Halo extends Astera inventory
- Details
The company’s recent investment into Astera products, including Titan Tubes and AX3 LightDrops, resulted from business actually expanding during this time as new opportunities presented themselves.
The first Titan Tubes arrived in March 2021 and were for lighting in the company’s pop-up streaming studio which was built in part of the warehouse and busy throughout the lockdown period. “More and more clients booking the space for their streams, recordings and video shoots were asking for Asteras, so we decided to buy some,” declared Yann.
They soon needed more Asteras as they proved to be one of the most popular livestream eye-candy effects, and the current stock comprises seven 8-way sets of Titan Tubes, four sets of the 4-way 2m Hyperion Tubes and two 8-way cases of AX3 LightDrops.
As ‘post’ pandemic activity has started to gather momentum, Alex Allen has joined the Halo team as head of rental / hires. “Initially, the Astera Tubes were being requested mainly for studio work and effects,” he commented, but as more and more businesses have been re-starting with live shows and events as the pandemic regulations eased, the demand has also risen for the Tubes in particular to be used by film and video shoots.
“They are such great all-round, versatile products that are usable in a number of different scenarios.”
Halo also looks after the technical needs / maintenance of several venues in the UK capital, where Titan Tubes are again deployed.
Yann also highlights the importance of the distributor - in this case Ambersphere Solutions - in the whole brand investment equation, and the “great service” that they provide for Astera.
In the last month, as shows and events ramp up, Halo again expanded its Astera inventory for the third time this year, with the purchase of an 8-way PixelBrick set complete with accessories, plus another three 8-way cases of Titan Tubes and another three of Hyperion Tubes.
