The Claypaky Tambora Stormy is a compact yet formidable lighting solution engineered to deliver striking visual effects across a variety of performance environments. Designed with a modular architecture that matches the dimensions of Tambora Flash and Tambora Rays, the Tambora Stormy allows seamless integration across product lines for a visually cohesive lighting setup. This hybrid strobe is built around 675 powerful 2W RGBW SMD LEDs, arranged in 27 controllable segments, providing exceptional pixel mapping capability and wide-area coverage ideal for both close-distance applications and expansive stage environments.
Tambora Stormy excels at delivering brilliant graphical effects with full pixel control and rapid-response strobe capabilities. Its high lumen output—up to 34,000 lumens—ensures high-impact visibility even in challenging ambient conditions. Thanks to its 120° beam aperture and dynamic color temperature range (with linear CTO from 2700K to 8000K), the fixture offers both the vibrant punch needed for energetic performances and the nuanced warmth required for more intimate settings. The unit's advanced layer management allows simultaneous control of background colors, built-in macro sequences, and external video content, all of which can be layered, blended, and manipulated in real time for dynamic, multimedia-rich lighting compositions.
Performance is further elevated by features like Red Shift technology for a natural incandescent-style fade, high-resolution 16-bit dimming, and a fully electronic strobe with speeds up to 30 flashes per second. Each of the 27 LED segments can be individually addressed, giving lighting designers endless creative freedom to animate effects across the entire fixture.
Built for both indoor and outdoor use, Tambora Stormy is IP66-rated, with a rugged magnesium housing that supports versatile rigging options and withstands harsh environmental conditions. The unit operates reliably between -20°C and 45°C, and with its smart cooling system, multiple fan speed presets, and low-noise modes, it adapts easily to theatrical, concert, or installation settings. Its advanced mechanical design supports both horizontal and vertical combinations, making it easy to construct custom arrays.
Control and connectivity are equally robust, supporting DMX, Art-Net, sACN, RDM, and built-in web server access. It features locking 5-pin XLR and RJ45 connectors, along with PowerCON True1 IN/OUT for reliable power distribution. The fixture is also CloudIO-compatible for remote diagnostics and firmware updates, simplifying management across large installations.
For easy setup, Tambora Stormy supports optional tool-free or magnetic accessories such as barndoors and filter frames. Whether used solo or in larger clusters, this fixture is engineered to deliver powerful, consistent, and customizable lighting solutions. With minimal maintenance needs and long-lasting performance, Tambora Stormy is a future-ready tool for lighting professionals looking to push the boundaries of visual design.
