Astera took part in ISE 2026 to offer a preview of its upcoming launch, which was unveiled during the show at its booth. In addition, the company showcased other standout products, such as the recently launched Quik family, consisting of the QuikSpot and QuikPunch luminaires.
QuikSpot is a battery-powered uplighter introduced by Astera in 2025, featuring a precise zoomable Fresnel lens and an adjustable beam angle from 13 to 60 degrees. It also serves as a compact and versatile spotlight. QuikPunch is also a wireless spotlight with a Fresnel lens and higher output, delivering an impressive 8,000 lux at 3 metres while consuming only 75W of power, roughly equivalent to 650W. Since their release, both Quik models have become a popular choice across multiple lighting sectors – film, broadcast, television, events and music shows – and a big hit with rental companies.
Last year also saw the launch of the SolaBulb, the latest addition to Astera’s Bulb family, which includes NYXBulb and LunaBulb. SolaBulb is a zoomable LED bulb with an adjustable 15 to 50-degree beam, offering both spotlight and wide-angle effects, as well as a refined PAR20 Fresnel lens. Equivalent to a 50W tungsten PAR bulb, its optical design provides an attractive architectural and scenic look, with the level of detail needed to light a wide variety of environments.
And, of course, Astera’s legendary Tubes were on display — Titan, Helios and Hyperion — the products that helped establish Astera as a leading name in LED manufacturing within the industry. In addition, the booth showcased numerous smart solutions from Astera, reflecting the brand’s commitment to staying ahead of the curve and providing added value to lighting professionals, in a context where demands continue to grow for adaptability, flexibility and multi-purpose use.
Alongside its flagship battery-powered and remote-controlled lighting ranges, the products on display illustrated Astera’s wider ecosystem and its compatibility and continuity across all lines. Also highlighted was the broad range of essential accessories and control options that enhance workflow efficiency and boost creativity.
Astera viewed ISE as a key platform and meeting point for professionals in audiovisual, lighting and systems integration. For this reason, maintaining a strong presence was important both to connect with new and existing clients and to strengthen relationships with partners, distributors, creatives and end users from around the world.
For Astera, ISE was much more than a simple product showcase. As an industry networking hub, the show was valuable for gathering feedback on current products and generating ideas for future development and research. The clean and modern booth design reflected Astera’s contemporary brand image and presented the products in a practical, application-focused context for all sectors of entertainment technology. The demonstration areas allowed visitors to see the luminaires up close and engage in in-depth conversations with product specialists.
The strategic timing of ISE at the start of the year was another major advantage, as it made it easier for many professionals to attend. In addition, it helped shape the calendar of future launches and activations throughout the year, serving as an ideal starting point for long-term campaigns and planning.
