MOSCOW – Clay Paky’s A.leda Wash K20 luminaires and Sharpys have teamed up to create a Las Vegas-style light show to launch at new floating restaurant in Moscow. The locally-based Arlecchino Group, which supplies lighting to events across the region, provided A.leda Wash K20s and the Sharpys for the launch of the restaurant on a boat, named ‘Seagull,’ moored in the city’s center.

“The idea was to create an atmosphere of Las Vegas, beaming powerful light beams into the sky,” says Sergey Kupriyanov, general director Arlecchino group. “To achieve this we used 39 Clay Paky Sharpys complemented by the A.leda Wash K20s, which were positioned around the roof of the boat. These pointed outward and moved up and down from a horizontal beam to beams projecting upward toward the sky.”
Slawa Gartung, CIS representative for Clay Paky, comments: “Weighing just 19 kg and offering a light weight and modest footprint, the Sharpy is small enough to be fitted anywhere. Indeed this has been proven with so many so easily rigged on the roof of the boat. They delivered incredibly powerful beams and stunning output which delivered amazing results for the project.”
The Sharpys were complemented by a number of A.leda Wash K.20s. “These are the first professional Clay Paky fixture to use LEDs as light sources,” adds Gartung. “The fixtures are fitted with multicolor RGBW LEDs that produce a full range of vivid colors as well as excellent shades of white. The color of each LED can be controlled separately, enabling the lighting designer to create an endless range of colors from saturated to pastel.”
The boat owners were so impressed with the Sharpys that they have subsequently purchased four, each with a Clay Paky Igloo enclosure. “The Igloos offer complete protection against rain and humidity, and maintain the ideal working temperature (between 0°C and 35°C) for fixtures, even in hot or sub-zero conditions,” Gartung explains.
