After the enormous success of the Titan Tube, Astera has created the double length Hyperion Tube, which measures just over 2 meters and around 80 inches. Double the LEDs, double the batteries, double the brightness, double the pixels and the same high-quality light with App, CRMX and on-tube control and wired DMX option.
The LunaBulb LED Bulb from Astera is a controllable LED light instrument with a compact form factor made to be used on set as a practical light source. It has a standard A19 bulb shape and an E26 base to fit into traditional lamps of any kind. The A19 bulb can be removed to reveal a narrower shape that allows positioning in tighter spaces. The LunaBulb is driven by the 5-color Titan LED engine, which creates white colors using an intelligent algorithm using red, green, blue, mint, and amber LEDs. Colors can be selected through RGB or HSI values, and green/magenta correction is available in 1% steps. Classic LEE and Rosco filters can also be easily emulated using the free AsteraApp for iOS and Android.
The first color-tunable LED bulb for professional film, stage and event productions. Not bigger than a normal LED bulb, it contains a CRMX receiver as well as RF and Bluetooth modules for the AsteraApp. It can be powered via lamp socket or with a standard power bank and thanks to its Titan LED engine it displays precise colors and white tones with ultra-high CRI and TLCI. Available in white and black.
Say hello to our next-generation multi-purpose light. In addition to being a battery-powered uplight and spotlight with 5 different beam options, multiple PixelBricks can be connected to form clusters and shapes. With about 10cm edge length and 1kg weight, it is small and lightweight while still featuring a powerful output of high-quality light which meets the highest demands of film, TV and stage clients.
Accurate punch, fast operation. This wireless spotlight with Fresnel lens features a 13º–60º zoom, zero stray light, and delivers 8,000 lux at 3 meters—all with just 75W of power. (650 W equivalent.) It’s not only a future-proof investment, but also a fixture every event, film, or broadcast crew will want on set.
QuikSpot is a battery-driven uplight, a precise zoomable Fresnel with a 13º–60º adjustable beam, and a versatile, compact spotlight. With seamless integration into the Astera ecosystem, it’s the technician’s best friend, always ready to run and tackle any job.
Driven by the 5-color Titan LED engine, Astera introduces the SolaBulb RGB LED Bulb with a 50W PAR-bulb-equivalent zoomable 15-50° design. This highly controllable RGBMintAmber LED light has a compact form factor made to be used on film sets, exhibitions, or events—working perfectly as an eyelight, hidden backlight, or background accent. It has a standard E26 base and brings a refined Fresnel lens and a reliable optical system that delivers the exact beam you need. Its compact and lightweight body ensure easy positioning in tighter spaces and makes it a great alternative to the brand’s larger PlutoFresnel or QuikPunch luminaires.
Versatile Design
Use the 15W SolaBulb as a versatile downlight designed for film and events, enjoy its flattering architectural look, or use it to add creative flares in-camera. By simply turning the local barrel, the fixture can project a beam from 15 to 50°. The SolaBulb has a high CRI/TLCI rating of 96, indicating accuracy in the rendition of color for flattering skin tones. It features RGB, mint, and amber LEDs for quick access to custom colors and outputs up to 5228 lux at 3.3′, 15°, and 5500K.
Multiple Control Methods
The SolaBulb features an on/off button and supports a variety of control methods to suit any environment. The light is controllable via DMX, with RDM support, and wireless CRMX. The CRMX/UHF wireless range is up to 328′ and Bluetooth connectivity is from up to 9.8′. The AsteraApp enables full control over the SolaBulb and other compatible Astera fixtures, while offering setup features and real-time monitoring. Another option is the use of the optional White and FX remotes for RGB color mixing and dynamic lighting effects.
Power, Mounting & Optional Accessories
3/8″-16 and 1/4″-20 threads are available for rigging, and regarding power options, the SolaBulb is compatible with Astera’s optional battery-driven PowerStation. Fan-free operation means silent on set, but other applications include temporary setups in exhibitions or even shops, corporate events, dinners, or weddings. Emulate a traditional architectural downlight with the optional SolaSnoot. This optional accessory avoids stray light while increasing the contrast in its beam. It attaches directly to the front of the barrel to eliminate light spill, while creating a more intimate mood.
Additional Details
Titan is the ultimate LED tube for filmmakers, TV studios and any creative person. It emits powerful, tunable white with ultra-high color rendering as well as colored light which can be applied to individual pixels or the whole tube.

The Avolites Arena is the ideal desk for festivals, theatres and anywhere that a larger control surface is required. It combines the popular interface of the Tiger Touch II with more live control than ever before. This model – also known by its part number of 30-01-3040-PT – is a touring package version with a road case included.
Alongside the vibrant main display, a second touch screen provides an additional workspace window, also labelling the adjacent macro buttons and rotary pots. These fully assignable playback encoder pots, allow intuitive control of channels and effects. The six LCD screens display electronic legends for 30 faders, for speedy access to all your playbacks, fixtures and palettes. A brand new optical output means the Arena is equipped for fibre connections, with no signal loss over long distances, from front of house to the stage – essential in large and outdoor venues.
Offering seamless Multi User compatibility, the Arena can be used as master, back-up or extra programming surface, considerably cutting your programming time by allowing multiple Titan programmers to work simultaneously, before the main console takes charge.
Diamond D7-215 is the latest addition to the renowned Diamond series of lighting consoles produced by Avolites. This creative console, which is placed just below the Diamond 9 in the hierarchy of Avolites products designed for visual designers and which incorporates many of their technical and design solutions, has 15 faders and 2 14″ touch displays.
The control surface is well designed, flexible and extremely functional; this careful study of every detail allows light designers to create, program and control their lighting setups with ease and immediacy. Button caps, faders, encoder knobs, encoder wheels and level wheel are made exclusively for this console.
Let’s see the main features of the control surface:
On a construction level we find an uncompromising manufacturing: to begin with, the entire structure is made of aluminum to reduce weight. The clamshell design LCD panel allows for reduced transport size, with locking mechanism and screen panel articulation adjustable in 6° steps from – 90 to 155° from vertical. All screens are flush mounted. There is also a comfortable arm rest.
The console supports animation-based generative pixel mapping, Quicksketch labeling for extreme customization, powerful multi-user networking with any other Titan console, advanced Cue Lists with support for macros, tracking, autoloads, time code and more. DMX capability is synergy-ready and can be expanded with Titan Net processors to increase DMX channel capacity.
Finally, D7-215 fits in a Pelicase Air 1615 flight case, with a total weight lower than the European hold limit (23 kg) for easy transport even by plane.
