Astera launches ProjectionLens for PlutoFresnel

Astera boosts the creative potential and functionality of its battery powered PlutoFresnel LED luminaire with the launch of the new ProjectionLens which transforms it into a profile fixture. Astera Fresnels are designed for various lighting scenarios - from film and broadcast to a wide range of live events - and the ProjectionLens is expected to be especially popular for events.

The ProjectionLens offers precision optics, zoom, accurate shutters for highlighting specific areas, plus gobos. It can be installed by sliding in and out of the luminaire. The integrated manual zoom has a range of 16° to 36° for projection and is adjusted by twisting the lens barrel like a camera zoom lens.

Two focus wheels are included in the ProjectionLens to assist in producing gobo projection. One is for standard focus and the other enables a focus for close proximity surfaces. The E-Sized gobo holder means the projection of shapes, breakups and other effects and custom logos/gobos are seamless, with the projected beam or gobo image aligned and focused by rotating and tilting the lens barrel.

A four-leaf shutter design offers beam control by allowing the projected and lit areas to be trimmed as needed. This option enhances the adaptability of Astera’s wireless PlutoFresnel which was launched in June 2023. The PlutoFresnel has a 15° to 60° beam angle without any colour fringing and has both wired and wireless DMX control with up to three hours run time utilising the inbuilt battery.

Powered by Astera’s Titan LED engine, the fixture has an output comparable to a traditional 300 W Tungsten fresnel, with power consumption of less than 80 W. It weighs 4.5 kg and is designed for fitting into small and less accessible spaces on sets or stages. There are multiple rigging options; the fixture has a removable handle, foldable legs and YokeBases.
