ClayPaky Sharpy — buyer FAQs
What is the ClayPaky Sharpy and what is it typically used for?
The ClayPaky Sharpy is a stage and event lighting fixture designed to produce concentrated beams of light. It is widely used by lighting designers for concerts, theatre productions, and corporate events. The Sharpy family includes variants such as the Sharpy Wash, which adds a zoom range and colour versatility, and the Sharpy Plus, which can switch between beam and spotlight operation.
Who makes the ClayPaky Sharpy and where does it sit in their range?
ClayPaky is an Italian entertainment lighting manufacturer founded in 1976 and based in Seriate, near Bergamo. The company specialises in automated moving heads and effects fixtures for theatre, television, concerts and live events. The Sharpy sits within ClayPaky's beam lighting line, with the Sharpy Plus and Sharpy Wash extending the family toward hybrid and wash applications for productions with broader illumination demands.
What is the difference between the Sharpy, Sharpy Plus, and Sharpy Wash?
The standard Sharpy is a dedicated beam fixture valued for its narrow, striking output. The Sharpy Plus is described as a hybrid unit that converts between a beam light and a spotlight, uses an Osram Sirius HRI 330W X8 lamp, weighs 23 kg, and offers a zoom range of 3 degrees to 36 degrees. The Sharpy Wash focuses on versatile colour and optics with an adjustable zoom, suited to wash and effect roles rather than pure beam work.
What should I check when buying a used ClayPaky Sharpy?
Check which variant is listed, as the Sharpy, Sharpy Plus, and Sharpy Wash have different capabilities and values. Confirm whether a flightcase, clamps, and cables are included, since some used packages omit cases to reduce cost. Ask about service history; some units have been maintained after every use. Listings on this page carry a 21-day warranty covering major functional faults. The buying guide at 10kused.com/used-av-equipment-guide covers the full process.
What drives the price of a used ClayPaky Sharpy?
Used Sharpy pricing varies with the specific variant (standard Sharpy, Sharpy Plus, or Sharpy Wash), overall condition, and what is included in the package. Units sold as matched sets with flightcases, clamps, and cables typically command more than individually sold fixtures without accessories. Service history and usage frequency also affect value.
