The challenge of lighting for events in high-demand technical productions
In any corporate event, gala dinner or branded experience, lighting needs to do more than just look good, it has to blend into the visual narrative, adapt to the space and perform with technical precision. This is where real challenges begin for event agencies and technical production teams.
Whether it's a fashion show, product launch or institutional dinner, lighting for events must adapt to changing requirements. You need a system that’s easy to program, transport and control without sacrificing power or design.
And of course, time efficiency is always critical. Equipment has to be installed and dismantled quickly, respond to last-minute changes, and meet all technical requirements flawlessly. There’s no room for error.
That’s why compact LED tubes like the Helios Tube, designed to deliver versatility in high-performance environments, offer a real solution to these challenges.
Helios Tube: professional LED lighting for high-performance event environments
Engineered for versatility and precision, the Helios Tube by Astera has become a key reference in LED lighting for events. With a compact format (22.5W over 550mm), it’s ideal for tight spaces or stage designs that need technology to blend discreetly into the background and go with the aesthetic.
From audiovisual productions to corporate events and live shows, this LED tube provides complete control via DMX, CRMX or app, allowing you to create fully customised environments with rich colours, smooth transitions and dynamic lighting scenes. Its built-in battery offers up to 20 hours of autonomy, making it ideal for spaces with limited access to power.
At Novelty Spain, we offer full lighting rental kits featuring Helios Tubes, neatly packed in a durable wheeled case for easy transport and immediate deployment. The integrated PowerBox allows all tubes to be charged directly inside the case or powered externally for long installations using optional Titan Power/Data cables.
Helios is part of Astera’s Hyperion family — a full range of LED tubes that share the same accessory design, ensuring 100% compatibility across models. This makes it easy to integrate various formats into a single setup while optimising transport and accessory usage.
The combination of power, portability and control makes the Helios Tube a must-have in our portfolio of lighting for events solutions.
Professional applications of the Helios Tube Kit with PowerBox
Having a Helios Tube Kit with PowerBox opens up a wide range of creative and technical possibilities for all kinds of events. At Novelty Spain, we’ve chosen to integrate this compact format into our operations specifically for its flexibility, mobility and reliability in settings where precision and speed are essential.
Thanks to the integrated PowerBox, the tubes can be charged directly within the protective case, speeding up both prep time and setup. When longer installations are required, the PowerBox can be removed to power the tubes externally using Titan Power/Data cables, allowing optimal energy and data distribution in complex environments.
So, how can this kit be used in real-life event scenarios?
-
Gala dinners and corporate presentations: The tubes are used as part of the ambient lighting design. Their discreet format allows you to add accent lighting without interfering with décor or visibility — ideal for emotional branding and welcome paths.
-
Trade shows and experiential retail: Multiple synchronised tubes can create immersive effects or themed zones, making way for storytelling and visual impact in high-traffic environments.
-
Outdoor shoots and location filming: Battery autonomy and a wheeled case make this the ideal solution for shoots that don’t have direct power access, without compromising on color control or brightness.
-
Fashion shows and artistic experiences: Create choreographed lighting effects that sync with sound or movement, adding visual dynamism without the need for heavy rigging or intrusive cabling.
-
Hybrid events and live broadcasts: The system offers stable, discreet and mobile setups. This is perfect for handheld cameras, hybrid sets or temporary studios.
