The Astra Blade100IP is a robust and versatile linear motorized LED batten designed for both indoor and outdoor environments, thanks to its IP65-rated weatherproof construction. It is powered by 16 x 40W RGB+WW Osram Ostar LEDs, providing high output across a wide zoom range. Additionally, it features two variable white pixel linear LED strips on both sides, offering excellent flexibility for creative lighting effects. The fixture utilizes the advanced PROLIGHTS Spektra OS algorithm to ensure perfect white spectrums with a high color rendering index, making it an ideal choice for precise color mixing and uniform illumination.
With its new squared lens design, the Astra Blade100IP maximizes lumen efficiency, producing a bright curtain of light with a narrow beam angle of just 4° when zoomed in. When zoomed out, the light expands to a wide 40° wash, providing smooth and homogeneous coverage. The motorized tilt range of 200° and the individual pixel control across the 16 main emitters and 32 sectors for the side strips add to the fixture's versatility, enabling intricate effects and precision lighting for any production.
The fixture supports both wired and wireless CRMX operations, as well as multi-protocol Ethernet control, offering ease of integration into various setups. Its reliable design makes it virtually maintenance-free, ensuring durability and long-lasting performance. The Astra Blade100IP is suitable for a wide range of applications, from touring stages to permanent installations, and it is built to endure challenging environments.
In terms of its technical specifications, the Astra Blade100IP features a zoom range from 4.3° to 39.4°, with high-quality glass lens optics ensuring excellent beam clarity. The fixture’s color system includes CCT control, RGBW, HSI, and a virtual color wheel with macros, allowing for dynamic color adjustments and tungsten emulation. Additionally, it offers pre-programmed dynamic and static pixel patterns, adjustable foreground and background colors, and manual color adjustments. The fixture's powerful dimming system allows for smooth transitions with selectable dimmer curves and an electronic strobe function, further enhancing its capabilities.
With a maximum power consumption of 1,000W (peak) during strobe operations and 750W during wash mode, the Astra Blade100IP provides impressive performance while maintaining efficiency. It supports a wide range of protocols, including DMX512, RDM, ArtNet, sACN, and CRMX, and features pixel-to-pixel control for precise synchronization when linking multiple units. The fixture also incorporates an Ethernet pass-through switch, ensuring network connectivity even when the unit is unpowered.
The Astra Blade100IP is designed with ease of use in mind, featuring on-board anchor points for accessory mounting, an LCD high-resolution color display with auto-flip, and a self-charging backup battery for the display. Its efficient cooling system, combined with a low-noise fan and heat pipe technology, ensures optimal performance even under demanding conditions. With its robust construction and flexible control options, the Astra Blade100IP is the perfect solution for professional lighting designers looking for a versatile and reliable LED batten for their next production.
