Claypaky has a number of new products its showing at LDI 2022, including the World Premiere of the Volero Wave, an LED bar with original and innovative features. It is made up of a system of eight moving heads, each one independently capable of a 220° tilt, thus producing never-seen-before three-dimensional volumetric projections. Each of these heads contains a brand-new mirror-based optical system combined with 40W RGBW LEDs; the innovative concept behind Volero Wave was to be able to move the entire light source on its axis, thus preserving the same intensity of the light flux in any position of the tilt range. The beams always appear extremely sharp and collimated, parallel to each other thanks to the 2.9° projection angle. Their synchronized movement produces an impressive wave of light, all the more overwhelming the more Volero Wave units you seamlessly connect to each other. When fitted on the Claypaky Panify, they can even be provided with an endless variable-speed pan rotation, making the Volero Wave the most dynamic effect light on the market. Here’s a video preview of the Volero Wave from Claypaky:

There are light misty rainfalls, and then there are those storms that create the kinds of thrilling sights in the sky that you remember for the rest of your life.
