To change colors, click any of the C1 – C4 buttons to change their color. This only works while
in the direct control tab.
Note: Not all programs use all 4 colors (C1-C4). For example the program called TWO COLOR
STATIC uses only 2 colors so half of the pixels will be in C1 and the other half in C2.

Adjustments
The programs you have chosen can be further adjusted in fade, speed and brightness.
Simply click fade, speed or the brightness button and use the + and – button to change their
values. This only works while in the direct control tab.
Fade:
Sets fading transitions between steps of the program in amount of the step-time. If set to
0%, there will be no fading at all, the color will be switched at once. If set to 100%, the
color change will go smoothly from one to the other color. Any value in between will be a
mix of these two settings.
Speed:
Changes the speed of the program. A time between 0,09 seconds and 9 minutes and 21
seconds can be set. This time reflects the duration of the selected program.
Note: With the change of speed you might get the units out of sync. In order to
re-sync press the Send key or change the program (Chapter 4.b)
Brightness: You can select the Brightness Intensity or the Power Scheme of the lamp. Both are
strongly affecting the battery runtime of the lamps. Choose INTENSITY to change the brightness of
the LEDs between 0% and 100% in intervals of 10%. Choose Power Scheme to adjust the overall
power scheme of the lamp between HIGH-BRIGHTNESS, NORMAL and MAXIMISE RUNTIME. When
choosing high-brightness, the LEDs are about 30% brighter but the battery will drain faster. In
maximise runtime the LEDs are less bright but the fixture can be used well over 10 hours.
Attention: Battery runtime of all the Astera lamps is stated for the Normal power
scheme. Altering the power scheme will lead to different battery runtime.
Note: New Astera fixtures and ARC2s are set to HIGH BRIGHTNESS. Also, after a factory reset
they will switch back to HIGH BRIGHTNESS.
