About this rental

The Astera AX1 PixelTube 8-bulb Kit from Lightbulb Rentals offers versatile RGB LED light fixtures designed for creating soft, direct lighting effects ideal for various productions. Powered by integrated LG Chem Li-ion batteries, each tube provides up to 20 hours of runtime on a three-hour charge. With 16 LED emitters housed in a 40.7" long tube, these lights can be mounted on sets, stands, hung from grids, or used handheld. Featuring RGB, mint, and amber LEDs, the PixelTube allows precise control over hue, saturation, and intensity to achieve millions of custom colors. It boasts a high CRI/TLCI rating of 88, ensuring accurate color reproduction. The tube offers a wide white light range from 1750 to 20,000K, enabling seamless blending in various ambient light conditions or creative expression. Control options are extensive: adjustments can be made locally on the fixture or remotely via wired methods such as DMX, wireless protocols like CRMX, and Astera's own proprietary units, operating at distances up to 990 feet. Additionally, the AsteraApp allows Bluetooth control, while an optional IR remote provides infrared control. Lightbulb Rentals provides essential accessories with each kit, including a wireless CRMX box and a tablet for comprehensive control of Astera units. The kit includes a durable carry case containing four 24V chargers, ensuring quick recharging in seven hours for maximum convenience on set. Astera's technology allows the lights to be programmed to maintain maximum output as needed throughout a shoot day, optimizing battery life. Furthermore, the carry case is equipped with two eye bolts, cotter pins, brass studs (also functioning as baby pins), and bulb holders for each light, along with one X-stand per fixture. This comprehensive setup ensures the Astera AX1 PixelTube kit meets the demands of cine, theatrical, and event productions with flexibility, reliability, and ease of use.
