Claypaky Skylos: versatile luminaire for extreme conditions

This equipment developed by Claypacks goes far beyond the legacy of classic projectors. It is ideal for any environment and area of use, from tours and large events to theme parks and fixed installations.

Claypacks has developed Skylos, an extremely versatile luminaire that is very useful in the touring sector, where dense and solid light beams and increasingly greater luminous power are sought.

Incorporates a white light laser source personalized 300 W, providing a parallel and uniform beam, while mitigating the temperature and safety problems presented by units that use xenon lamps.

Taking into account the light power, Its energy consumption is not even close to that of traditional reflectors. With a consumption of 600 watts, Skylos has the same luminous power as a xenon lamp. 4.000 watts.

The beam emerges from a large front lens of 300 mm, specifically designed in the Claypaky R&D department. In combination with the light source, produces a dense, full-bodied column of light, very visible even from afar. The beam is uniform and parallel, no visible hot spots. Its angle can be adjusted from 0.5° to 5°, which results in a high luminous intensity, which cannot be produced with an LED or a traditional light source.

Its range of effects includes a slot for customizable gobos and a battery of prisms, what distinguishes it from other devices. on a wheel, There is a six-sided rotating prism and a five-sided rotating linear prism.. And on a second level, there is a fixed prism 4 guys, that can be superimposed on the other two to achieve a Moonflower effect and many others. Laser technology adds optical contrast that makes all light projections very sharp.

Other features of Skylos include a wheel 15 colors, with color filters designed to preserve and optimize the high brightness of the light beam, a 5° frost filter for a soft edge effect that can be used in various applications, a digital dimmer 24 bits and a digital stop-strobe effect.

Its compact size also allows for quick pan and tilt movements, perfect for live shows. It is a world apart from the slow movements of many of its predecessors.

Its body has an IP66 protection rating and is marine grade. Therefore, It is capable of operating in any weather conditions and in environments with high marine salinity and high risk of corrosion.. Thanks to a sophisticated internal heating system designed specifically for this product, even at very low temperatures (up to -40°).

Skylos goes beyond the legacy of classic projectors and opens up new opportunities. It is the ideal light for any environment and area of use., from tours and large events to theme parks and fixed installations. Thanks to its innovative and safe light source, its performance with low energy consumption, its very low maintenance requirements and its specially designed body, This luminaire is very useful in the most extreme conditions.
