Astera Pixel Brick

About the Astera Pixel Brick

The Astera Pixel Brick is a compact, battery-powered RGBMA LED fixture engineered for professional lighting designers who demand cinema-grade colour accuracy and genuine wireless freedom. Powered by Astera’s acclaimed five-colour LED engine (combining Red, Green, Blue, Mint, and Amber emitters), the Pixel Brick achieves a CRI of ≥96 at 5,600K and an extraordinary tuneable white range spanning 1,750K to 20,000K. Whether you’re matching a candle-warm interior or a crisp daylight exterior, the Pixel Brick hits the mark with precision that satisfies both broadcast and theatrical standards.

At its native 13° beam angle the unit performs as a tight uplight, accent spot, or gobo-free architectural effect straight out of the case. Optional diffusion filters expand coverage to 17° or 30° for softer wash applications, no tools required. Crucially, IP65 weather protection means the Pixel Brick is fully rated for outdoor use in rain and dust, removing the hesitation that comes with deploying wireless battery fixtures at Australian outdoor festivals, garden events, and stadium productions.

Modular Design & Flexible Control

One of the Pixel Brick’s standout features is its magnetic mounting system, which allows multiple units to be connected side-by-side to create seamless pixel bars, corner configurations, or large-format arrays, all without additional rigging hardware. This makes it an exceptionally fast fixture to deploy for architectural installs, stage surrounds, set pieces, and immersive event environments where custom shapes are part of the design brief.

Control is equally versatile. The Pixel Brick supports CRMX wireless DMX, wired DMX, ArtNet over WiFi, and Bluetooth programming via the AsteraApp, giving operators the freedom to choose the control pathway that best suits their infrastructure. With 5 or 10 DMX channel modes available, the fixture integrates cleanly into both simple and complex console environments. Battery runtime ranges from approximately 3 hours at full RGBMA output to over 20 hours in single-colour mode, making it reliable across everything from a short corporate activation to a full-day outdoor festival without a return to the charging PowerBox.

Key Applications

The Pixel Brick is a natural fit across a wide range of professional production contexts. In film and broadcast, its high CRI and wide colour temperature range make it an ideal practical light, table lamp substitute, or hidden set piece that won’t fight the camera. In live events and concerts, its battery-wireless operation enables placement on stage elements, set pieces, and audience-adjacent positions where cabling would be impractical or unsafe. For theatre and immersive experiences, the ability to build custom pixel arrays opens up creative set and scenic lighting possibilities that fixed-format fixtures simply can’t match. Corporate events, galas, and architectural installs all benefit from the unit’s refined colour mixing and sleek, unobtrusive form factor.
