We advise you on the optimal configuration based on your production type, planned locations and available budget.
Request a quoteThe AsteraBox acts as a Bluetooth bridge between Astera fixtures and the control app, and can operate as a wireless DMX transceiver using CRMX technology with a range of up to 300 metres. Connected to a DMX console, it allows for the management of the entire installation without physical access to each unit, both on set and at outdoor locations.
The AsteraApp, available for iOS and Android, allows for adjustments to colour temperature, hue, saturation and intensity, as well as precise RGB values and colour coordinates. It includes Lee and Rosco gel filter libraries, dynamic effects, grouping of up to 256 groups, and diagnostic and wireless firmware update functions.
The PowerBox family comprises transport cases with integrated power and data that charge the fixtures and allow for control via DMX cable, Art-Net and sACN. Each unit manages a full DMX universe, expandable for large-scale installations, keeping the entire system organised and ready to shoot.
SNAPBAGS, manufactured by DoPchoice in collaboration with the brand, are softbox-style light modifiers that mount in seconds onto the fixtures. Their MAGIC CLOTH diffusion fabrics soften the light and expand creative possibilities, with specific models for each fixture format within the ecosystem.
We analyse your technical script, the required lighting scheme and the shoot schedule to recommend the optimal configuration in each case.

We coordinate the logistics of your hire so that the equipment arrives on time at any filming location, whether it is a studio, a natural exterior or a touring production across several cities.
We have experience in international productions that use the UK as a primary location, coordinating deliveries at airport logistics points, private studios and natural locations with restricted access. We adapt the volume and delivery times to the real needs of each project, from independent short films to large co-productions.
The Astera ecosystem brings together wireless lighting fixtures with integrated batteries, control devices such as the AsteraBox, the AsteraApp and power and diffusion accessories. All elements integrate with each other to set up cable-free lighting installations in minutes, controllable from a central location for professional results.
The AsteraBox acts as a bridge between the application and the fixtures, making it the recommended element for controlling installations from a smartphone or tablet. It also allows for the connection of a DMX console via CRMX technology. For small installations, some recent generation fixtures integrate the Bluetooth bridge directly.
Astera equipment supports wireless control via CRMX and Bluetooth, as well as wired DMX through the PowerBox cases. Art-Net and sACN protocols are available when a PowerBox with an Ethernet port is connected. This flexibility allows the system to be integrated into any existing professional lighting network on set.
The fixtures incorporate an integrated battery with continuous runtime technology that adjusts the light output to guarantee the configured duration. In economy mode, they reach up to 20 hours of operation, and at maximum power with white light, they offer around 1 hour and 45 minutes of duration.
Most fixtures achieve IP65 protection when used with their corresponding waterproof covers, allowing for work in outdoor and humid locations without risk. The AsteraBox, however, has an IP20 rating and must be protected from rain. Always check the specific conditions for each model when requesting your hire quote.
The hire includes the fixtures, a transport case with integrated charging, chargers and basic mounting accessories. Upon request, we can add AsteraBox, light modifiers, additional batteries, rigging structures and wireless control. Please check the exact configuration with our team when requesting your customised technical budget.
