The Astera Helios Tube 8-way Kit is built for crews who want the creative flexibility of Astera tubes in a shorter, more compact format. Each Helios Tube is 550 mm long (around 1.8 ft) and uses Astera’s Titan LED Engine with RGBMintAmber colour mixing, giving you clean, controllable colour in tight spaces where longer tubes are impractical.
For white light, Helios offers a wide 1,750 K to 20,000 K range. Colour rendering is specified at CRI (Ra) and TLCI of at least 96 from 3,200 K to 6,500 K, which suits camera work where skin tones and product colour need to hold up reliably.Control is flexible for both quick turnarounds and larger systems. Each tube has a built-in CRMX receiver and supports wireless control (CRMX and UHF). Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity is available on Helios BTB versions, which is relevant for app-based control. The PowerBox also supports wired setups for charging and data distribution when you need a more permanent or console-led workflow.
The kit includes eight Helios Tubes, a PowerBox, a charging and transport case, floor stands, and mounting hardware including holders, baby pins and eye bolts. This lets you go straight from truck to set, rigging the tubes into scenery, corners, vehicle interiors, compact stages and exhibition builds, or leaving them visible as a deliberate design element.For touring-style corporate shows and multi-day conferences, the case-based charging keeps turnarounds simple. Tubes can run for extended periods on internal battery power and recharge in the case between calls. If you need a lighting toolkit that can be subtle one moment and highly visible the next, Astera Helios Tube 8-way Kit hire is a smart choice. Share your floorplans and shot list with AV Productions and we’ll help you deploy Helios as part of a broader lighting package for film, broadcast, exhibitions or live events.
