Product description

• Astra Soft Bi-Color With its chassis-integrated diffusion, the Litepanels Astra Soft Bi-Color is like having a softbox built into the slim Litepanels Astra profile. The diffusion is designed to all but eliminate the multi-source shadow effect and lend a soft wrap-around aesthetic to your subject while covering a larger, less concentrated area of illumination.Like the rest of the Astra series, the Soft Bi-Color is designed for professional production, with 25% higher output than the previous version and high color fidelity in its full 3200K to 5600K temperature range. Adjustments of color and brightness are stepless all the way through, and the output is flicker-free at all settings. A quiet fan at the rear cools the electronics, and it can be turned off during critical scenes, although the light output will be less while the fan is inactive.The Astra is ready for worldwide use thanks to its 100-240 VAC power supply, but it can also run on batteries when AC power is unavailable.
  Benefits
  • Premium selected LEDs paired with a diffusion panel for a soft wrap around quality of illumination
  • Flexible, modular concept
  • Optional communications module allows the brightness, color temperature, and cooling mode to be controlled via DMX or Bluetooth
  • Optional yoke mounted Gold Mount or V-Mount battery plates
  • Field replaceable fan module and external power supply
  • Modern fixture design
  • Easily identifiable and ergonomic manual controls for dimming, color, and power status
  • Aluminum I-beam core construction to provide maximum durability and superior thermal management
  • Integrated smooth dimming from 100 to 0% with no color shift
  • Flicker-free at any frame rate or shutter angle
  • Aluminum accessory mounting points and lens/filter rails
  • End cap exhaust vents angle downward to direct air flow away from the fixture and help prevent foreign material from entering
  • Durable, industry standard 3-pin XLR locking power connector
  • Yoke mounted power supply and optional battery plates with dual integrated cable guides
  • Removable TVMP connector for flexible mounting options
  • Two alternate 1/4"-20 mounting points
• Astra 6X Bi-Color LED Panel Litepanels continues to expand and enhance their formidable LED line with the introduction of the Astra 6X Bi-Color LED Panel that is 6x the brightness of the original Bi-Color 1x1. As in previous versions of the 1x1 form factor, the Astra has variable tungsten to daylight color temperature with negligible color shift, 0-100% dimming and a universal (100-240 VAC) adapter. You can also run on 13-24 VDC batteries with separate purchase of a V-Mount or Gold Mount battery plate. The technological advancement and enhancement is evident in the high CRI and significantly increased brightness due to the use of tightly-binned LEDs and fine-tuned TIR (Total Internal Reflection) optics, resulting in a longer throw over a wider field. Another addition is the Astra Bi-Color's Dual Cooling. Choose the fan/convection mode or run silent with the field-replaceable fan off. You can control the Astra's functions locally or remotely with separate purchase of a DMX module. The Astra 6X Bi-Color comes with both US and EU power cables and a removable 5/8" TVMP connecter for hanging or stand mounting. Two 1/4"-20 female taps offer alternate mounting points.

• Traveler Case Duo with Custom Foam for 1 Astra Soft and 1 Astra (Black) The black Traveler Case Duo with Custom Foam for 1 Astra Soft and 1 Astra from Litepanels is a Pelican iM2750 Storm Trak case designed to hold one Astra Soft and one regular Astra, or two regular Astra lights. An injection-molded case made of HPX high performance resin, it is virtually unbreakable, dent-resistant, and shatter-resistant. It is tough, rugged, lightweight, airtight, and watertight. There is a permanently attached Vortex valve that won't unscrew from the case and will automatically adjust air pressure without letting in water. Press & Pull latches open with the push of a button, yet stay closed securely under impact or stress. The case has unbreakable molded-in hasps that allow the addition of standard size padlocks. Hinges with integrated feet will hold fast under impact, and create a flat surface for upright stability. Three double-layered soft-grip, solid-core handles, a lightweight retractable telescoping handle, and rugged inline wheels make it easy to transport. This case has a multilayer cubed foam bottom and a convoluted foam pad in the lid.
