UK - PLASA Show 2023 will see the world premiere of Claypaky’s Midi-B FX which stems from the innovative idea of adding some fancy lighting effects to a moving head washlight to get a fixture that can do both RGBW wash lighting and be used as part of the set design.
To do this, Claypaky has placed a long top hat on the body of a Claypaky Midi-B, and fit five parallel rings of LEDs around it, each of which can be controlled separately for a wide range of colours. This patent-pending technology allows dynamic, attractive plays on colour, which are perfect for TV studio set designs and very useful for corporate and tour lighting.
As a washlight, the Midi-B FX has the same features as the Midi-B - with which it is fully compatible - including the optimised HD optical system, which provides a highly efficient, bright output. Its 4° to 50° zoom means it can be used in
