Description
The Astera PixelBrick is a compact, battery-powered multi-function LED light with a high-quality 2700 to 6500K output for film, TV, and stage production. It can be used as an uplight and spotlight with 5 different beam options. Featuring RGB (+ mint + amber), HSI, and CCT control, PixelBrick can add standout colors and white tones to any wall or object. Its native 13° beam can be modified with up to several filters, such as the included 30° flood filter.
Multiple PixelBrick units can be connected to form clusters and shapes. You can arrange several or more PixelBricks in geometrical shapes or build a matrix. Each PixelBrick comes with the connectors necessary to link an additional unit. Moreover, you can add domes to change the output from a beam to a pixel look.
Dedicated onboard buttons allow easy control over brightness and HSI colors. Additionally, featuring built-in Bluetooth, the PixelBrick can be operated remotely with the AsteraApp for iOS and Android. AsteraApp offers intuitive and fast control of complex lighting setups and is also used for monitoring the PixelBrick. The light also features a wireless DMX module made by LumenRadio, allowing it to be controlled by CRMX and W-DMX transmitters alongside other wireless fixtures.
PixelBrick is IP65 waterproof and dustproof. The battery is built-in and runs up to 20 hours on a three-hour charge. A charging cable for the battery is sold separately. You can use the optional Astera Charger (FP1-CHR), or any standard power supply with a 2.1 x 5.5mm barrel plug.

Anti-Theft
When enabled, the integrated theft alarm gives a visual and audible alarm if the light is being moved. In addition, the AsteraApp also shows the alarm.
Emergency Light
With this innovative feature, the PixelBrick can double as a battery-powered emergency light. When activated, the fixture can detect power loss and instantly switches to bright white light to illuminate the venue.
