Built for both the studio and the street, Astra IP 1x1 Bi-Color LED Light Panel from Litepanels is a portable and rugged light optimized for all shooting environments. Weighing less than 10 lb, the light packs its powerful output into a compact 17 x 16.8 x 4.3" frame. Adjustable from 2700 to 6500K, the light's color accuracy, rated at 95 for both CRI and TLCI, adds a natural and flattering quality to its raw power. The panel is easy to control with integrated Bluetooth, an optional DMX module for advanced setups, and a dual-dial system with a clear LCD screen for onboard adjustments.

The Astra IP 1x1 comes with a standard yoke for mounting but is lightweight enough to be handheld. A diffusion panel is also included for further light modification. The optional battery mounts, available separately, are weatherproof for additional off-the-grid versatility.

Q: 1. I own 4 of these and have a shoot coming up where the only power source will be my car. How can I power the Astra from the 12V cigarette lighter?

A: This light is approximately 100w. You will need to check your cars 12v port power rating. Most likely you will need a inverter connected directly to your cars battery. Make sure to check your cars batteries watt hour rating. You will want to make sure not to push it so low as to get stranded. Using a inverter that is at least double the power that you need will give you the best efficiency. For 4x Astras you would want to look at a 1k range inverter.
