EXPECTED RELEASE: SEPTEMBER 2023 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. 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 - Coming Late 2023 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.
