Quick Start 

This rugged spotlamp is made for uncomplicated event illumination and for decorative light-
ing.  Due  to its integrated  battery  and wireless  module  it  can be quickly  set  up.  The  AL7-W 
can be used as standalone unit that is controlled with its integrated control pad or with the 
ARC2 Remote Control. For a larger setup, the AL7-W can be grouped  and paired with other 
Astera wireless lamps and can be integrated into DMX setups.

 

 
To start the AL7, hold first and fourth button for 3 seconds. To power the unit off, press the 
same buttons shortly. 
 
The AL7-W can display basic programs (light effects) which can later be customized with dif-
ferent colors,  speed, fade, brightness etc. To change the displayed program press the PROG 
button,  select  a program  with  +  and  –  and  confirm  with  ENTER.  To  Change  colors  of  a  pro-
gram press the COLOR button, then use + and – to select any of the 4 color chanels you want 
to change, select a color and confirm with ENTER. To change speed and brightness, press the 
respective buttons, select a value and confirm with ENTER. These functions are only possible 
when at the main navigation and NOT when inside the menu.

 

 
It  is  also  possible,  to  synchronize  several  units,  and  to  spread  programs  over  more  than  1 
unit. So for example the RAINBOW effect will be stretched over two or more units. 
The AL7-W is suitable for  shopping window, house, party, hotel, display room...Illuminating 
walls, curtains and objects in the room.

 

 
Most advanced functions can be found inside the menu (see Chapter 6) 

4.1   Advantages 

Wireless design --- The AL7-W is easy for installation due to its integrated battery and RF re-
ceiver.

 

 
Smart programing
 --- The AL7-W not only displays complex color-changing programs but also 
gives you the possibility to use your own customized colors for these programs. The AL7-W 
can be used as a standalone unit or grouped and paired with other Astera lamps and be con-
trolled with an ARC2 RF Remote Control.

 

 

Energy saving design --- Low working voltage, low power consumption and additional white 
LEDs helps to save up to 80% energy so it can reach a maximum operation time of up to 24 
hours.
