    Skylos searchlight surpasses traditional models and unlocks new market potentials. It suits various settings, including touring, large events, theme parks, and fixed installations. It features a safe, innovative light source and offers top performance with minimal power usage and maintenance needs. Its robust design ensures suitability for extreme conditions.

    Following the success of Skylos, Claypaky is now introducing Skylos NV (Non-Variance) – The first lighting moving head* in its power class based on laser technology (phosphor-converted white) on the entertainment lighting market exempt from FDA CDRH variance!

    * Not based on scanning or rotating mirrors/optics

    Take full advantage of your Skylos NV purchase by opting for the seamless transformation to the variance-required Skylos version. Thanks to the “Laser Variance Program”, an effortless automated solution crafted by Claypaky experts, you will be fully supported through your journey to obtaining the variance simply and straightforwardly. Contact us for more info.

    Claypaky’s Skylos and Skylos NV provide a long list of features and performance specs that make them much more than just a simple searchlight. They are extremely versatile fixtures in every way. They will also be appreciated in the touring sector, where LDs are constantly looking for dense, solid beams of light highly visible from afar and ever-greater light output.

    Key features at a glance:

    • Innovative light source: a custom 300W white laser source, delivering unrivaled parallel beam that is still visible and rich in contrast even past 2km or over a mile away, while ensuring safety and reliability, setting new benchmarks in lighting technology.
    • Superior performance: experience top-tier performance coupled with minimal power consumption, offering an optimal balance of luminosity and energy efficiency. These fixtures are more than innovation, they are a commitment to sustainability. Every beam of light is a step towards a greener, more responsible future, as we are stating in our CP Green manifesto.
    • IP66 rating / Marine grade protection: their specially designed bodies can be used in any weather conditions and environments with high marine salinity and high risk of corrosion. Ideal for cruise ships and seaside environments, they are part of Claypaky’s Shield Family (IP66), ensuring reliability in every performance.
    • Arctic Shield / Heat Shield / Solar Shield: Their sophisticated internal heating system enables performance in extreme temperatures -40°C +45°C (- 40° +113°F). Solar Shield is a system of passive and active metal sheets that shads the engine and internal components from sun exposure.
    • Optical precision: Skylos and Skylos NV feature a specially designed 300mm front lens which helps spread a uniform, intense beam of light visible even from a distance. Adjustable beam angle (0.5° to 5°) ensures exceptional light intensity.
    • Wide range of effects: distinguished by their prism battery, these fixtures feature a rotating six-sided prism, a rotating five-sided linear prism, and a fixed 4-sided prism. Combining these prisms creates striking effects, including a breathtaking moonflower effect. Laser technology enhances optical contrast for sharp light mid-air projections. They are equipped with a 15-color wheel for high brightness with color filters, a 5° frost filter for soft edge effects, a 24-bit digital dimmer, and a digital stop-strobe effect for dynamic lighting control.

    Skylos and Skylos NV are not just searchlights. They are a comprehensive lighting solution that addresses the needs of lighting designers and the entertainment lighting industry. Their combination of efficiency, versatility, and performance makes them a valuable asset for any production, ensuring that Skylos and Skylos NV are the light of choice for those who seek to dazzle and captivate audiences worldwide.
