The Nebula C8 is the new eight-color LED Light Engine from NANLUX. It includes deep red, red, amber, lime, green, cyan, blue, and indigo emitters. NANLUX’s proprietary color-mixing technology precisely balances and blends these eight colors to provide a wider color temperature range, better skin tone reproduction and a broader color gamut.

But wait, wait. What is a “light engine?” To train spotters, it’s a locomotive running disconnected from its cars. To filmmakers, lighting professionals and manufacturers, “light engine” is the integrated assembly of the actual LEDs along with the things that make them shine: LED drivers, optical, thermal, mechanical and electrical components.  

With the addition of deep red, the Nebula C8 Light Engine achieves NANLUX’s widest CCT range yet: from 1,000K–20,000K. At 1000K, the light is much warmer than candle light or glowing embers in a fireplace.

Previously, most color light engines available for motion picture production had a red spectrum that leaned toward orange, making skin tones appear pale and less natural both to the eye and in camera. With an added 665 nm deep-red color, the Nebula C8 extends coverage across the red spectrum, delivering richer, vibrant and more natural skin tones.

The Nebula C8 achieves 82% coverage of the CIE 1931 visible color space and 94% coverage of the Rec. 2020 color space. The saturation of deep red and indigo is especially enhanced. Compared with RGBW and RGBWW lights, the Nebula C8 produces smoother and more accurate RGB transitions. Compared with six- or seven-color LED systems, the Nebula C8 delivers richer deep red and indigo tones, preventing indigo from appearing too pale and red appear too orange, as mentioned before.  

During development of the Nebula C8, NANLUX engineers eliminated ultraviolet wavelengths below 400 nm to protect crew and talent from potential UV hazards.

The Nebula Light Engine system now consists of both the B4 white light engine and the C8 color light engine. The Nebula B4 Light Engine provides accurate and efficient white light, providing high illuminance through high-power fixtures like the Evoke 5000B. The Nebula C8 Light Engine provides expressive colors and an ultra wide color temperature range, delivering versatile lighting options for medium and low-power fixtures. 

 

 

The NANLUX Evoke 150C and Evoke 600C are two LED spotlights equipped with this new light engine. And so, they have an ultra-wide CCT range from 1,000K to 20,000K, and ±200 green/magenta adjustment across the entire range. 

The Evoke 150C is a compact and lightweight 150W full-color light designed for versatile and quick setups.

The Evoke 600C is a more powerful, 600W fixture.

Both units have excellent color rendition with CRI/TLCI average 98/98, TM-30 Rf/Rg average 96/100. As full-color lights, they offers six built-in lighting modes including CCT, HSI, RGBW, XY Coordinates, Gel, and Effect modes. These modes provide extensive color options, 460 gel selections, and flexible effect adjustment. There are 3 dimming modes, including increments as fine as 0.1%. With fully linear dimming, they stay smooth at low brightness and produce natural, soft transitions when fading lights in or out.

Both Evoke 150C and Evoke 600C have an all-in-one design —  integrating the lamp head, control unit and power supply into a single compact body. They are constructed with high-strength magnesium alloy and an IP66-rated housing for reliable operation even in the most hostile environments.

The Evoke 150C is a remarkably compact fixture. It weighs a mere  2.11 kg / 4.65 lb and measures 20.9 × 14.7 × 12.7 cm / 8.2 × 5.8 × 5 in. It delivers 22,230 lux at 1 m (5600K with a 45° reflector). 

The Evoke 600C weighs 7.26 kg / 16.01 lb and measures 35.82 × 24.63 × 20.53 cm / 14.10 × 9.70 × 8.08 in and delivers 20,820 lux at 3 m (5600K with a 25° reflector).

The Evoke 150C is compatible with FE mount and FM mount accessories — including reflectors, softboxes, projection attachments, the newly designed Motorized Fresnel Lens (FL-12E) and FE30 Parallel Beam Reflector (RF-FE-PB). 

The Evoke 600C is compatible with BE, Bowens, and NL mount accessories, also including reflectors, softboxes, projection attachments, the newly designed Motorized Fresnel Lens (FL-22E) and BE55 Parallel Beam Reflector (RF-BE-PB). With wide compatibility, Evoke 150C and Evoke 600C allow users to continue using their existing accessories.
