At one time the only way you could focus your light source was by using a Fresnel or PAR fixture. Litepanels, a pioneer in the LED field, has changed that with the introduction of the Astra Bi-Focus Daylight LED Panel. Fresnels and PARs can be cumbersome but Litepanels uses two sets of lenses in the panel to allow spot-to-flood beam adjustment from 15 degrees to 45 degrees in a fixture that is only 5.3" thick. The 15-degree beam angle is handy in situations where you want to isolate a subject, control spill, or for long throw applications; whereas 45 degrees is ideal for wide coverage. And best of all you can adjust your coverage without moving the light, a valuable capability when the Astra is hung overhead or mounted in a hard to reach place. This is where the Astra's control features will be appreciated. While you can make adjustments on the unit, you can also control dimming (from 0 to 100%), focus, and turning the cooling fan on or off, with the purchase of a Bluetooth or DMX module - a great option in sound sensitive environments.
The Astra Bi-Focus offers all the benefits of using an LED light source and then some. The light features a low power draw of 105W with a high output, while maintaining a high TLCI/CRI rating of 95, indicating accurate and precise color rendering. The Astra Bi-Focus Daylight is ready for worldwide use thanks to the included 100 - 240 VAC power supply, but it can also run on 14.4V professional batteries with the purchase of a V-Mount or Gold-Mount battery plate for situations where mains power is unavailable. Mounting options include a 5/8" receiver, or alternatively, two 1/4"-20 mounting points.

Litepanels was founded in 2001 by a group of Hollywood-based lighting designers and directors who pioneered LED lighting for motion pictures, television and the audio-visual industry. Our products have since won numerous awards and been used on-location and in studio environments, as well as for installations at the White House press briefing room. We have even delivered lighting systems for NASA to use in the International Space Station.
In 2015 Litepanels continues to lead the LED lighting revolution in form and function, retaining our clear focus on performance, reliability and efficiency as the primary features of high-quality lighting equipment. Through continual research, development and design we are able to consistently push the boundaries and set new standards for LED production lighting; expanding our catalogue of visually accurate, flicker-free, fully dimmable, soft LED lights.
The Litepanels Difference
Visually accurate Daylight, Tungsten and Variable Color Balanced Fixtures
Litepanels offers LED lighting fixtures that are daylight balanced, tungsten balanced, and for some fixtures, variable color balance that can be dialed to any color temperature between daylight and tungsten. Take control of your lighting environment by matching any ambient color temperature or creating your own with high-quality, custom-made LED fixtures.
Proper thermal management ensuring consistent performance
Achieve a serious ROI and enjoy years of maintenance-free performance with LEDs that are properly cooled and not overdriven, resulting in tens of thousands of hours without refocusing or changing a bulb. Litepanels LED fixtures are moderated to provide accurate color temperature and consistent illumination for a long, long time to provide the best return on investment.
Litepanels has always been committed to protecting the environment by not using any hazardous materials in the construction of our LED lighting fixtures. The fixtures themselves can be recycled at the end of their lifecycle. Every Litepanels fixture is free from the harmful UV emissions found in more traditional lighting sources.
Shoot confidently at any frame rate or shutter angle without experiencing flicker or partially exposed images. Flicker-free light output is not an inherent quality of LEDs, but it is with every Litepanels unit thanks to our analogue dimming system.
