Litepanels Astra E 1×1 Daylight LED Panel

Litepanels Astra E 1×1 Daylight LED Panel
The Litepanels Astra E 1×1 Daylight is a premium, heavy-duty LED studio light panel engineered for professional videographers, broadcasters, and cinematographers who demand high-output brightness paired with superior color accuracy. Retaining the highly popular industry-standard 1×1 form factor, the Astra E delivers high-intensity daylight illumination backed by custom-paired TIR (Total Internal Reflection) optics for a longer throw and a wide, uniform beam spread.

Constructed around a durable aluminum I-beam core and featuring selectable dual-cooling modes, this flicker-free fixture is a versatile asset for high-frame-rate studio sets or demanding remote location productions.

CONDITION NOTE (GOOD WORKING GRADE)
This professional LED light panel is graded in Good Condition. It has been fully bench-tested and remains 100% operational, delivering consistent color performance and smooth manual dimming control.

Included Accessories: Ships complete with its native external power supply unit and the AC power cable.

NO DIFFUSER INCLUDED: This unit is being sold without any diffusion panel, gel sheets, or snap-in front lenses. The raw LED array is fully exposed. This configuration is ideal if you already own an Astra filter kit, intend to bounce the light, or plan to shoot through a softbox or diffusion silk frame.

Cosmetic Condition: The chassis, aluminum accessory rails, and curved yoke display standard, minor signs of previous studio use, such as light surface scuffs or mounting marks. The industry-standard 3-pin XLR locking power connector is secure, and all manual dials operate cleanly.

Custom-Paired Optics & Superior Color Reproduction
Optimized TIR Optics: Utilizes tightly binned, high-performance LEDs matched with custom Total Internal Reflection optics. This design provides maximum intensity and a longer throwing distance across a wider effective beam spread.

Flicker-Free Output Profile: Completely flicker-free at any video frame rate or camera shutter angle, making it an essential tool for high-speed slow-motion capture.

Smooth 0-100% Dimming: Features accurate manual dimming control that transitions smoothly down to zero with no noticeable color shift across the entire spectrum.

Excellent Color Rendering: Offers premium color rendition index (CRI) tracking to guarantee natural skin tones and highly accurate color separation on camera.

Efficient Dual-Cooling & Modern Structural Design
User-Selectable Dual Cooling Mode: Outfitted with an efficient thermal management system that allows you to choose between standard fan/convection mode or a completely silent passive cooling mode (turning the field-replaceable fan off) for noise-sensitive audio tracking.

Aluminum I-Beam Core Construction: Engineered around a rigid aluminum core that maximizes structural durability while serving as a highly effective physical heat sink. Downward-angled end cap exhaust vents direct airflow away from the fixture while helping prevent dust or foreign materials from entering the shell.

Custom Curved Yoke Design: Features a wide, unobstructed tilt range for extreme downward or upward angling. The yoke includes integrated cable guides and hosts a removable 5/8-inch TVMP connector for flexible light stand mounting or grid hanging. Two alternate 1/4″-20 female taps provide additional mounting points.

Modular Powering & Control Adaptation
Modular Communication Protocol: Designed to accept optional plug-and-play modules (sold separately), allowing the fixture to be upgraded for remote control via DMX512 protocols.

Flexible Input DC Voltage Compatibility: Powered natively by the included 100-240 VAC external adapter using a locking 3-pin XLR connector. The fixture can also be run in the field on 13-24 VDC cinema batteries via an optional yoke-mounted V-Mount or Gold Mount battery plate (sold separately).
