“In fact it’s close to midnight… With Airstar I make it high noon”
DAYLIGHT CINEMA RANGE
Since the beginning, Airstar has seen the value of offering a number of lighting solutions with both single globe sources (i.e. 1 200W Daylight & 4 000W Daylight) and multi-globe sources within the same envelope, having realized early on the value of offering more light presents greater flexibility.
TUNGSTEN RANGE
Airstar Tungsten products offer you a wide range of possibilities for artificial lighting.
From the small 2K ellipse to giant 20K sphere, we can adapt the shape of the balloon to your needs: Sphere, Ellipse, Tube or Diamond (Cube).
Our most successful light is the 8K Tube.
HYBRID CINEMA RANGE
Mixing tungsten with daylight. This is Airstar’s answer to color-correct the daylight balloons.
Dimming up and down (warming and cooling) the tungsten globes will allow you to decrease or increase the color temperature of your Airstar.
This is an extremely precise and convenient way of making any small or large last-minute adjustments while out on set.
