Innovative wireless LED lighting manufacturer Astera will use the strategic importance of the Prolight+Sound exhibition in Frankfurt as a vibrant meeting place and European entertainment technology hotspot to launch some exciting new products and showcase its most popular current ranges on Booth C20 in Hall 12.1.
The brand-new Helios range of LED tubes – smaller, lighter, brighter and more portable than ever – is launched at the expo – available like all Astera products – with an ingenious assortment of accessories to cover every rigging and positioning eventuality!
This is also the first time at Prolight+Sound that Astera will show its best-selling TitanTube LED batten product which was launched last summer.
Other highlighted flagship products will include the AX1 PixelTube, the AX3 LightDrop, the AX5 TriplePAR and the AX10 SpotMax.
These powerful, flexible and extremely easy to use products are making a big impact in the worlds of film, video, promos and television as well as in a whole range of events, rental and staging applications and some more esoteric public arts projects.
Astera is cutting a reputation for providing quality engineered, practical and hugely reliable solutions for any scenario where wireless control is the best option.
Helios Tube
Astera’s fabulous new Helios tube has all the features and functionality of the popular TitanTube in a smaller, lighter and more transportable package – a neat and powerful little tube which can be mounted in places where a TitanTube might be too long or impractical to rig.
The super convenient Helios has 8 pixels and is half the brightness of the TitanTube but with the same high CRI … making it perfect for areas like pop up dressing rooms, makeup stations at fashion shows as well as for lighting rooms, sets and other spaces!
The colours, brightness, battery life and other elements are perfectly matched to those of the TitanTube so combining the two fixtures gives seamless lighting coverage.
Eight tubes fit into Astera’s neat Helios Case which can be used for charging and transportation. It holds the same useful and practical sets of accessories as the Titan Tube case (16 eyebolts, 16 holders, 8 x floor stands, 16 x bolts, all included with the case) together with eight Wing Plates.
There is also compartment for ART7 or other accessories and the case comes with the same PowerBox charging as TitanTube.
The Helios Handle can be screwed into the Helios Tube so the light can be held and aimed at people or objects when filming, and it also has a ‘babyplug’ attached for mounting to various objects.
To further enhance the portability of this product, a handy new Soft Bag that takes four Helios Tubes will be shown for the first time at the expo.
