Programmable LED lighting strip providing pixel-by-pixel color control and dynamic effects for creative lighting applications.

Technical Details

Each INFINIBAR measures 1,030 × 35 × 35 mm with a weight of 1.8 kg and consumes a maximum of 72 watts. The 256 SK6812 LEDs are divided into 16 pixel zones, enabling complex color gradients and animations. The anodized aluminum housing achieves IP54 protection rating. Control is via DMX512, Art-Net, sACN, or the Sidus Link App via Bluetooth. Four units can be seamlessly connected in a daisy-chain using a proprietary magnetic system. The internal battery offers a runtime of 70 minutes at 50% brightness; alternatively, power is supplied via V-Mount batteries or a power adapter.

History & Development

Aputure launched the INFINIBAR in October 2021. In 2023, the INFINIBAR 4-Light Kit followed with extended wireless range and optimized diffusers.

Practical Use in Film

Accent lighting in confined spaces, practical lighting in vehicles, simulation of neon tubes and LED strips. Four units create a four-meter continuous light surface. Used for background lighting, color washing of walls, or integration into set decoration. The low power consumption makes them suitable for run-and-gun productions.

Comparison & Alternatives

Main competitors: Astera TitanTube and Quasar Science Q-LED. INFINIBAR offers a magnetic connection system and 16-pixel division, while TitanTubes have 8 pixels and a higher protection rating (IP65). For higher light output: Kino Flo FreeStyle. For precise pixel control: Arri SkyPanel or LED walls. Budget alternatives: Godox or Neewer RGB tubes without professional color rendering and modular connectivity.
