“The Clay Paky lights at Plasa 2016 were
captivating and successful,” said Pio Nahum, Clay Paky CEO, when he got
back from the London show, which has finally returned to Earls Court and its
historical venue, Olympia. The industry met the stylish revival of the show
very warmly with the participation of numerous visitors and skilled
professionals from all over the world.
Clay Paky presented its products at their
best, at a large booth in the
Ambersphere village, through a demo-show programmed by lighting designer
Alex
Mildenhall, operator at the famous TV show X-Factor.
HIGH LEVEL
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE SCENIUS PROFILE
The Clay Paky
Scenius Profile won the Plasa Award for Innovation.
The judges said “this product\’s
innovation reaches from the lamp and reflector all the way through the optical
path”. This is precisely the recognition Clay Paky desired, after the
company\’s technicians had worked so enthusiastically to build a fixture with a
higher quality light. Osram\’s R&D also provided a decisive contribution to
this success by creating the beautiful lamp used in the Scenius.

SHAR-BAR, THE
INNOVATIVE MOVING MULTI-EFFECT BAR
The
Scenius Profile was not the only acclaimed product at the Clay Paky booth.
Visitors and the award judges themselves showed great interest in the Shar-Bar,
a moving LED bar with advanced features, which turns into a totally new
multi-beam effect. The Shar-Bar fits six powerful Osram Ostar RGBW 30W LEDs.
The optical unit coupled to each LED consists of a motorized system with double
mirror. This means each light beam can be operated independently of the others
within a cone of 60° (+/-30°). Thanks to this ingenious, original feature, the
Shar-Bar can produce an effect similar to that of six separate beam lights
working synchronously or asynchronously.
CLAY PAKY DEBUTS WITH ADB PRODUCTS ON THE
INTERNATIONAL STAGE
One
of the main talking points among visitors to PLASA was definitely the return of
ADB, recently taken over by Clay Paky. A specific booth was set up to exhibit
some of the key products from ADB\’s wide range, including the top quality Freedom consoles, the powerful
Eurodim Twin tech dimmer system, and the new ALS LED lights.
The
new ADB staff was present in its entirety: the new CEO Simone Capeleto, the ADB Brand Manager Fabiano Besio, the corporate
advisor Christian Léonard, the product portfolio manager Gilles Govaerts, and
the project manager Henri Marechal.
ADB\’s
takeover and its relaunch on the international stage were the focus of the
press conference called by Clay Paky
CEO Pio Nahum, where he explained that: “Through the ADB name, Clay Paky
and Osram wish to strengthen their position in the theatre and TV studio areas.
ADB is a brand with a high reputation and long history. It was founded in 1920
and has set a benchmark since then for quality products and the ability to
offer a complete service, from design to control. “Of course,\” said ADB\’s CEO Simone Capeleto, \”our
project also involves updating the ADB product range, especially with the
introduction of new LED technology and automation, in which Clay Paky and Osram
have great experience. In a few months\’
time, we plan to present our customers with a new generation of lights for theatrical lighting.”
ODEON LINE FOR ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING
The
complete Clay Paky ODEON line, a range of \”pure\” (IP66) architectural
lights, also made a successful début at Plasa. Massimiliano Biava, the line\’s brand manager, said: “the range has
been designed considering the technical and aesthetic requirements of
architects. They are not lights for architainment or entertainment fixtures
adapted to the world of architecture; they are products designed right from the
outset specifically for architectural installations. Plasa is not really the
most suitable trade fair for this field, but we did not want to miss the
occasion, and we received very positive feedback.”
There
are two main versions of the Odeon lights – flood and linear – with a range of
over thirty models. They are available with 5°, 25° and 45° optical units, with
RGBW, tunable white and total white configurations. They can also be further
customized in terms of size and surface finish.
