Introduction

The Auroris is a full-color overhead light source that combines high-quality color rendition and precision control in one sleek, easy-to-use package. Powered by LiteGear’s Spectrum technology, Auroris X is built with 24 large format pixels (Auroris V with 12 large format pixels), creating a pixel- mappable source that can cover a 100-square-foot area from a single fixture. Designed to be lightweight and easy to rig, Auroris is one of the slimmest, most versatile soft lights ever invented.
With Auroris, low ceilings and insufficient rigging points are no longer an obstacle. We built LiteGear’s legendary lighting quality into a low-profile system that weighs 30% less than other available rigs. This makes Auroris the ideal lighting solution for everything from a re-purposed warehouse to a large sound stage and everything in between.
