After almost two years without any in-person events, Claypaky finally had the chance and pleasure to meet all sectors of the live entertainment industry at Prolight + Sound 2022 in Frankfurt, Germany.
Claypaky CEO and Osram Head of Business Field for Entertainment Lighting Solutions, Marcus Graser said: “Over the past two years, Claypaky has never stopped investing in people, innovation, process improvement and new product development. We presented a broad, versatile portfolio of over twenty products, which serve the needs inherent in various fields of use. Some of our fixtures made their international début in Frankfurt.”
Today Claypaky offers one of the most complete assortments of lighting solutions both by kind of light source – lamp-based, LED-based and laser-based moving head fixtures – and by professional sector – touring and events, theatre, effect lighting, and IP66 weatherproof units. “We met many professionals from our industry who told us that there is a strong desire everywhere to return to live shows and great optimism for full recovery after two years of COVID-19 pandemic,” Graser added.

The light source is made up of 10, 60W Osram RGBW LEDs, adopting extra-wide 80mm by 80mm lenses and some important features like the separate control of the Zoom in 2 groups from 5 adjacent lenses. With its IP66 protection rating, standard Wireless DMX control, a large amount of effects and built-in macros it is the perfect lighting effect for the touring, event, television and installation market, and works equally well for both indoor and outdoor applications.
TAMBORA LINEAR is an advanced line of static LED Pixel mapping bars designed for versatile lighting effects and artistic set decoration. These are hybrid bars, which incorporate two complementary effects into one fixture: the first is driven by a system of 400 RGB pixel LEDs, which offer a background light very similar to that of a high definition LED wall in appearance. The second effect is created by a central line of 200 extremely powerful white LEDs for an overwhelming strobe effect.
TAMBORA FLASH is the only hybrid fixture on the market that can act simultaneously as a strobe, wash and blinder, specifically designed with a modular approach for use in a linear array, to offer new creative opportunities to lighting designers.
