This iconic product launch is just the beginning. Claypaky is gearing up to celebrate its 50th anniversary—a milestone that blends decades of lighting expertise, passion, and innovation. What better way to honor our legacy than by pushing boundaries once again? Get ready for more surprises, more creativity, and more light.

Features

• 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.
• LOW-NOISE Mode: You asked for a quieter Ultimo Sharpy, and we listened. This new operating mode delivers quieter, more controlled operation to the iconic Ultimo Sharpy, reducing sound levels by 7 dB while maintaining 90% of the original light output.
• 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 reprogramming.
• Eco-Smart Performance: The OSRAM 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.
• Ready for the Open Sea: Ultimo Sharpy is available with Marine Shield, Claypaky’s specialized treatment designed for cruise ships and marine installations. Its IP66-rated housing already protects against rain, dust, and harsh weather. Marine Shield takes it further, adding targeted resistance to salt-laden air and the corrosive effects of the maritime environment. The result: Ultimo Sharpy’s signature razor-sharp beam and high-speed performance stay fully intact on board, with reduced downtime and lower maintenance costs over time, even in the most demanding marine conditions.
