The Claypaky Arolla Aqua redefines what’s possible in a compact, high-performance moving head fixture, delivering exceptional output, reliability, and creativity for demanding lighting professionals. It’s designed for those who require not only cutting-edge technology and superior light quality, but also all-weather durability and a cost-performance ratio that makes no compromises. Compact in form yet massive in capability, Arolla Aqua is the lighting genie that turns creative visions into dazzling reality.
Built for real-world versatility, the Arolla Aqua boasts a powerful custom 900W white LED engine, delivering up to 40,360 lumens with precision and consistency. Thanks to its Go-Bright Technology, there's no light loss or color shift when gobos are inserted, ensuring vibrant, true colors and crisp imagery every time. The fixture features 16-bit CMY color mixing, a linear CTO, and a six-color wheel that includes a high CRI filter for even greater flexibility. Designers can easily dial in the right tone and temperature, from sharp spotlight to soft, immersive atmospheres.
The optical system offers an impressive 5.5°–50° linear zoom and high-efficiency lensing, with a 140mm front lens that guarantees beam clarity and output over long distances. Arolla Aqua’s dynamic effects toolkit is built to inspire, with two gobo wheels (rotating and static), a four-sided rotating prism, an aluminum animation wheel, and frost filters that support both subtle diffusion and full wash effects. The 16-blade motorized iris and 24-bit digital dimmer allow fine-tuned control over beam shape and intensity, making this fixture ideal for theatrical precision or high-energy event lighting.
Adding further creative flexibility is the advanced framing system, which offers four focal planes with ±60° rotation and built-in macros, enabling designers to shape beams precisely or generate “total curtain” blackout effects. Motion is equally refined, with 540° pan and 270° tilt, automatic repositioning, smooth-speed control, and mechanical locks for safe transport and maintenance.
The Arolla Aqua is part of Claypaky’s Shield Family, delivering an IP66 rating that ensures protection against water, dust, and harsh environments—making it suitable for both indoor installations and outdoor events. It operates reliably in temperatures from -20°C to 45°C, with smart thermal management and fan modes including theater-silent operation as low as 40 dBA.
Control is seamless with support for DMX, Art-Net, RDM, sACN, and integrated wireless DMX via Lumen Radio. Onboard connectivity includes 5-pin XLR, RJ45 Ethernet, and PowerCON True1 in/out. The fixture includes a built-in web server, CloudIO compatibility, and features such as onboard diagnostics, remote firmware updates, and RDM access, giving lighting professionals full remote control and visibility.
With its rugged aluminum and steel housing, ergonomic handles, and omega-clamp hanging system, the Arolla Aqua is easy to rig and built to last. It consumes a maximum of 1100VA and dissipates 4782 BTU/hr of heat with forced ventilation via axial fans, ensuring long-term operational stability.
The Claypaky Arolla Aqua is more than a lighting tool—it’s a powerful fusion of technology, design, and creativity. Whether you’re lighting a live concert, a theatrical stage, or a grand outdoor event, it delivers uncompromising results with artistry, precision, and reliability.
