Rental company MGG, the largest Claypaky stockists in South Africa, has purchased six Scenius Unicos from DWR Distribution.
“We initially received the Scenius Unicos as demo units, and it was love at first light,” said Denzil Smith from MGG. “In the end, they were never back. The punch, brightness, versatility and fantastic gobo selection make it the first choice for events (budget dependent), and my personal favourite fixture.”
The Scenius Unico can perform in spot, beam or wash mode, and offers an assortment of solid colours. MGG’s lighting HOD, Jacques Pretorius, has test-driven the new workhorses and used them for front light and backlight. What stands out for him is the full framing shutter, effective for applications like highlighting banners on stage as well as the renown Claypkay optical design.
“Claypaky is reliable, and our crew is proud to be associated with the brand,” said Smith. MGG already own Alpha Profiles that are showcased on larger productions such as Afrikaans is Groot and EOH, the Sharpys are utilised on most day to day events, Mythos, A.leda B-EYE K10s and K20s.
While the Scenios Unico may be the new kid on the block, the highly appealing fixture is a magnificent spotlight and excellent wash light. But it’s the ability to generate a powerful narrow beam of super concentrated light makes it a formidable tool for lighting designers.
