The light can be controlled in several ways: 

 

Use Astera’s ARC1 

infrared remote control, point it at individual lights and 

press the desired effect. Note that the IR sensor is on the back side next to the 
display. 
 

  

T

he AsteraApp™ 

is an efficient way to quickly create a customized light 

show. It can group several lights together, address individual lights or groups 
of lights, and send complex effects with a user defined color palette to all 
lights in range. For additional information refer to chapter 8. 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 

The light can be controlled via DMX or Ethernet cable when connected to 
the PowerBox (see chapter 4.5).  
 
The light can also be controlled by wireless DMX, the built-in receiver is 
compatible with all LumenRadio* CRMX transmitters as well as W-

DMX™

* G2, 

G3, G4 and G4S transmitters (G4 and G4S in 2.4 GHz mode only). 
 

 
 

Power the light on/off, set a static color or change its settings. 

 

*CRMX is a trademark of LumenRadio AB, W-DMX is a trademark of Wireless Solutions Sweden AB

ARC1 

The light can be controlled by the infrared remote control if: 

 

INPUT SELECT is set to AUTO or REMOTE CONTROL (refer to chapter 7.12)

 

The light is currently NOT operated by DMX. If it is, only ON and OFF will work while 
INPUT SELECT is set to AUTO. 

 

The ARC1 is very handy to switch several lights on or off at a time. The ARC1 can also accept 
configuration commands that are sent from the AsteraApp

 to a light by pressing the 

POWER ON button.
