Our editorial take on the Astera PixelBrick 8-Light Kit with Accessories
The Astera PixelBrick 8-Light Kit with Accessories offers a portable and versatile lighting solution for production environments. This kit features eight 15W RGB LED fixtures, each equipped with a BrickConnect, FloodFilter, and BeamSoftener, along with a charging case and power accessories. The lights provide a tunable color temperature of 3200-6500K and boast high color accuracy with a CRI/TLCI rating of 96.
Designed for flexibility, the PixelBricks include built-in rechargeable batteries with up to a 20-hour runtime and app-controlled dimming via the AsteraApp. Its aluminum housing and IP65 dust/water-resistant rating suggest durability for various shooting conditions.
