LDR has introduced the ASTRO 100, a compact yet high-performance LED followspot designed to meet the lighting demands of confined spaces without compromising on output or efficiency. With its lightweight and portable build, this 100W LED followspot is an ideal solution for amateur theatres, school stages, clubs, conference rooms, houses of worship, and small live events, offering a powerful and precise beam in a minimal footprint.

Crafted from extruded aluminium and sheet steel, the ASTRO 100 ensures both durability and ease of handling. Its steel mounting bracket and tripod attachment allow for quick and stable positioning, making it a practical choice for dynamic lighting applications. Despite its small size, the ASTRO 100 delivers exceptional luminous output with a well-defined, uniform beam. The double-condenser optics guarantee even light distribution, eliminating unwanted shadows and ensuring professional-grade projection. With a variable beam angle from 10° to 28°, the followspot is well-suited for short-throw applications ranging from 2 to 10 metres, adapting flexibly to different stage requirements.

Equipped with a high-efficiency 100W LED light source available in 3200K or 5600K white, the ASTRO 100 ensures superior colour rendering with a CRI of over 90, allowing for natural and vibrant reproduction of skin tones and stage elements. Its energy-efficient design, with a maximum power consumption of just 100W, significantly reduces operational costs while delivering intense illumination with minimal waste. The 16-bit dimming system enables smooth and precise transitions, whether controlled via DMX or manually adjusted from the rear panel. Thanks to Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology, dimming is entirely flicker-free, making the ASTRO 100 an excellent choice for video recording and broadcast applications. Additionally, an intelligent fan control system adjusts speed based on temperature, ensuring quiet and reliable operation even in acoustically sensitive environments.

Designed for versatility, the ASTRO 100 is also available in an RGBW version, offering expanded creative possibilities with dynamic colour effects. A white-finish version is also available for those seeking a more discreet aesthetic. The followspot comes as a complete package, including an iris diaphragm for beam control, a 28mm tripod spigot, and a 2-metre Power-Con mains cable. Additional accessories such as shutter blades and filters further enhance its functionality, catering to a wide range of professional lighting needs.

For those in search of a followspot that balances compact design, powerful light output, and optimised energy consumption, the ASTRO 100 stands out as a professional-grade solution. Designed with longevity and reliability in mind, it delivers outstanding performance across various applications. Described as “agile, powerful, and efficient,” the ASTRO 100 embodies LDR’s commitment to providing cutting-edge lighting technology that meets the evolving needs of the industry.
