Helios Tube Light Kit

The Astera Helios Tube delivers all the features of the popular Titan Tube in a smaller, more portable format. With 8 pixels, just over half the length of the Titan Tube, and half its brightness, the Helios Tube is the ideal solution for mounting in areas where a Titan Tube wouldn’t fit. Colors and brightness are perfectly matched to those of the Titan Tube, ensuring seamless integration in mixed setups.

Built-in Battery & Seamless Runtime

The Helios Tube features a powerful built-in battery, delivering reliable cordless operation throughout your production. When displaying white light at maximum brightness, the battery lasts 1 hour and 45 minutes. With Astera’s Seamless Runtime technology, you can select a specific runtime duration to ensure your lights never run out of battery mid-production — the system automatically limits output to deliver the maximum possible brightness for the selected duration.

Advanced App Features

• Effects: Quickly build programs from colors and effects, trigger them, match them to a beat, and combine multiple programs and lights into full scenes.
• Talkback+: Detect all available lights, set them up, check their status, and configure DMX addresses and DMX profiles.
• Anti-Theft: When enabled, the integrated theft alarm triggers a visual and audible alert if lights are moved, with the alarm also displayed in the AsteraApp.
• Emergency Light: The Helios Tube can double as a battery-powered emergency light — when activated, it detects power loss and instantly switches to bright white light to illuminate the venue.
