Europe - Ultimo Sharpy is the next in Claypaky’s established series, a compact IP66-rated beam moving head, purpose-built for the most demanding environments, productions, and expectations. It carries the legacy of the original Sharpy into a new era – faster, brighter and tougher than ever before.
With its power-to-size ratio, advanced optics, and fast, true CMY colour mixing, it delivers impressive mid-air effects, infinite motion, and absolute precision. Whether on the biggest stage, under the harshest conditions, or inside a tightly cued broadcast, Ultimo Sharpy performs with effortless brilliance.
At the heart of Ultimo Sharpy lies a new 250W ultra-high performance short-arc lamp, designed for maximum output and sustainability. Delivering 100,000 lux at 20m (over 9,300 fc at 65ft), it packs the punch of much larger fixtures – all while keeping the compact Sharpy shape. Thanks to precision optics, the beam is razor-sharp, crystal-clear, and completely halo-free – a laser-like shaft of pure impact that stays perfectly consistent over any distance.
Designed for the demands of the modern stage, the lamp offers up to 6,000 hours of life in intelligent pro mode, minimising downtime and costly replacements. Pro mode’s smart dimming technology reduces lamp stress during quiet cues, extending lifespan without sacrificing performance.
Ultimo Sharpy takes motion to the next level in a compact beam head. With ultra-fast tilt, infinite pan rotation, and advanced motor control, it delivers movement that’s silky smooth, razor-sharp, and perfectly precise – whether you’re running a time-coded show, hitting every beat drop, or switching looks live on stage, Ultimo Sharpy reacts instantly.
Weighing in at just 19.5kg (under 43 pounds) and housed in a sleek, rugged IP66-rated body, Ultimo Sharpy stays true to the original’s lightweight legacy – but delivers a size-to-power ratio that outperforms expectations. Despite its compact form, it projects a razor-sharp, laser-like beam that remains bright and focused across long distances, making it perfect for large venues and outdoor stages. With a front aperture measuring 140mm (about 5.5 inches), it floods every inch of its lens with brilliant, punchy light.
Measuring only 534mm (about 21 inches), Ultimo Sharpy fits effortlessly into any setup – from concert trusses and TV studios to showrooms and conference rooms. Its compact size simplifies rigging in tight spaces, while the lightweight design speeds up setup and transport, making it an ideal choice for tours and fast-paced productions.
