Bluetooth bridge Astera Titan

To control the lights from AsteraApp, a Bluetooth bridge (=BTB) is required. It consists of “Bluetooth” for the connection with the App and “Bridge” which means that it transmits commands to the other Astera lights. Both parts include two-way communication so the lights can send information to the app.

Until 2020, AsteraBox was the only Bluetooth bridge, but recently Astera has been incorporating BTB technology into more and more lights. We still recommend an AsteraBox as it has a longer battery life and is more portable, but for smaller setups or if an AsteraBox is not available, a BTB-enabled light also works well.

• Astera Light as a Bluetooth bridge - Rent Astera Titan

The Astera accessory connects via Bluetooth to a phone or tablet and establishes a connection to all lights within a range of 300m via an ultra-high frequency band (100m for NYX Bulb). This setting is recommended for smaller projects with less distance or as a backup if you forgot your AsteraBox.
