"Their versatility makes them a really cost effective investment as they spend very little time sitting in the warehouse and secondly, clients have confidence in the brand - they know they are getting a very high quality bit of kit. There are always customers who aspire to have more than their budget allows but we find that the flexibility of the Clay Pakys makes them such a valuable item that if equipment has to be cut from the final specification, other items get cut first. Clients see them as a central ingredient to their lighting requirements."
Having prior knowledge of Clay Paky quality from stocking the Mini Scan HPE in the past, Capel choose to invest in both Alpha Spot HPE 700s and A.leda K10s at the end of 2012. As he comments, they immediately had an opportunity to show their value, "The K10s really came into their own on the 'Christmas: the Musical' event. It was a venue with no suitable power outlet and very little rigging capacity. A tungsten look was required and the K10s provided this brilliantly using little power and presenting very little issues in respect of hanging and weight."
