Astera has released compact spotlight QuikBeam, designed to deliver defined beams for uplighting, accents and feature highlighting.
The latest addition to its Quik family of focusing LED Fresnels, the spotlight measures 136mm x 120mm and weighs 1617g.
Quikbeam offers an equivalent power of a 200W tungsten and features a 13°-60° Fresnel-based zoom, swappable QuikBrick batteries, and built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE), alongside a new HotBeam function to push beyond 13°. The fixture includes 3/8″ and 1/4″ built-in threads and a removable yoke, with integrated AirlineTrack for tripod or truss mounting (via 28/16 TrackSpigot). Control options include built-in CRMX, wireless DMX, the Astera app, UHF connectivity, infrared remote control, or web interface.
Users can choose from three charging methods: via PoE while wired in the fixture, within the optional ChargingDock (charges up to 4 QuikBricks at once), or through its USB-C port. For hardwired applications, users can connect QuikBeam up to 100 metres from the PowerInjector or IP65 NetBox, which enables 4 PoE EtherCON outputs and PrepBox functionality. QuikBeam combines power and data in a single cable, supporting standard sACN and ArtNet signals. The IP65-rated fixture works with existing PoE switches and the battery charges when connected.
Driven by Astera’s Titan LED Engine, QuikBeam provides RGBMA colour rendering that matches across all Astera products.
The QuikBeam includes a range of accessories for shaping light. Lightweight barndoors allow for precise control, while an EdgeSoftener filter softens the beam to mimic a traditional Fresnel falloff. A rotatable elliptical filter can also be fitted, changing the circular beam into an adjustable ellipse for architectural or selective lighting applications.
Multiple unit flight cases will be available via Astera distributors. QuikBeam is available as a 4-unit kit with NetBox and accessories or in a 2-unit backpack suited for smaller production needs.
