“The Ultimo Sharpy is an excellent little fixture, ultra‑compact yet powerful. It includes the essential features its predecessor was missing: full CMY color mixing for true color work and smooth transitions, plus dual rotating prisms with independent
control and layering options, combined with frost and gobos, allowing for consistent beams with far greater flexibility. I love it!” - Jocelyn Morel, Lighting Designer
