ClayPaky Alpha Profile — buyer FAQs
What is the ClayPaky Alpha Profile and what is it designed for?
The ClayPaky Alpha Profile is a professional automated spotlight built for demanding environments including theatres, television studios, concerts and live events. It combines a discharge lamp, CMY colour mixing, a linear electronic zoom, a framing system for precise beam shaping, and a rotating gobo system. Silent operation means the fixture does not interfere with audio in performance settings.
Who makes the ClayPaky Alpha Profile 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 is known for automated moving heads and followspots used across theatre, television, concerts and events. The Alpha Profile represents the profile spotlight segment of that output, available in multiple lamp variants to suit different output and throw requirements.
What lamp variants of the Alpha Profile are available, and how do their specs differ?
The Alpha Profile is available in at least three discharge lamp configurations: 700W, 800W and 1500W. The 700W version delivers 28,500 lux at 5 metres with an 11 to 55 degree zoom. The 800W ST variant operates at a colour temperature of 6000 K with a 7.6 to 55 degree zoom and a compact head length of 455 mm. The 1500W version is positioned for high-output applications.
What does the Stay-Sharp-Zoom function do on the Alpha Profile?
The Stay-Sharp-Zoom is a patented function that automatically maintains focus across all beam angles as the zoom is adjusted. This means the projected image or gobo stays sharp throughout the full zoom range without manual refocusing, which is particularly useful during live performance or broadcast where the beam angle may need to change quickly.
What should I check when buying a second-hand ClayPaky Alpha Profile?
Check which lamp variant the unit is (700W, 800W or 1500W) and confirm lamp hours where possible, as discharge lamps degrade over time. Verify the zoom mechanism, framing shutters and gobo wheel all operate correctly. Confirm the Stay-Sharp-Zoom function is working. Each listing on this page describes the individual unit's condition; all purchases include a 21-day warranty covering major functional faults, and further detail is in the buying guide at 10kused.com/used-av-equipment-guide/.
