Astera Launches Connect Series of Installation Products

	"With its smooth color mixing, crisp CT whites, and extensive color range -- from rich, saturated colors to subtle pastel tones -- QuikBeam Connect can add character and atmosphere to a space and transform its mood when needed."

Astera launches its new Connect Series, which, the company says, extends the performance and creative possibilities of its lighting into permanent and long-term installations.

The first product in the series is QuikBeam Connect, enabled by the TracklightAdapter. The adapter can be fitted to existing fixtures, allowing event, rental, and production companies already invested in Astera technology to transform their equipment into Connect versions for permanent applications.

The TracklightAdapter integrates the AC power supply into the power compartment, eliminating the battery and visible cables for a clean, elegant luminaire on standard track systems.

QuikBeam was launched at ISE earlier this year. In a statement, the company says, "With its smooth color mixing, crisp CT whites, and extensive color range -- from rich, saturated colors to subtle pastel tones -- QuikBeam Connect can add character and atmosphere to a space and transform its mood when needed."

"We've been asked to develop non-battery luminaires for a while now," says Ben Diaz, head of product management. "We didn't want to simply remove the battery from the QuikBeam. Instead, we wanted to shape the mood of permanent indoor installations with all the well-known Astera features but in a beautiful organic form, so our fixtures participate as meaningful objects in the intended design for the room."

QuikBeam Connect is available in black, white or any RAL-color matte finish, both in EUTRACK MultiAdapter and H-Type versions. It allows locking the pan, tilt, and zoom functions to prevent the fixture's orientation or beam angle from moving accidentally, and it supports the attachment of optional barndoors.
