Astera has announced its new PixelBrick, a multi-purpose battery-powered uplight, and spotlight with 5 different beam options.
You can connect multiple PixelBricks to form clusters and create shapes. The PixelBrick tips the scales at 1kg (2.2lb). As they are both lightweight and small in size they are perfect for a range of applications, such as film, TV, and stage productions.
