The A.leda B-EYE K20 is a high performance wash light, a breathtaking beam light, and a creator of completely new spectacular visual effects. Its unparalleled versatility makes it an extremely interesting creative tool for all lighting designers, says the company.
The B-EYE K10 version with rotating front lens makes its world debut at ProLight+Sound. By popular demand, Clay Paky has decided to add this important feature, which was previously only available on the K20 version. The K10 and K20 luminaires therefore provide identical features: same optics, same colour engine, same visual and 'beam' effects. Only the light output changes, since the B-EYE K10 is fitted with 19 LEDs, while the B-EYE K20 has 37. Both versions excel for their light output, higher than other LED fixture of same power category. Thanks to its light weight (only 15 kg), its small size and silent operation the B-EYE K10 is a very interesting luminaire for a variety of professional applications. It is particularly suitable for studio and theatre productions, where its unmatched versatility may be exploited.
The B-EYE K10 version without front-lens rotation, which Clay Paky launched at PLASA 2013, has not been discontinued but it has been renamed the B-EYE "easy", owing to its simplified features. This luminaire is highly suitable for all uses where special visual effects are not needed. As a washlight this version is identical to the full-feature B-EYE; it offers also individual LED, since this is essential for creating unique aerial effects in the beam mode. Versatility, light-weight, compact size, high output and outstanding performance/cost ration make B-EYE "easy" an very valuable alternative.
For those many professional users who wish to use the superior optical characteristics of B-EYE technology exclusively in the wash mode and do not need the mid-air and graphic effects, Clay Paky has created a simpler version, called the A.leda B-EYE CC (Colour Changer). Unlike the full version, this fixture does not provide control of each pixel and does not have a rotating front lens. The A.leda B-EYE CC is therefore an extraordinarily bright LED-wash, with a perfectly uniform light field, a really wide zoom (from 4 to 60 degrees), and complete color and white light management. B-EYE CC fixtures are an indispensable tool in every show, where they make the utmost in modern colour wash technology. They are designed for TV studios, theatres, tours, corporate events, showrooms and theme parks.
There are more new fixtures that Clay Paky will unveil at ProLight+Sound - The company is working hard to bring the first prototypes to the show.
