stop-strobe, electronic ballast.
