“I’m having the time of my life with these,” said an ebullient Simon Tutchener, lighting designer for Mark Knopfler. “I’m still getting to know the lights but everything I’ve seen so far is just what I was expecting.”

It’s arrived. A new member of the family joins the legendary Sharpy from Clay Paky: it imitates its speed, weight and size but fills the space beyond 6deg making it the obvious choice to complement the Sharpy’s beam capacity. With a range from 6.5deg to 50deg the Sharpy Wash is designed by the boffins at the Clay Paky optical lab to be the flip-side to the Sharpy coin. The 330W lamp equals the output of a 1000W luminaire and weighing in at only 18.5 Kg it is the ideal tourable unit.
