Clay Paky Sharpy Beam Light
What Our Clay Paky Sharpy Category Includes
Our used Clay Paky Sharpy inventory covers the most widely used variants of this iconic moving head beam light. First, we stock the original Clay Paky Sharpy beam light, the fixture that set the standard for tight beam moving heads in professional touring and festival production. Its 189W discharge lamp and 2.5 degree beam angle produce one of the sharpest and most powerful beams available in its class. As a result, the Sharpy became a staple on major world tours and festival main stages within a very short time after its launch.
In addition, we carry the Clay Paky Sharpy Plus, which builds on the original with a wider zoom range and additional creative features for lighting designers who need more versatility from a single fixture. We also stock the Clay Paky Alpha Sharpy, which offers an extended feature set including a wider zoom and colour mixing capabilities. Furthermore, we periodically carry the Clay Paky Sharpy Wash, which gives buyers a wash beam hybrid option within the same compact and road-proven Sharpy body. Therefore, buyers can build complete beam and wash rigs from compatible Clay Paky fixtures sourced from our single inventory.
Who These Fixtures Are For
Used Clay Paky Sharpy beam lights suit a wide range of professional buyers in the live events and entertainment industry. Lighting designers choose our used Clay Paky Sharpy stock because it gives them access to a fixture that remains a design standard on major concert productions worldwide. Furthermore, touring lighting technicians choose Sharpy fixtures because they are well known for their reliability on the road and their consistent output over long periods of use.
Concert and festival production companies also turn to us regularly for used beam moving head packages because adding Sharpy fixtures to a rig delivers the dramatic beam effects that artists and show designers expect at the highest production levels. Similarly, event rental companies invest in used Clay Paky Sharpy units because demand for the fixture remains strong across touring, festival, theatre and corporate event applications. Consequently, a Sharpy rig holds its value well as a rental asset compared to many other moving head categories.
In addition, venue lighting installers occasionally source used stage lighting fixtures from our inventory for large-format venues, theatres and arenas that want the Sharpy look as part of their permanent house rig. Because of this, our Clay Paky Sharpy category attracts buyers from a broader range of backgrounds than most other lighting products in our store.
