The Nanlux Evoke 900C is a high-output, full-color LED COB light designed for professional film, television, and commercial production. It is part of Nanlux’s Evoke series and represents the brand’s move into powerful RGBWW point-source fixtures aimed at large-scale, demanding workflows.
The Evoke 900C is commonly used as a key, punch light, or color-capable replacement for mid-range HMIs and daylight COBs on narrative sets, commercials, and exterior-heavy shoots.
Fixture Overview
The Evoke 900C is a single-emitter LED COB fixture built around a full-color RGBWW engine. Unlike earlier daylight-only Evoke models, the 900C adds full color control while maintaining high output and professional build quality.
It is designed as a serious cinema light, with a separate control unit, heavy-duty housing, and mounting hardware intended for rental houses and large crews.
Key Characteristics
High-output RGBWW LED COB light
Full color and tunable white capability
Point-source beam suitable for modifiers
Separate control unit with professional power options
Built for studio and location use
The Evoke 900C prioritizes output, color flexibility, and durability over portability.
Light Quality and Output
The Evoke 900C produces a hard, directional beam typical of large COB fixtures. Its output is strong enough to be used as a primary key, bounced source, or punch light through diffusion and windows.
Beam quality is largely defined by the modifier used, making it compatible with Fresnels, softboxes, projection optics, and large diffusion frames. While not as punchy as daylight-only counterparts, its output is substantial for a full-color COB fixture.
Color and Control
The Evoke 900C uses an RGBWW LED engine, allowing it to produce accurate white light as well as saturated colors and effects.
Control options include:
Onboard control via the control unit
DMX control
Integration with professional lighting control systems
The fixture is designed for structured, professional workflows rather than app-centric operation.
Mounting and Rigging
The Evoke 900C features a heavy-duty yoke and is intended for combo stands, crank stands, or overhead rigging. The separate control unit can be mounted to the stand or positioned remotely for better weight distribution.
Because of its size and weight, it is typically handled by experienced crews and is not intended for one-person run-and-gun setups.
Typical Use Cases
Key light for large interiors
Punchy source through diffusion
Lighting through windows
Color washes and motivated color sources
Exterior and night shoots
The Evoke 900C is most effective when power, space, and rigging infrastructure are available.
Where It Fits in the Market
The Nanlux Evoke 900C sits in the high-output professional RGB LED COB segment. It is positioned above mid-range COB lights in power and build quality, and below the very largest cinema LED systems, offering a balance of output, color control, and cost.
It is most commonly used in:
High-end narrative film and television
Large commercial productions
Exterior and night shoots
Rental-house LED COB packages
The Evoke 900C is chosen when productions need serious output with full color flexibility in a rugged, cinema-grade package.
