Astera Helios Tubes available

Astera’s new IP65 rated Helios range of LED tubes, launched at the 2019 Prolight + Sound expo in Frankfurt, has 8 pixels and is half the size with half the battery weight of the TitanTube, but with the same CRI and TCLI of 96 for skin tones and detail.

With up to twenty hours of battery run-time, it’s an option for areas like pop-up dressing rooms, fashion show makeup stations and well as for the close-lighting of faces, and in larger quantities, for rooms, sets and other spaces.

The tuneable white range is from 1750 K to 20,000 K and can be dialled in on the tube or set from Astera’s App. Eight tubes fit into Astera’s Helios Case which can be used for charging and transportation. It holds the same 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 a compartment for an Art7 AsteraBox CRMX (which interfaces between the lights and the control App and can be used as a wireless DMX transmitter with CRMX technology) or other accessories. The case comes with the same PowerBox charging as TitanTube.

A soft-bag option enables four Helios Tubes - at 0.75 kg each - to be carried over the shoulder. A Helios Handle can be screwed into the Helios Tube enabling the light source to be held and aimed at people or objects when filming, and it also has a ‘babyplug’ attached for mounting to assorted objects.

Helios Tubes can also be wired into mains power and run via DMX ArtNet or sACN and a lighting console, and power can be distributed via the PowerBox on the unit. A display on the back of the Helios tube offers quick access to DMX setup, colours, hue, saturation and intensity control.

The colours, brightness, battery life and other elements are matched to those of the TitanTube, so combining the two fixtures gives seamless lighting coverage and control in a single Astera environment.
