Astera’s SolaBulb offers a compact form factor, an output equivalent to a 50-watt Par, and 15-50-degree zoom capability.


The solution features Astera’s Titan RGBMA LED engine and a unique optical system that enables users to rotate the front barrel to adjust the beam. The built-in Par20 Fresnel lens provides even distribution and shadow quality that feels cinematic while maintaining the footprint of a Par30-style bulb.


The SolaBulb is designed for flexibility on set, location, live environments and exhibitions. Optimized for maximum Lux output, it integrates into practicals, lanterns and architectural fixtures while also serving as a controllable downlight. Its beam can be further shaped with the included SolaSnoot accessory.


Built-in LumenRadio CRMX and Bluetooth ensure integration with industry-standard consoles, and the AsteraApp offers monitoring and adjustable settings across multiple units. The On/Off button aids quick pairing and preset selection. SolaBulb follows established NYX Bulb setup procedure and is fully compatible with Astera’s PowerStation for external-display and portable-battery capabilities.
