The AX9 PowerPAR from Astera is a powerful 3-in-1 light that can be used as a wireless light, an uplight, or a wired PAR light, depending on your needs. Its Titan LED engine is powered by rechargeable batteries and has a 13° beam angle. A CRI rating of 96 ensures accurate color reproduction. Controlling the brightness and color of the light can be achieved in multiple ways, one of which is the onboard OLED display and buttons.
Both wired and wireless DMX connections allow for integration into preexisting communication networks. Bluetooth connectivity makes the light compatible with the AsteraApp for additional features and controls. The included bracket is removable and features a 3/8"-16 thread and 1/2" hole for mounting. Four M6 threads provide additional mounting options when the bracket is detached. Included with the AX9 are two filters for increased control over the light's intensity.
