PlutoFresnel

Astera

Astera’s PlutoFresnel is an exceptional solution for film, studio, and event lighting. PlutoFresnel boasts an impressive output comparable to a traditional 300W Tungsten Fresnel. With a beam angle of 15° to 60° without color fringing, wireless and wired DMX control, these lights offer impressive performance while consuming only 80W. Easy to mount and adjust with removable handles and YokeBases, they enhance creativity and productivity on any set.

Description

Built-in Battery
3 hours on MAX Runtime

Unlike traditional Fresnels, this light has a built-in battery that lasts 3 hours displaying white colors on MAX Brightness. When a longer operation is needed, you can set the Seamless Runtime setting up to 20 hours. For longer installations, PlutoFresnel can be connected to 24V DC power.

External Battery Option
With RuntimeExtender

For a longer operational time, a RuntimeExtender with V-Mount or Gold Mount battery can be connected. The light’s Yoke is designed to attach this device easily. External batteries can charge the light’s internal battery. You can use either 14.4V or 26V batteries.

Zoomable Fresnel
This next generation Fresnel lens works in conjunction with a light pipe that is built into the fixture. It creates an even beam with steep fall-off and no chromatic aberration or color fringing. The manual zoom ranges from 15° – 60° and allows it to be opearated as spotlight, washlight and anything in between.

Barndoor
Included with each light is a eight-leave Barndoor. Its specific design leads to ultra-clean cuts; the edges stay razor sharp when shaping your beam.

Open Face
For additional versatility, the Fresnel lens can be slid out after opening its lock. This gives you a wider beam with even crisper shadows.

Projection Lens
A custom-built projection lens with 16°-36° zoom, manual focus and 4 shutters. Turn your LeoFresnel into a profile that also allows you to insert E size Gobos.

Foldable Legs
Simply fold out the 2 legs and place the light on the floor. This allows fast operation and enables creative new lighting techniques.

Airline Tracks
We have included our popular Airline Tracks on each of the 4 sides. This is where you can attach the YokeBase as well as other Astera accessories such as TrackHandle, TrackPin etc.

Yoke Quick-Release
Detach your light within seconds from its Yoke to allow handheld operation.

Detachable YokeBase
The YokeBase attaches to the light’s side via airline tracks. Move position if you want to change the light’s balance or remove it altogether.

Removable Handle
Our TrackHandle can be inserted into the light’s airline track to carry it around or adjust its position during operation. It can be removed whenever it isn’t needed.

TVMP Adapter
With each light we ship a standard TVMP Adapter that is intended to be connected to the light’s Yoke so it can be attached to stands and grips.

RuntimeExtender Mount
The light’s Yoke contains a mounting point for Astera’s RuntimeExtender. This allows you to attach external batteries.
