Astera Lightdrop Spotlight

Astera Lightdrop Spotlight

Astera’s Lightdrop (AX3), which replaces the Lightdrop (AL3-M), has Cree LEDs, Samsung batteries and optional CRMX Wireless DMX from LumenRadio. Equipped with a 15W Cree LED chip with a 13° beam angle, the AX3 is twice as bright as its predecessor. Its diffusor dome lets this spot fixture be used for uplighting, and the fixture also comes with an adjustable bracket. As with the AL3-M, the AX3 has a magnetic underside so it can easily attach to metallic surfaces.

Avolites Light Summerland Tour

LD Richard “Shaggy” Ehmcke relied on an Avolites Titan Mobile console for this year’s Summerland tour by Everclear, Soul Asylum, Eve 6 and Spacehog. The console’s small size and ability to switch out programming for different fixture types is what sold him on the Titan. “I’m not carrying any lights at all, so I’m putting the console itself and my mind through paces. So if today’s an all-LED gig, okay, cool. I’ve got all the LED programming playback stored in the playback pages, so let’s bring that back down and put in some handles, and we’re an LED deck. Last night was 180K of par cans. Cool. All the LED programming goes back into playback storage, and let’s pull out the par can pages, and touch everything up here,” he explained.
