Lightpanels Astra 1x1 EP Bi-Color LED Panel
The Lightpanels Astra 1x1 EP Bi-Color LED Panel with its mid-range intensity level builds on the legacy of the original 1x1 fixture, which revolutionized the lighting industry. This innovative daylight to tungsten tunable color model was years in the making, with every design element of this next generation panel being meticulously crafted. Following the Litepanels tradition of a one square foot form factor, the ASTRA series is designed with select premium quality, high CRI, surface mount LEDs and paired with custom designed TIR optics.
Tightly binned LEDs and fine-tuned optics provide the ASTRA 1x1 EP BI-Color LED Panel light with superior color reproduction and a light output that is 2x brighter than traditional LED panels. This higher intensity results in a longer throw and illuminates a wider area, which allows the panel to compete with strong exterior light sources or illuminate a large area effectively with just a single fixture.
Per Litepanels, the output of the Astra 1x1 EP Bi-Color LED Panel can be compared to a 1000W soft light. It produces up to 291 footcandles at 5 feet (1.5 m) with a maximum power draw of 55W.
