Here is the information about the new products shared by Litepanels:
Weather-Resistant Kits
Built for demanding ENG and outside broadcasts, Astra IP – IP Rated Kits are a complete, weather-resistant lighting setup that includes a rugged, waterproof Pelican case. Available in Duo (two-light) or Trio (three-light) configurations with Astra IP 1×1 or Half fixtures, each kit includes light stands, medium diffusers, power cables, U-bracket adapters, and IP-rated battery brackets supporting V-Mount, Gold Mount, Single BP-U, or Dual BP-U options. Portable and quick to deploy, these all-in-one kits provide reliable performance in any environment, ensuring location crews are always ready to shoot.
Soft Case Kits
Designed for fast-moving crews who need professional output without the bulk, the Astra IP Soft Case Kit delivers a lightweight, two-light setup in a single durable carry case. Available in Half Duo, 1×1 Duo, or Combo Half and 1×1 Duo configurations, each kit includes two fixtures, medium diffusers and essential power cables for rapid setup on location. It combines rugged gear protection with effortless portability, making it the ideal solution for shooting in tight spaces or traveling light.
Pole Operated Yokes
Purpose-built for demanding broadcast studios, the Astra IP Pole Operated Yoke provides quick, precise tilt and pan control of overhead fixtures directly from the floor—eliminating ladders, heavy machinery, and time-consuming re-rigging. Available in models for Astra IP 2×1, 1×1, and Half lights, it pairs a precision CNC brass gearbox for ultra-smooth adjustments with a rugged anodized aluminum frame for permanent grid installations. This secure, safety-focused solution streamlines active productions, allowing operators to make fast, real-time adjustments while maintaining a flexible studio workflow.
Horizontal Mounting Adaptor Bracket
Engineered to unlock unrestricted fixture movement, the Horizontal Battery Adapter Bracket allows IP-rated battery brackets to mount horizontally on the yoke of Astra IP Half, 1×1, and 2×1 lights without restricting tilt angles. By attaching directly to the bracket base before clamping to the yoke, this compact adapter solves clearance issues—enabling full upward and downward rotation while running on battery power.
Flat Diffusers
Astra IP Half, 1×1, and 2×1 fixtures now feature an expanded lineup of Flat Diffusion Panels: Heavy, Medium, Light, Ultra Light, and Super Ultra Light. Joining the original medium diffuser, these panels slide directly into the fixture’s front accessory rails to give operators precise options for beam softening and light control.
