AQUAPEARL-PRO: Proven Performance on a Landmark Stage

For this landmark broadcast, LiGHTSKY proudly supported the event with AQUAPEARL-PRO, a professional outdoor moving head wash designed for high-impact applications. With its 19 × 40W RGBW LED engine, wide 5–45° zoom range, and IP66-rated protection, AQUAPEARL-PRO delivered powerful, immersive color washes capable of covering large public spaces while maintaining refined visual quality for television cameras. The rotating front lens and individual LED control created dynamic textures and flowing color transitions that enhanced the festive atmosphere throughout the night.

 

From Real-World Success to the Next Generation

The performance of AQUAPEARL-PRO at Capodanno in Musica reflects its maturity as a trusted outdoor solution. Building on this proven foundation, the second-generation AQUAPEARL-PRO II is engineered for higher efficiency and easier deployment, achieving a 5% increase in PAN/TILT speed and a 10.3% reduction in weight, while retaining the same powerful 19 × 40W RGBW output and robust IP66 protection.

At the core of this upgrade is iCC™ (LiGHTSKY Colorfy Calibration). Through dynamic compensation and precise color calibration, iCC™ ensures accurate, uniform color reproduction across fixtures—delivering rich, consistent hues that remain visually stunning on stage and on screen. From deep, saturated tones to smooth pastel transitions, color becomes a true storytelling element.
