The Clay Paky CL-Mini Xtylos HPE is a compact, high-performance moving light fixture that utilizes a potent red laser light source combined with phosphor conversion to produce a brilliant, high-intensity white beam. The laser-driven light engine, designated HPE (High-Power Efficiency), delivers exceptional brightness and a long operational life of up to 30,000 hours, eliminating the need for traditional lamp replacements and significantly reducing maintenance costs. As a moving head "Xtylos" (derived from the Greek for "arrow"), the fixture is designed for sharp, piercing beam effects with exceptional color rendering and a wide zoom range. Its primary application is in stage productions, concerts, and high-energy events where a powerful, reliable, and color-accurate beam moving light is required to cut through ambient stage lighting.

The fixture offers a sophisticated array of optical features to maximize creative potential. It includes a full CMY color mixing system for smooth, continuous color transitions, a variable CTO for color temperature correction, and a fixed color wheel for instant access to saturated colors. The effects package typically includes rotating and indexable gobos for pattern projection, a fast linear strobe, and a frost filter to soften the hard beam into a wash. The moving head provides precise 16-bit pan and tilt movement with a wide range, enabling fast, accurate positioning and the creation of dynamic aerial effects. The compact and lightweight housing, constructed with durable materials, makes it suitable for touring rigs and venues with weight restrictions.

Control and integration are achieved through standard DMX512/RDM protocols, allowing the fixture to be seamlessly incorporated into professional lighting networks. Advanced thermal management ensures stable laser operation, and the design includes safety features inherent to professional laser phosphor light sources. The Clay Paky CL-Mini Xtylos HPE represents a significant step in moving light technology, combining the longevity and stability of laser illumination with the optical versatility and kinetic performance expected from a high-end beam fixture, delivering stunning visual impact with outstanding reliability.
