Astera Launches QuikSpot
The battery-powered LED spotlight is Astera’s brightest luminaire under 60 watts.
Astera has introduced the QuikSpot battery-powered LED fixture.
The zoomable single-source spotlight draws inspiration from the workflow and housing of Astera’s AX5 Par while taking advantage of the optical quality of the Titan LED Engine and the PlutoFresnel. Weighing 7 pounds 11 ounces, the IP65-rated QuikSpot is optimized to save time and effort when both prepping and operating the product.
The luminaire offers a zoom range of 13-60 degrees, high color rendering and a homogenized Fresnel optical system, ensuring a superior RGBMA color spectrum. The fixture also offers the option of rotatable eight-way barndoors with integrated SafetyLink.
QuikSpot is Astera’s brightest luminaire under 60 watts, producing up to 3,000 lux at 9'10". The zoom mechanism achieves a wide beam angle, delivering a hard-light performance in spot position and an exceptional optical quality when in flood position. The beam can be further shaped via elliptical, rotatable filters and the SafetyLink-ready barndoors. The front diameter accommodates existing AX5 front attachments such as filters, domes and snoots.
QuikSpot offers both wired and wireless operation, with a maximum battery run time of 4.5 hours at full power with OutputGain activated and up to 20 hours in energy-saving modes. Rigging options include a removable yoke, TrackPin Compact for minimal height when hung, and a 3/8" BabyPin thread in the back for added flexibility. FlexCovers are available to blend QuikSpot into its surroundings at corporate events.
The built-in batteries are ready to be charged directly in the case and through electrical contacts. Accessories like the new ChargingPlate and the PrepBox streamline setup, allowing users to easily assign DMX, pair and pre-program up to eight fixtures simultaneously in seconds. For transportation, the ChargingCase Compact and TruckPack include eight fixtures with a ChargingPlate and a PrepBox and can also hold up to eight barndoors, rotatable 17ºx46º elliptical filters, TrackPin Compact rigging accessories and extra storage.
