Claypaky lighting defines the visual identity of Saiko’s tour

The latest tour by artist Saiko has stood out for its high-level lighting design based on Claypaky solutions, consolidating a stage proposal in which light not only accompanies but also structures and enhances the live show’s narrative.

This approach reinforces the brand’s position as one of the leading international references in professional lighting for live entertainment, particularly in large-scale music productions.

The show’s visual concept was developed from an integrated perspective, where each lighting element was designed to contribute to an immersive audience experience. Throughout the tour, the design maintained aesthetic and technical consistency across venues of varying characteristics, adapting precisely to each space without losing identity or visual impact.

The lighting design, developed by lighting designer Miguel Hidalgo, was structured around a robust, scalable, and highly versatile system. The concept was created to respond to both the most energetic moments of the show and more atmospheric passages, enabling smooth transitions and a dynamic narrative structure. The system’s flexibility was key to meeting the demands of touring, where fast setup and operational reliability are critical.

 

The choice of Claypaky fixtures was essential in bringing this vision to life. The rig consisted of 86 Sharpy X Frame units and 70 Hy B-Eye K25 units, creating a system capable of delivering a wide range of creative possibilities. This combination allowed the design to explore everything from sharp, high-intensity beams to immersive washes and complex dynamic effects.

 

The Sharpy X Frame stood out for its power, optical precision, and versatility in effect generation, becoming a key tool for reinforcing the show’s peak moments. Its ability to produce crisp beams and structured effects helped define the stage space with great clarity. Meanwhile, the Hy B-Eye K25 provided a highly flexible hybrid solution, combining beam and wash functions with a wide range of dynamic effects, enabling richer visuals and strong adaptability across different scenes.

Another key aspect of the design was the optimization of system use in terms of programming and control, allowing for precise and consistent execution at every show. Programming, carried out by Miguel Hidalgo together with Caco García and Antonio Luis Pozo-Marín, ensured effective synchronization between lighting, music, and staging.

The supply, operation, and technical support of the equipment were handled by Twincam Pro, whose technical expertise and experience in large-scale productions were essential in ensuring consistent performance throughout the tour. Despite the variable conditions typical of touring, the system maintained stability, reliability, and a high level of execution quality at every stop.

 

Overall, this production highlights Claypaky’s ability to integrate into large-scale projects, delivering technological solutions that meet both the creative and operational demands of today’s touring productions.

 

It also reinforces its role as a strategic partner within the live entertainment ecosystem, where innovation, reliability, and versatility are key factors.
