The Astera AX1 Pixeltube is a powerful pixel controllable RGBW LED baton that can be mounted at event and film sites to light up people and objects or create indirect lighting effects. The Astera AX1 Pixeltube is a highly creative device that offers an infinite range of possibilities.
The Astera AX1 is an IP65 outdoor rated, waterproof, pixel controllable, decorative LED RGBW baton that can be mounted or used anywhere. While the Astera AX1 Pixeltube is designed primarily for event use, the Astera AX1 could be used by filmmakers as either a substitute for practical light sources, or for special effects.
The Astera AX1 Pixeltube lights work with a specially optimized RGB color space: AsteraRGB. This system eliminates the need to control each color individually. Instead, the light calculates the optimum combination of all colours based on an RGB value. It considers each LED chip’s temperature as well as an optimal color rendering.
The Astera AX1 only draws 28W of power. This enables the light to be run continually for up to 20 hours via its in-built Samsung lithium-ion battery. Once exhausted, the battery takes seven hours to charge – and if that leaves you in a predicament, the Astera AX1 can also be powered by mains electricity. The light generates a 180° beam angle, but only puts out 696lx.
The Astera AX1 lights are constructed out of polycarbonate, and feature metal end caps. They weigh 2.2Lbs and are 103.5cm (40.7″) long with a 4.2cm (1.6″) circumference.
The Astera Pixeltube offers several mounting options. For a quick vertical setup an included stand can be screwed via its M5 thread onto the tube. For hanging the tube there are hangers that can be fixed with screws to wooden surfaces or fixed to truss via a 1/4” Manfrotto stud and a Manfrotto clamp.
