Main Light, which serves all lighting markets from theatrical to touring, has become one of the largest rental houses in the US. After initially purchasing Sharpy fixtures earlier this year, the company has reinforced its Clay Paky offerings by acquiring the Alpha units.
"The features and quality of the Clay Paky fixtures uniquely position them in the market," notes Randy Mullican at Main Light. "We like the speed of the Sharpy - the unit is extremely fast and the beam projects out of the Sharpy incredibly far. They have no problem cutting through 1500-watt fixtures on stage."
Mullican cites the low noise level of the Alpha 700, which enables it to be used in theatre environments. "It's also the only 700W unit with framing shutters," he points out. The intensity and auto effects features of the Alpha Spot HPE 1500 were driving factors in the purchase of those fixtures.
