What is sharpy?

Sharpy is a brand of moving head beam lighting fixtures developed by Italian lighting company Claypaky. It is one of the most popular and widely used lighting fixtures for concerts, theatre performances, and other live events.

The Sharpy is a compact and lightweight fixture that produces a powerful beam of light with a highly concentrated center. It has a motorized beam angle control that allows it to zoom in and out, creating a range of beam effects.

One of the unique features of the Sharpy is its ability to produce a parallel beam of light that remains evenly focused throughout its entire length. This is achieved through a system of lenses and mirrors that work together to create the perfect beam.

The Sharpy comes in two versions: the Sharpy and the Sharpy Wash. The Sharpy produces a narrow, intense beam of light, while the Sharpy Wash produces a wider, softer beam that is ideal for illuminating larger areas.

Overall, Sharpy is a high-quality, versatile and reliable lighting fixture that has become an industry standard among lighting professionals.
