Ultimo Sharpy: The Icon Returns. Sharper Than Ever.
Meet the new benchmark in compact beam lighting: Ultimo Sharpy.
Ultimo Sharpy is more than just a comeback — it’s a leap forward. Building on the legacy of the original Sharpy, this next-generation IP66-rated beam moving head is brighter, faster, and tougher than ever. At the heart of Ultimo Sharpy lies a brand-new 250W Ultra-High Performance short-arc lamp, designed for maximum output and sustainability.
Engineered for top-tier performance in any environment — indoor or outdoor space, a live event or a broadcast — Ultimo Sharpy delivers razor-sharp beams, ultra-smooth movement, and an unbeatable power-to-size ratio.
Here’s what makes Ultimo Sharpy a must-have:
- Compact Size, Massive Output: With an output of 100,000 lux at 20 meters (9,300+ fc at 65 feet), Ultimo Sharpy packs the punch of a much larger fixture while retaining its iconic compact shape. Its optical system ensures a crystal-clear, halo-free beam that can cut through any venue indoors or outdoors.
- Built for the Elements: Rain? Dust? No problem! Thanks to its IP66-rated housing, Ultimo Sharpy can withstand any weather or environment. Its robust yet lightweight design and ergonomic side handles make it easy to transport, rig, and maintain, making it ideal for tours, festivals, and permanent outdoor installations.
- Brilliant Colors and Beam Versatility: True CMY colour mixing gives you full creative freedom, from rich, saturated hues to soft pastels, with seamless transitions. A built-in frost filter instantly transforms tight beams into smooth washes, while dual rotating prisms and gobos enable you to create layered, dynamic aerial effects with real visual depth.
- Lightning-Fast Movement: Designed for precision and speed, Ultimo Sharpy features ultra-fast tilt and infinite pan rotation for expressive, uninterrupted motion. Whether it’s a time-coded show or a live performance, the motor control responds instantly and fluidly. And with Sharpy Emulation Mode, it can be integrated into your existing setup without the need for reprogramming.
- Eco-Smart Performance: The lamp lasts up to 6,000 hours, reducing replacement costs and downtime. Smart dimming technology protects the lamp during low-intensity cues. Combined with recyclable components and a lower mercury footprint, Ultimo Sharpy is a smarter, greener beam fixture.
- Perfect Fades, Zero Flicker: High-resolution electronic dimming provides smooth, cinematic fades and flicker-free output for live shows, broadcasts, and films. Whether you want to make big, dramatic changes or fine-tune subtle transitions, you can enjoy flawless control every time.
Ultimo Sharpy takes everything you loved about the original and levels it up with cutting-edge tech, powerful output, and weatherproof durability. Whether you’re lighting a stadium, filming a show, or touring the world, this is your go-to fixture for stunning looks, smooth performance, and long-term value.
