NANLUX has become a trusted name in professional LED lighting, known for durable and color-accurate spotlights like the Evoke 1200 and Evoke 900C. At IBC 2025, the company unveiled its latest additions, the Evoke 600C and Evoke 150C. Both lights feature the new Nebula C8 color light engine, an advanced 8-chip design that delivers brighter output, smoother blending, and more natural skin tones.
The Evoke 600C is built for larger productions that demand high power and flexibility, while the compact Evoke 150C is designed for creators who need a lightweight but professional light for travel, outdoor shoots, or small studios. Together, they bring cinema-quality performance in rugged, portable packages, giving filmmakers, photographers, and content creators more control over their lighting setups than ever before.
What is the Nebula C8 Light Engine?
Adding More Colors for Better Light Blend
Nebula C8 uses eight LED colors: Deep Red, Red, Amber, Lime, Green, Cyan, Blue, Indigo. Because of these extra colors, it fills the gaps left by older light engines that had fewer LED chips. This makes colors blend smoother and look more natural.
Wide Color Temperature Range + Clean Skin Tones
These lights let you tune colors from 1,000K to 20,000K. That’s a huge span, from the warmth of candlelight up to very blue light. You also get ±200 green/magenta adjustment, so you can fix color cast problems in lighting. Deep red and indigo LEDs improve how skin tones look, making tones richer and more realistic.
Built Safely Without UV Risk
Even though there is an indigo LED, NANLUX designed it so it does not produce ultraviolet light below 400 nm. That helps protect eyes and skin during long shoots.
Features of the NANLUX Evoke 600C
1. Power and Brightness for Large Productions
The Evoke 600C is designed for big sets and demanding lighting needs. At 5,600K with a 25-degree reflector, it produces about 24,620 lux at one meter. To put this in perspective, that’s bright enough to act as a strong key light in film production or to light up larger areas during commercial shoots.
It draws about 600 watts of power and can run on both AC and DC inputs. This flexibility makes it useful both in studios with reliable power and on location where batteries are often needed.
2. Strong Build and Weather Resistance
The body is made of magnesium alloy, which is both lightweight and durable. It’s IP-rated IP66, meaning it is protected against heavy dust and even rain. For outdoor filmmakers and crews who shoot in changing weather, this is a big advantage since not all professional LED lights are weather-sealed.
3. Mount and Accessory Support
The BE-mount system on the Evoke 600C works with a wide variety of modifiers. It is compatible with reflectors, Bowens-mount accessories, and advanced add-ons like motorized Fresnel lenses. The mount can even detect which accessory is attached, automatically adjusting settings for more accurate performance.
4. Flexible Control Options
Control is one of the Evoke 600C’s biggest strengths. Users can operate it in multiple ways:
- Onboard screen and controls
- Wired controller
- NANLUX Nanlink App (via Bluetooth)
- DMX and RDM (for professional lighting boards)
- CRMX wireless (for wireless control on set)
- Art-Net and sACN (for network-based control)
This makes it ideal for both solo shooters who just want to use the app and big film crews who integrate lights into full DMX setups.
5. Color Accuracy and Dimming
The Evoke 600C scores a CRI of 96 and a TLCI of 97, which means it reproduces colors faithfully on camera. It also achieves excellent TM-30 results, with Rf (fidelity) at 96 and Rg (gamut) at 100, proving it can handle a wide spectrum of shades without shifts.
It also offers smooth dimming from 0.1 to 100 percent, which is essential for cinema work where sudden jumps in brightness can ruin a shot.
Features of the NANLUX Evoke 150C
1. Compact Size with Strong Output
The Evoke 150C is designed for creators who need something lighter and easier to carry. It weighs only 2.65 kg with the yoke but still produces around 22,230 lux at one meter at 5,600K with a 45-degree reflector. For its size, this is extremely bright, making it a perfect option for interviews, small studio setups, or documentary shoots in the field.
2. Durable and Weather-Proof
Like the 600C, the 150C is also made with magnesium alloy and carries an IP66 rating. This means it is just as tough in outdoor environments, giving creators confidence that it won’t fail in dusty or rainy conditions.
3. Control and Special Effects
The Evoke 150C has a built-in 2-inch screen with buttons and knobs for quick changes. It can also connect to the Nanlink App, wired controllers, DMX, RDM, CRMX, and remotes.
It features 15 built-in lighting effects, including fire, lightning, and flicker. These effects can be adjusted for speed and intensity, making them useful for both film and creative photography.
4. Mounting Options
The 150C supports both FE and FM mounts, giving access to NANLUX’s growing range of modifiers. Like the 600C, it also recognizes accessories automatically for accurate light output.
5. Fan Modes and Noise Control
The Evoke 150C offers five fan modes: Smart, Full Speed, Low Speed, Pause, and Off. This allows users to keep the light nearly silent when recording audio-heavy scenes or push the cooling system harder when maximum brightness is needed.
Shared Features of the Evoke 600C and 150C
1. Wide Color Control
Both lights share the 1,000K–20,000K color temperature range with ±200 green/magenta adjustments, making them flexible across different film and photography situations.
2. High Color Accuracy
They both deliver CRI 96, TLCI 97, and TM-30 results of Rf 96 and Rg 100, ensuring they can handle any professional workflow that demands true-to-life color.
3. Smooth and Flicker-Free Dimming
Dimming down to 0.1 percent ensures filmmakers get precise control without flicker, even at very low levels.
4. Professional Build Quality
Both lights are constructed with magnesium alloy and carry IP66 protection, making them tough, lightweight, and resistant to harsh environments.
5. Quiet Fan Systems
The advanced fan systems keep the lights quiet when sound recording is critical. This is especially valuable in interviews, narrative filmmaking, or documentary shoots where background noise can be distracting.
6. Built-In Lighting Modes for Creative Control
The NANLUX Evoke 600C and 150C come with six built-in lighting modes that give creators more flexibility on set. These modes are designed to cover everything from natural daylight to complex creative looks without needing extra gear.
- CCT Mode – Adjust the color temperature from 1,000K to 20,000K to match daylight, tungsten, or mixed lighting setups.
- HSI Mode – Control hue, saturation, and intensity to create bold and creative colors for films, music videos, and live events.
- RGBW Mode – Fine-tune red, green, blue, and white channels for precise color matching or recreating specific looks.
- XY Coordinates Mode – Select exact colors using XY chromaticity coordinates, ensuring accuracy and consistency across multiple lights.
- Gel Mode – Instantly recreate popular lighting gels digitally without carrying physical gels, saving time and gear space.
- Effect Mode – Use built-in effects like fire, lightning, flicker, and TV for realistic special effects on set.
