The Astra 6X Daylight LED Light Panel from LitePanels offers significantly brightness due to the use of tightly-binned LEDs and fine-tuned TIR (Total Internal Reflection) optics, resulting in a longer throw over a wider field. It offers flicker-free 0-100% dimming with no visible color shift, and has a high CRI of 95 for accurate color rendering.

The Astra's functions may be adjusted locally using the intuitive built-in controls, or operated remotely with one of the optional DMX512 Modules, available in XLR 5-Pin, RJ-45, or Wireless formats. Each module provides Master/Replica configuration for the control of single lights, or for multiple light fixtures in a network or daisy chain. In addition, the Astra Bluetooth module provides the same kind of control of single or multiple lights from a portable device, using the free LitePanels SmartLite app download. The accessory modules slide into place on the rear of the Astra panel simply and quickly, with no wiring or complex installation required.

The Astra 6X Daylight comes with both US and EU power cables and a universal (100-240 VAC) adapter. It also operates on 13-24 VDC batteries by using V-Mount or Gold Mount battery plates, available separately. The unique curved yoke design features a TVMP connector for hanging or stand mounting the panel almost anywhere, and two additional 1/4"-20 female taps offer alternate mounting points.

    Litepanels Astra 6X Daylight Reviews

    Professional Quality Light

    By Bret
    Rated 5 out of 5
    Date: 2019-07-20

    I'm using this light in a home studio to make youtube videos. It works great direct and bounced off of the ceiling. I chose the Daylight version because I can control the ambient light in my studio and the Daylight has a higher output compared to the bi-color light set to daylight. If you are working in different locations where you have to match the ambient light, then you should get the bi-color. Overall, I am very happy with this light. I am planning to buy a second one eventually.

    Powerful 1x1 LED

    By Andrew
    Rated 4 out of 5
    Date: 2018-03-04

    This is a fairly powerful 1x1 LED, but still is not a replacement for an HMI. The cons are that the CTO/diffusion filter tray is not well designed.�They need to come up with a better way to attach filters and barn doors.�The overall construction of the housing is plastic. �That gives me doubts about its long term durability. So far so good.

    Will the light work outdoors in the rain, snow etc.?
    Asked by: Mark
    Not weatherproofed. So put a clear plastic trash bag over it - maybe with some black wrap on top as a spacer. An umbrella above it is not a bad idea - as long as it's in combination with the trash bag. (Remember to fasten the bottom of the trash bag so it doesn't blow away!

    Is the fan very noisy? Would this create an issue using multiple Astras in a studio setup?
    Asked by: Mike
    The fan can be disabled when it is dimmed to 50% or less. It’s about the loudness of typical camera fan. I do not believe it will create an issue in a typical studio environment. I have used two of these units simultaneously on location in an audio recording studio and did not get any complaints from my recordist.
