Clay Paky B-Eye 12
Looking for a mid-size wash that anchors the whole rig, theatrical grid, broadcast studio, or festival main stage? The B-EYE 12 is built to be the fixture you design your show around. This 12 x 55W RGBL LED pixel wash moving head packs 12 individually controllable Red, Green, Blue, and Lime sources, full pixel mapping, and IP66 protection built in from the ground up. Its RGBL engine resets what a mid-size wash can deliver: up to 15,200 lm of total output, CRI > 82, richer pastels, and accurate white calibration: color performance no RGBW fixture at this size can match. Rain, temperature swings, or dawn condensation won’t slow it down.
What makes B-EYE 12 stand out:
- The New RGBL Standard: 12 individually controllable RGBL sources deliver up to 15,200 lm of total output with CRI > 82. Richer pastels, accurate whites, and camera-ready color no RGBW mid-size wash can match.
- Pixel Mapping, Endless Motion: Every source is individually addressable for dynamic color chases and split-beam effects, paired with endless Pan & Tilt rotation and an ultra-fast motorized zoom (3.8° to 51.1°) for kinetic looks no fixed-arc fixture can replicate.
- Output That Cuts Through: A high-output RGBL engine delivers authority through haze while holding onto the color accuracy that camera-critical productions require.
- All-Weather by Design: IP66 protection is integral, not retrofitted; a dual-glass front panel with thermal insulation eliminates condensation, and the Sun Safe Protection System auto-repositions the head on signal loss.
- Light Chassis, Fast Deployment: A plastic-and-magnesium-alloy hybrid chassis keeps rigging loads low and load-in fast.
- One Family, Unified Control: Shares its RGBL engine, dimming behavior, and movement architecture with the entire B-EYE family, plus NFC-based setup and diagnostics via the Claypaky App, no power required.
Touring rig, broadcast studio, or year-round architectural install: the B-EYE 12 brings the output, creativity, and consistency every production needs.
