Clay Paky - Alpha Beam 700

Alpha Beam 700

C61360

Conform to the European Community Directives

The fitting mounts a high-pressure lamp that needs an external igniter

It is permissible to mount the fitting on normally flammable surfaces

Class 1 appliance according to standard EN 60598-1

The fitting is protected against penetration by solid bodies of over 12mm (0.47”) in diameter, but not against dripping water, rain, splashes or jets of water

Maximum temperature that can be reached on the external surface of the fitting, in a thermally steady state

The Alpha Beam 700 is a special and unique luminaire, conceived as an automated ACL to create parallel light beams, visible even in the brightest scenes. Its small, lightweight, quick-moving body contains the most advanced technology for generating a bright beam that can be coloured and shaped at pleasure, for amazing dynamic mid-air effects. This beam may be pointed at the audience or used as a dynamic colour changing “sky-tracker”, thus providing lighting designers with totally innovative options.
