The longstanding Drammens Theatre in Norway has replaced its entire stock of LED wash lights with the Clay Paky A.Leda B-EYE K20 fixture in a recent bid to modernise the venue’s technological offering.
The 200-year old theatre was privy to a unique demonstration of the fixture’s exciting capabilities, organised by Clay Paky’s official Norwegian distributor Elektrik Solutions.
“The client bought 20 fixtures because they were impressed with the B-EYE’s notable amount of macros that make it easier to work with than similar products on the market. They were also excited by the possibility of pixel mapping the fixture’s LEDs,’ says Elektrik Solutions project manager Peter Nilssen.
The triple award-winning B-EYE wash light is a premium LED wash light that claims to be 20% brighter than other LED-wash lights with the same rated power. The B-EYE’s zoom ranges from 4º to 60º making the fixture suitable for environments that span from small theatres and TV studios to spaces that demand a larger beam angle such as arenas and stadiums.
“The B-EYE’s ability to create multi-zone effects through its rotating front lens is a brilliant feature,’ explains Nilssen. “The fixture houses 37 LEDs that can be controlled individually to create graphic and kaleidoscopic effects. Because of this feature the B-EYE can also narrow down to become a sharp beam fixture, which is a really exciting option for a wash light.’
The B-EYE has won three awards since its release at PLASA 2013, including a Prolight + Sound PIPA award for best lighting product 2014.
