Alpha Spot HPE 700
With the Alpha Spot HPE 700, a new generation of ?moving heads? for graphic effects is born. This luminaire combines spectacular effects, ease of daily use, simple operation and environmental sustainability. The 700 watt lamp provides a level of brightness equal, if not greater, than that seen with higher wattages. The small and light-weight body houses an array of optical and graphic devices that have nothing to envy from more sophisticated fixtures, including a zoom with electronic focus and electronic dimmer. The frost effect and its extraordinary brightness allow this spotlight to be used in the place of a washlight. The keywords for Alphas Spot HPE 700 are: full beam control, complete range of graphic effects, brightness, speed, low energy consumption and versatile use.
A light beam making all graphic effects sharp and bright
Decorative projection is without a doubt more impressive when images are bright their edges clear and well defined. For this purpose, the Alpha Spots HPE 700 feature a special optical system and dichroic elliptical reflector with high luminous efficiency that collect and concentrate the flux emitted by the new FastFit 700W lamp, intentionally creating a ?hotspot? effect with no less than 33,000 lx at five meters. However, if necessary, a separate lens can be inserted to soften the beam with a more ?uniform field?, for example in less brightly lit scenes.
Breathtaking speed
The Alpha Spot HPE 700 is as nervous as a colt. This spotlight has been designed to amaze for the agility of its movements and the readiness with which it responds to controls. The incomparable speed of the three-phase motors is used to the full in this version. Not only do they produce extremely fast pans (2.75 s / 540°) and tilts (1.65 s / 250°), but also instantaneous ?snapshot? transitions from one effect to another (gobo, iris and zoom) and impressive bi-directional rotations (prisms and gobos). Furthermore sixteen-bit resolution guarantees absolute precision and reproducibility.
Precision linear zoom and dimmer
Alpha Spots HPE 700 have a very fast linear zoom with wide linear range from 14.7° to 47°. The dimmer is electronic from 100 to 50% and mechanical from 50% to zero, and is perfectly linear. Electronic dimming leads to savings in consumption and longer lamp life. Sixteen-bit resolution ensures extra-precise control.
Beautiful colors
The built-in CMY system and the additional color wheel (8+white) make any color possible. Special new colors, particularly demanded for professional use, have been selected for the color wheel.
High quality devices for projections and mid-air effects
Despite their small size, Alpha Spots HPE 700s provide a vast range of effects, able to satisfy every creative requirement. Their fifteen interchangeable gobos (seven rotating plus eight fixed) are all made from high quality textured dichroic glass, and fitted on two wheels that can be combined for a high impact morphing effect. The highly transparent rotating prism allows fairly large surfaces to be decorated with dynamic and highly atmospheric effects. The frost filter is so effective that it emulates a washlight. Finally the iris is so fast that it can be used as an effect in its own right.

Used Clay Paky
Claypaky S.p.A., a subsidiary of the German lighting manufacturer Osram, is a developer of professional lighting systems for the entertainment sector (theatre, television, concerts, nightclubs and outdoor events ) and for architectural applications.
The company is based near Bergamo, about 40 km from Milan, Italy. It operates from a modern facility housing its R&D labs, main production plant and quality control, sales and administration departments. At present Clay Paky exports 95% of its production through a global sales and service organization represented by a dealer network active in more than 80 countries around the world.
The Claypaky company was founded in August 1976, taking its name from the shortened, anglicized form of the name of its founder, Pasquale (Paky) Quadri, one of the first entrepreneurs to realize that technological developments in lighting would have an enormous future in the show business and entertainment world.
In 1982 Claypaky presented the Astrodisco, which used a single lamp to project multiple rays of colored light across ceilings and dance floors. Five years later it launched Brilliant, a digitally controlled moving head and forerunner of a new generation of “intelligent” projectors.
This was followed in 1988 by the programmable Golden Scan, a moving mirror projector and the first luminaire to implement stepper motor technology instead of servo motors. Acclaimed by the specialised press as “the world’s most popular and best-selling projector”, the Golden Scan became a commonly used lighting effect at nightclubs and rock concerts during the late 1980s and the 1990s.The London rock band Klaxons claimed the projector was the inspiration behind their light-themed, hit single Golden Skans.
Since 2000, Claypaky has also been developing its offer for indoor and outdoor architectural applications. In 2002 it moved its headquarters to a new industrial complex in Seriate (Bergamo), achieving certification for compliance with the UNI EN ISO 9001 quality standard that same year.
Claypaky has experienced constant growth, reporting revenues of more than 50 million euro for 2011, up by over 50% from 2010 (33 million euro). It has a workforce of nearly 200 people. In 2014 the Claypaky founder Pasquale Quadri died and the company has been acquired by Osram.

Safety Cable: A steel cable that has a clip on one end and a loop on the other. It is intended to be threaded through a piece of hanging equipment and around a support structure, such as a batten or truss, and then clipped to its loop. It then acts as a safety support should the primary support, such as a pipe clamp or hanging arm, fail.
Safety Screen: A metal wire screen, placed at the front of an open-face light source, designed to retain large pieces of broken glass should the lamp break.
Sail: The total surface area of an overhead, butterfly, scrim, flag or cutter.
Saturation: The aspect of color that determines the difference from white at a constant hue, i.e., the property of any color that distinguishes it from a gray of the same brightness. High saturation is one with little or no white light added to the color, like deep red. Low saturation is one with a large amount of white light added to the color, such as light pink.
Scoop: Named for its scoop-like shape, an open face flood light with a large, diffuse reflector that is essentially the body of the light source. The reflector is parabolic, spherical, or ellipsoidal and is generally made from unpainted aluminum.
Screw Base: A threaded, cylindrical shaped lamp base with a single contact on the bottom. The threaded part of the base holds the lamp into its socket and acts as the second contact.
Scrim: In the theatre industry, a thin, gauze-like curtain. When illuminated from the front, it appears opaque, and when illumination is present behind it but not on it, the scrim becomes almost transparent. It can also appear translucent when there is some illumination directly on it, and some illumination present behind it, in the proper proportions. In the film and video industries, a fabric panel, used for dimming, with the light source being a lamp head or sunlight. They are available in variety of sizes and shapes and materials of varying density. In the film and video industries, a round, framed metal screen, available in various densities, placed on the front of a light source to act as a dimmer. They are also available so that only half of the frame is screened, therefore allowing for only a portion of the light to be dimmed. For us, a metal screen used in front of a light to reduce intensity without diffusion.
Scrim Set: A set of metal scrims comprising a full double density, half double density, full single density and half single density.
Sealed Beam Lamp: A lamp with an integral light source, reflector and lens, all of which are either sealed within, or are a part of the envelope.

Stud: A metal protrusion, generally 3/8", 1/2", 5/8" or 1 1/8" in diameter. It is used to mount light sources and assorted grip equipment to a receiver such as a light stand. Studs also have wide, circular grooves designed to captivate the tip of the tee-handle or bolt provided with the receiver. This prevents the receiver-stud combination from unintentionally uncoupling, and can also prevent the stud from rotating once it`s seated. Any threaded metal protrusion used to mount light sources and assorted grip equipment via a nut or threaded socket.
Studio Fresnel: A Fresnel spotlight used primarily in studios for the film and video industries. Because portability is generally not a concern, these tend to be larger than location Fresnel`s of the same wattage.
Three-Point Lighting: The standard lighting system of key, fill and back lighting from which all other lighting setups evolve.
Transformer (Xformer): An item that converts voltage from one value to another. There are two basic types, electronic and magnetic, and both come in many configurations.
