OSA International invests in Claypaky at LDI 2022
- Details
Volero Wave is the latest in Claypaky’s Volero line of high-performance LED bars. A totally new lighting effect, it offers lighting designers the power to create truly original, three dimensional and volumetric lighting for any production that wants to stand out. The bar is comprised of eight independent moving bodies which give designers eight separate heads, each capable of moving on a 220º tilt.
“Volero Wave is very attention grabbing – so different, bright and with cool colours,” says Fetto, who is VP lighting and general manager of the Las Vegas office of OSA International, which delivers entertainment technology, event production and systems integration. Fetto joined the company about three years ago to build the company’s new lighting division. “We believe that designers will be eager to get their hands on Volero Wave; live events and touring will go crazy for them – they’re something nobody has seen before.”
OSA International also bought Claypaky’s entire inventory of new Tambora Flash fixtures shown at LDI. The latest entry in the Tambora family, Tambora Flash is a hybrid fixture on the market that can act simultaneously as a strobe, wash and blinder designed with a modular approach to use in a linear array.
“The Tambora Flash is a different concept with its combination of strobe, wash and blinder functions,” notes Fetto. “It’s extremely bright and has great colors and will be used on lots of live events.”
Additionally at LDI, OSA International expanded its inventory of Claypaky Mini-B LED moving lights to more than 200 with a purchase of additional fixtures. “They’re our workhorse wash light, and we needed more,” Fetto explains. “Mini-Bs are bright, have a great zoom and are lightweight to accommodate events in ballrooms.”
The new acquisitions join a large complement of Claypaky Xtylos already available from OSA International. “We pride ourselves in having the newest and best lighting fixtures that designers want to use,” says Fetto.
“The floor at LDI was on fire this year for Claypaky. From the start, Mark and OSA have been committed to providing their customer the right tools for their job. Choosing this line of Claypaky products, especially the Volero Wave, will give them many exciting options,” concludes Julie Smith, managing director Group 1440 /Claypaky U.S.
