The Italian brand Prolights has created the amazing HaluPix Duo luminaire, a dual-layer (pixel/beam) LED panel fixture that is highly effective and extremely well designed. Fabio Sorabella, CEO of Prolights, presents the HaluPix Duo in this video.
The concept of the hybrid luminaire is not new and has been frequently tried in both moving heads and static fixtures, but Prolights has really nailed it with this new panel that combines a matrix of RGBWW pixels with another matrix of warm white beam sources… But the innovation doesn’t stop there! Let’s take a closer look.
The HaluPix Duo is the result of combining a HaluPix fixture (which has been in the catalogue for several years) and a LED video screen matrix (24 mm pitch), all integrated into a 50 × 50 cm panel.
The density of RGBW pixels is high enough (441 pixels per module) to make it a proper display surface for elaborate media, with some pixels even at the centre of the larger sources of the second LED matrix.
In fact, the beam source consists of 49 warm white (2700 K) LED sources, each with a collimated beam angle of 4°. The result is a truly hybrid fixture that can be used for live events as well as for applications more oriented towards TV and video production.
One of the strong points of the HaluPix Duo is its modularity. It’s designed to be installed in the same way as a video screen, with the same type of rapid fasteners, but also incorporating a conventional yoke for hanging its 16 kg from a 50 mm tube. It also features a spigot mount.
What’s more, it has a built-in system for adjusting the tilt angle (-15/+10°), so there’s no need for optional accessories for any application other than floor deployment – a welcome surprise!
If we take a closer look at how it works, we discover that the two matrices can be controlled completely independently with two separate DMX addresses. The most basic mode only requires 12 channels for control, while in full pixel-by-pixel mode, the HaluPix Duo offers 1,855 control parameters. Media server and network connection are indispensable!
Power consumption is limited to a total of 500 W. However, depending on the mode and internal configuration chosen, the brightness of the beam array can be increased if the other LED matrix is not used, or is used infrequently.
To complete the list of features of this fixture, which already boasts three patents, it is IP65-rated and has no active ventilation, so it operates in complete silence! A fine track record for this luminaire.

Astra Hybrid 260IP with laser source
Weighing just 34 kg, this moving-head fixture is equipped with a state-of-the-art phosphor laser source and stands out thanks to its ultra-concentrated and practically parallel beam.
Its declared minimum beam divergence is, in fact, 0.6°! As a fully equipped moving head, it is fitted with CMY colour mixing, supplemented by two colour wheels. It can project no less than 41 gobos (29 fixed, 12 rotating), and the beam can be multiplied through eight rotating prisms on two separate wheels, as well as diffused through a pair of frost filters.
True to its “hybrid” label, it has a zoom to that can narrow the beam to a spotlight aperture or open it up to 52°, at the cost of a reduction in illuminance, which by the way is perfectly normal given the moderate power of the source.
Built for effects, with the added benefit of infinite pan/tilt rotation functions, the Astra Hybrid 260 IP won’t flinch when used outdoors, thanks to its magnesium alloy casing, which prevents the entry of liquids and solids up to an IP65 rating.
The final eye-catching feature is the retractable handles on the yoke arms, a simple but highly effective idea.
Jet Profile 300 LT
The 300 LT is a full-featured profile fixture for small- to medium-sized applications, equipped with a 300 W / 6500 K LED source. Featuring all the high-end bells and whistles, it boasts a module with four motorised, rotating framing shutters, a 4/44° zoom, CMY colour mixing with additional an CTO channel and a supplementary colour wheel, as well as rotating and static gobo wheels, an effects wheel, two rotating prisms and a variable frost. All this is packed into a unit weighing around 20 kg and with less than 500 W of peak power draw.
Astra Profile 900
Finally, the Astra Profile 900 is the most powerful of Prolights’ new products so far in 2025. This profile moving head is equipped with a 1,000 W-rated LED driven at a maximum of 900 W to preserve its performance and lifespan. Its wide range of effects, gobos, CMY colour mixing and power (43,000 lumens maximum) are ideal for medium- and long-throw applications. The fixture is equipped with the new Prolights ‘MotiOs’ system, which ensures greater precision of the fixture’s motors and absolutely identical operation after calibration of the same group of fixtures.
