Litepanels Astra IP Half Traveler Trio Kit with Gold and V-Mount Plates (3 Lights)

The Litepanels Astra IP Half Traveler Trio Kit with Gold and V-Mount Plates includes three Astra IP Half Bi-Color LED Light Panels, three medium diffusers, three Gold mount battery adapter plates, three V-mount battery adapter plates, three mounting plates, three 83″ lighting stands, and a rugged, custom-designed, cut-foam Pelican case for transporting the entire kit.

What is very interesting is that the kit comes with both V-mount and Gold Mount battery plates so depending on where you are working in the world or what your preference may be, you are covered.

Yes, the price is pretty high, but it is good to see some lighting companies still making kits that include everything you need. For broadcast, docs, and for those users who travel a lot, these types of kits make a lot of sense.

The Litepanels Astra IP Half Bi-Color LED Light Panel is useful for small spaces and low ceilings. The lightest in the Astra IP series at 6.2 pounds, the light features quite a lot of output packed into a compact 17 x 12.1 x 4.2″ frame.

Below you can see the claimed output figures:

30° at 3200K:
1170 fc / 12,589 Lux at 3.3′ / 1 m (Unmodified)
130 fc / 1398 Lux at 9.8′ / 3 m (Unmodified)
30° at 5600K:
1254 fc / 13,493 Lux at 3.3′ / 1 m (Unmodified)
139 fc / 1495 Lux at 9.8′ / 3 m (Unmodified)

This claimed output is pretty impressive given the light’s output of 63W. This low power draw allows the lights to be powered for long periods of time from flight-safe camera batteries.

It is CCT adjustable from 2700 to 6500K, and the light has claimed 95 CRI and TLCI color accuracy ratings. 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.

Each panel weighs 6.2 lb / 2.8 kg (Overall Kit with Yoke).

The Astra IP Half 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.
