Ultimo Sharpy is the next evolution of an icon: a compact IP66-rated beam moving head, purpose-built for the most demanding environments, productions, and expectations. It carries the legacy of the original Sharpy into a new era — faster, brighter and tougher than ever before. With its groundbreaking power-to-size ratio, advanced optics, and fast, true CMY color mixing, it delivers stunning mid-air effects, infinite motion, and absolute precision. Whether on the biggest stage, under the harshest conditions, or inside a tightly cued broadcast, Ultimo Sharpy performs with effortless brilliance.
At the heart of Ultimo Sharpy lies a brand-new 250W Ultra-High Performance short-arc lamp, designed for maximum output and sustainability. Delivering an astonishing 100,000 lux at 20 meters (over 9,300 fc at 65’), it packs the punch of much larger fixtures—all while keeping the compact, iconic shape that made the original Sharpy a legend. Thanks to precision optics, the beam is razor-sharp, crystal-clear, and completely halo-free—a laser-like shaft of pure impact that stays perfectly consistent over any distance.
Designed for the demands of the modern stage, the lamp offers up to 6,000 hours of life in intelligent Pro mode, minimizing downtime and costly replacements. Pro mode’s smart dimming technology reduces lamp stress during quiet cues, extending lifespan without sacrificing performance.
Ultimo Sharpy takes motion to the next level in a compact beam head. With ultra-fast tilt, infinite pan rotation, and advanced motor control, it delivers movement that’s silky smooth, razor-sharp, and perfectly precise — whether you’re running a time-coded show, hitting every beat drop, or switching looks live on stage, Ultimo Sharpy reacts instantly.
Still using the original Sharpy in your rig? No problem. Ultimo Sharpy comes with a dedicated Sharpy Emulation Mode. Just select it from the function channel and match the speed and behavior of the original.
Ultimo Sharpy’s ultra-fast, true CMY color mixing delivers seamless transitions, bold saturated tones, delicate pastels, and crisp mid-air effects—all without the limits of fixed color wheels. A built-in frost filter lets you shift from tight beams to smooth washes in an instant, while the original 14-color wheel brings back that iconic Sharpy vibe.
Dual rotating prisms unlock a new world of creativity, producing intricate, dynamic patterns that go far beyond the capabilities of a single prism. With independent control and layering options — combined with gobos and frost—designers can craft evolving effects live, adding drama, depth, and visual impact to every moment. Ultimo Sharpy delivers flawless, high-resolution electronic dimming for smooth cinematic fades and flicker-free performance.
Weighing in at just 19.5 kg (under 43 pounds) and housed in a sleek, rugged IP66-rated body, Ultimo Sharpy stays true to the original’s lightweight legacy—but delivers an incredible size-to-power ratio that outperforms expectations. Despite its compact form, it projects a razor-sharp, laser-like beam that remains bright and focused across long distances, making it perfect for large venues and outdoor stages. With a front aperture measuring 140mm (about 5.5 inches), it floods every inch of its lens with brilliant, punchy light.
Measuring only 534 millimeters (about 21 inches), Ultimo Sharpy fits effortlessly into any setup—from concert trusses and TV studios to showrooms and conference rooms. Its compact size simplifies rigging in tight spaces, while the lightweight design speeds up setup and transport, making it an ideal choice for tours and fast-paced productions.
Ultimo Sharpy takes everything you loved about the original and raises the bar: it is fast, fierce and fearless. It delivers stunning, professional-quality light with impressive efficiency, making it a smart, reliable and green choice for any production.
