Clay Paky Skylos - 300W 10000K Laser Source IP66-Rated Moving Head Beam with 0.5 to 5-Degree Zoom and Color/Gobo Wheels in Black Finish

The Clay Paky Skylos is a cutting-edge 300W laser-based moving head beam that sets new standards for performance and versatility in lighting design. Ideal for large-scale events, touring, theme parks, and permanent installations, Skylos features an innovative laser source that delivers intense brightness and exceptional optical performance. Powered by a custom 300W laser source with a color temperature of 10,000K, the Skylos produces a bright, uniform beam visible over long distances, even surpassing 2km (over a mile), making it perfect for large venues and outdoor settings. With a laser life expectancy of 30,000 hours, Skylos offers outstanding longevity, ensuring reliable performance with minimal maintenance.

The Skylos beam features a zoom range of 0.5° to 5° for the beam mode, and 3° to 36° for spot mode, allowing for precise control over the beam size. This flexibility ensures that Skylos can achieve both tight, powerful beams for dramatic effects and wider, softer beams for wash and spot applications. The 160mm front lens and high-efficiency optical system ensure sharp, well-defined beams, while the color wheel, which includes 14 dichroic colors, provides a rich color spectrum. The fixture's CMY system and CTO filters give designers the ability to fine-tune colors with exceptional accuracy, enabling smooth color transitions and vibrant hues.

One of the standout features of the Skylos is its extensive range of dynamic effects. It includes a customizable fixed gobo slot with 18 gobos, including 6 beam reducers for tighter projections. The rotating effects include a 6-faceted prism and a 5-faceted linear prism, which can rotate in both directions, allowing for unique beam manipulations. The fixture's 4-faceted fixed prism is also on a dedicated channel, offering more creative options. The Skylos is equipped with a high-speed electronic shutter and strobe effect, providing quick and dramatic light changes for added visual impact. Additionally, the linear frost filter allows for smooth wash effects, making Skylos highly adaptable to various lighting needs.

The Skylos is designed for extreme durability and outdoor use, with its IP66 rating ensuring protection against dust and water ingress. This makes it perfect for use in environments with high humidity, such as cruise ships, theme parks, and outdoor venues. Its robust aluminum and steel housing, combined with plastic covers, ensures the fixture can withstand harsh conditions while maintaining optimal performance. The Skylos also features a comprehensive cooling system with forced ventilation via axial fans, ensuring it remains operational even in high temperatures. The fixture's Arctic Shield, Heat Shield, and Solar Shield systems ensure that it can perform in extreme temperatures, from -40°C (-40°F) to +45°C (+113°F), providing versatility for a wide range of climates.
