Perth’s Frontier Lighting has become the latest Australian production company to add Clay Paky B-EYES to their inventory in the form of twenty-four A.leda B-EYE K10’s.
The A.leda B-EYE K10 is a versatile LED-based moving light that can be used in many diverse ways, even within the same project.
“It’s not a one-trick pony as it’s a light that can be a wash, a spot and an effects light,” remarked Jared Hawke, managing director of Frontier Lighting. “The fact that it’s made by such a reputable company as Clay Paky excites me as you know they’ll be very reliable. It’s a great product – so compact and the K10 fits nicely into what we do. As a wash light it’s just a beautiful and the effects open up a whole different parameter.”
The A.leda B-EYE K10 is a perfect wash-light, generating beautiful colours and featuring an impressive, wide 6° to 70° beam aperture. The zoom however can be closed even further, down to as little as 4 degrees thus switching the light from a wash diffusion into a narrow and parallel beam. In this operating mode B-EYE becomes a “beam-light”, whose beam consists of an array of nearly indiscernible, individually controllable little beams. As in the B-EYE LEDs can be controlled one by one, the light beam is a pulsating bundle where every micro-beam has its own colour and shade.
“I’ve seen a lot of lights in my day but the A.leda B-EYE K10 is one of the most exciting plus it’s a good looking light,” said Jared. “You don’t normally see too many good looking lights but this looks good and performs well.”
