Kazakhstan – An impressive range of Clay Paky fixtures, including the Alpha Spot QWO 800s, Sharpys, A.Leda Wash K10 and K20s, and Alpha Profile 800 STs are lighting up the world famous TV show phenomenon – X Factor – as it debuts in Kazakhstan.
Lighting designer Dmitriy Karabetskiy is utlising 16 Alpha Spot QWO 800s, 32 Sharpys, 8 A.Leda K10s, 8 A.Leda K20s, 16 Alpha Profile 800s and 2 Shadow QS-LTs to create a winning combination for the launch of Kazakh X Factor, which follows a similar format to the UK show.
“I was impressed by Alpha Profile 800 – the Profile System is unbelievable, it made it very easy to make designs and to highlight the set and the performers,” says Karabetskiy. “To have so many functions and capabilities in a single compact fixture is truly amazing. A.Leda impressed me with the wide range of fantastic colours it can deliver. They are fast, super bright light with great all round functionality. The excellent colour rendering of the CTO and colour mixing system also allowed me to use these LED Fixtures as a very effective front light – I am truly impressed.”
The X Factor Kazakhstan is broadcast on the country’s Perviv Kanal Evraziya channel. Karabetskiy continues: “The X Factor producers are extremely happy with the results, and thanked us for the opportunity to have such wonderful lighting fixtures for the show!”

Slawa Gartung, sales manager for Clay Paky for the region comments: “It’s fantastic to see that signature X Factor look recreated here in Kazakhstan with the latest fixtures in the Clay Paky range. We have been delighted with the success of the fixtures in Kazakhstan and look forward to seeing all types of shows, productions and events finding creative new ways to use the incredible features of the Sharpy.”
