[Circle] Amazing lights with lots of features and ways to use them.

[Circle] This is a fantastic addition to my GVM COB light. I love the control it provides. To be able to spot in the light or flood it out depending on the scene is very helpful. This COB light already provides a lot of light, but adding a Fresnel pushes the intensity even more. According to GVM 10x more brighter with the Fresnel on. The specs say with the GVM SD300d, it goes from 35,000 Lux at 1m with it flooded (40 degree) to 40,900 Lux at 1m with it spotted (10 degree) and I believe it. My GVM COB light really pops with it on. If you've worked with Fresnel lenses you know how beneficial they can be, so having it as an adapter is fantastic. Meaning you can put it on or take it off whenever needed. This adds so much versatility to your COB lights. And since it is Bowens mount, it can fit most other lights with that standard mount. The build quality is also very impressive, especially at this price. It feels very well made and the mount seems strong. It comes with a rubber like material around the barrel which helps with grabbing to twist and reduces any heat you would feel spotting or flooding the light. The Fresnel attaches easily and securely, and the twisting mechanism to spot or flood is smooth. I'm very happy with this Fresnel adapter. It is very helpful and adds a significant amount of brightness to the light and also control.

[Circle] Fast, no-frills access to basic Astera lighting functions. Depending on the setting, the only potential gotcha is that the IR signal can reflect off of nearby surfaces and activate other Astera lights in the vicinity (like any remote control).

[Circle] for the price and functionality, no brainer!

[Circle] Perfect for starting the day by turning infinite amount of titan tubes in seconds...

[Circle] Best versatile light,good for photography and videos and it also pairs good with the godox tl60 tube lights and could be paired with the godox remote

[Circle] I love the features, I love the brightness, I love the bluetooth, I am very happy with what it does.


The main thing bugging me is the big handle for the yoke. Big pro lights have those, but I feel like this has it just to look pro, but not to be pro. The long handle is there to give leverage when tightening or loosening, but I feel like this has too much plastic to make that leverage safe in the long term. I'm leaving it at 5 stars and may update it if something actually happens, but that's my first impression.


I also don't prefer the big handle because it sticks out awkwardly in my lighting case eating up valuable space. To be fair, the included case is perfectly decent, but I wouldn't send it through TSA or anything like that.

[Circle] Love these lights, there are endless possibilities with them. Color matching is on point, fully programmable, easy to travel with, and charging is super easy with the case. Super easy to dial everything in using the app so make sure to get that ART7 box too so you have full remote control. Cant recommend them enough!!
