SolaBulb (8 way kit)

Astera

SolaBulb is a 50W PAR-bulb-equivalent, zoomable luminaire with a 15º–50º adjustable beam, refined Fresnel lens, and durable, fan-free operation. A versatile downlight designed to meet the needs of film and events while providing an architectural look.

Description

ONE BULB, MULTIPLE BEAMS

No filters, just creativity. Simply rotate the front barrel to take advantage of the 15º–50º zoom range: a perfect fit for a round dinner table, an elegant and controllable downlight, or the ideal companion for a Chinese lantern. SolaBulb’s optical system delivers the exact beam you need.

A FRESNEL IN A BULB

No compromises, only quality. The Fresnel lens in SolaBulb is fully powered by Astera’s Titan LED Engine, delivering the same performance and beam distribution as larger luminaires like PlutoFresnel or QuikPunch. It’s a perfect choice for high-level events and an excellent solution for adding creative flares in-camera.

LESS GLARE, MORE CONTRAST

No black wrap, just simplicity. The SolaSnoot attaches directly to the front of the barrel to eliminate light spill, create a more intimate mood, or emulate a traditional architectural downlight—without adding weight. Each SolaBulb kit includes 8 SolaSnoots, giving you complete control over your desired look.

BUILT-IN CRMX

SolaBulb includes LumenRadio’s wireless DMX and RDM, ensuring seamless integration with lighting consoles and other standard controllers. The DMX patch is extremely easy to configure: assign profiles, starting addresses and fixture numbers in no time via the AsteraApp.

ON YOUR CONSOLE

SolaBulb is prepared for complex stage lighting and film setups where DMX-based, Ethernet based or CRMX-based third-party consoles and controllers are used. Furthermore, the most useful AsteraApp functions are seamlessly integrated in Blackout Lighting Console – the most convenient way to control SolaBulb from your tablet!

POWERSTATION

The PowerStation is included in the kit and can be used as an external display or as an external battery for SolaBulb. Simply connect it, set a color, DMX address, or dimming level, and SolaBulb will remember the settings even when disconnected.

APP CONTROL / BTB

Take command of your Astera lights! The AsteraApp offers full control over SolaBulbs and other Astera fixtures in the same smart ecosystem, while offering setup features and real-time monitoring.

IR REMOTES

The WhiteRemote is not only a highly useful tool for adjusting color temperatures and dimming values, but also a simple and convenient way to pair SolaBulbs with the AsteraApp. The FX Remote is equally valuable for leveraging RGB color mixing and creating dynamic lighting effects.

ON/OFF BUTTON

When no other control method is available, the ON/OFF button on SolaBulb allows you to switch off the bulb, activate blue mode for Bluetooth pairing, or easily apply different color presets.

ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING FOR FILM

SolaSnoot easily fits the front of SolaBulb so you can avoid straylight while increasing the contrast in its beam. Shield all the desired viewing angles and make SolaBulb look really good with SolaSnoot.

SPOTLIGHTING FOR MUSEUMS

Its clean, defined beam makes SolaBulb perfect for short-distance product showcasing. Fits standard tracklight accessories, matches a 50W PAR/PAR20, and with Titan LED color rendering plus built-in LumenRadio DMX, it’s ideal for temporary setups in exhibitions, shops, or clubs.

CONTROLLABLE DOWNLIGHTS FOR EVENTS

Corporate events, luxury dinners, and high-end weddings have never had such a controllable, affordable lighting tool. It sets the perfect mood for tables, highlights catering elements, creates beautiful shafts with haze, and works as a full-color, full-lens dot for stunning pixel-mapping effects.

FRESNEL LIGHTING FOR ACCENTS

SolaBulb delivers Fresnel-quality light like a QuikPunch: clean edges, even beam, and beautiful shadows. Perfect as an eyelight, hidden backlight, or background accent. With its versatile zoom and small PAR size, plus SolaSnoot or custom accessories, the possibilities are endless.

THREADED MOUNTING FOR RIGGING

SolaBulb includes 3/8″ and 1/4″ threads in the housing for the attachment of BabyPins, enhancing the rigging experience for even more versatility. Mount it on a tripod, add a SuperClamp or combine it with other units in a custom rig.

SOLABULB KIT

Set of 8 SolaBulbs, 8 SolaSnoots, and 1 PowerStation with charger, stored in a durable protective plastic case. The PowerStation functions both as an external battery and as an external display.
