Astera is bridging a significant gap in the LED fresnel lighting market with the introduction of the compact PlutoFresnel and larger LeoFresnel. These lights offer the benefits of LED technology, such as lower power consumption, higher output strength, precise colour control and installation flexibility. The PlutoFresnel achieves the equivalent of a 300W tungsten fresnel while drawing only 80W, and the LeoFresnel reaches an output that’s equivalent to a 1000W fresnel while using only 250W. Both lights offer a beam angle ranging from 15° to 60° without colour fringing, enabling versatile use in various creative contexts – from stage lighting to film and documentary production. Moreover, the removable fresnel lenses allow the LED base to be utilised in even more diverse applications. PlutoFresnel and LeoFresnel – weighing just 4.5kg and 14kg respectively – can be easily transported and installed in various challenging environments. astera-led.com ATOMOS Atomos distributor Riwit focused on enabling camera-to-cloud workflows with Atomos’ Connect range of network- enabled monitor/recorders.
