Go-to Light

One of my go to lights when I need LED light to fill a space. Not the most controllable but good bang for the buck. Perfect for small interview set-ups.

Astra is a solid, inexpensive panel light.

The 6x is a great, simple light. It's bright, pretty color accurate and very light. The history of Astras though is checkered with problems with issues with the switch failing. Whatever you do, when powering an Astra, make sure it is dimmed completely before striking and dim it back down when shutting off. Trust me, it's worth you not shipping the light to Vitec to fix after the warranty expires.

The industry standard for a reason.

I've already used and rented it out on several shoots three weeks since buying it. This thing is a powerhouse: equal intensity regardless of color temperature, jump between AC and D Tap quickly and efficiently, and light enough to sling on your back on a fast-paced shoot. I cannot say enough for this light. I've loved it since first shooting with it in 2018.

Only one Bluetooth module

The lights are awesome, but I misunderstood the offer. I assumed the two light kit with two stands came with two Bluetooth modules, but for some silly reason it only came with one Bluetooth module. I feel it is sort of deceptive how they list it to seem that both lights have Bluetooth capability. Just be warmed it is only one Bluetooth module.

Note that the two lights come with only one Bluetooth module

I guess I misunderstood what I was getting because it is a bit misleading. I thought I was getting two Astras with stands and Bluetooth modules. However, upon receipt I realize it only includes one Bluetooth module, which seems silly to send one module for a two light kit. Ugh! I love the lights, but I am disappointed they didn’t both come with BT Modules.

Great lights in a small package

These are great lights...color is correct and variable. Great power out of such small lights. I only wish a few things came standard, like battery adapters and diffusion options. Seems like they could onclude some of this when paying premium light rates.

Love them when they work, but failure rate is high

The Astras are great when you first get them, but they completely fail for no reason after mild, ordinary use. Mine have been stored in a pelican case and taken care of extremely well, but they continue to have issues. One flickers really bad, and another has completely crapped out. Gaffer friends here in NC have the same issues. The issue really needs to be addressed and repaired under a recall.

If you’re looking for led panels the Astra 6x light panels are the best deal.

Built well and super bright. I want to buy two more. The snapbag soft box is the best led softbox I’ve used.

You Get What You Pay For

I was considering buying cheaper LED panels, but after reading 100's of reviews, watching YouTube videos and investing HOURS of research I decided to go with these. Yeah, they're more expensive, but they're the best. They're workhorses that won't let you down on set. I can't afford failure and after years of professional production work, when I finally decided to pull the trigger on buying my own panels, these were the ones I picked.

The Allrounder

These are the most flexible lights out there. Powerful and color-accurate. Just make sure you have good batteries to power them.

Excellent Small Source

The color rendition on these are very good. Much better than the 4x Astra lights(less greens). They do seem about as bright as a 400 Joker but without the throw. Never get hot either. These are great as a quick portable to light your scenes. I use a few of these when I need to move quickly and move lights around. I believe for what you get out them they provide quite a bit of value.

One of my go to lights when I need LED light to fill a space. Not the most controllable but good bang for the buck. Perfect for small interview set-ups.

The Astra 6X Bi-Color Next Generation LED Light Panel represents the pinnacle of lighting innovation, building upon the esteemed legacy of the Astra 1x1 Family. This state-of-the-art LED panel is the result of years of dedicated research and development, with every aspect being finely tuned for optimal performance. Adhering to Litepanels' iconic one square foot form factor, the Astra series is meticulously engineered with select, premium quality, high Color Rendering Index (CRI) surface mount LEDs. These are coupled with bespoke optics, ensuring the Astra 6X series delivers exceptional color fidelity and accuracy, ideal for professional photography and videography lighting.

Boasting an extraordinary output, the Astra 6X is now 50% brighter than its predecessor, making it six times more luminous than the original 1x1 model. This remarkable increase in intensity ensures a more extended throw and a broader illumination range, enabling this single fixture to hold its own against potent external light sources or to effectively light vast areas with ease.

Durable and high-quality, the Astra 6X Bi-Color panel is a versatile and portable lighting solution that offers adjustable color temperatures to match any shooting condition. The included Litepanels V-Mount Battery Bracket enhances its portability, allowing for on-the-go power options, while the Flashpoint Pro Air Cushioned Heavy Duty Light Stand extends up to 9.5 feet, providing stable and adjustable support for any lighting setup.

Photographers and videographers seeking a reliable, high-quality lighting system will find the Astra 6X Bi-Color LED Light Panel bundle an invaluable addition to their gear.
