NOVA 9°
High-intensity narrow beam panel lights with breakthrough spectral quality.
Featured in NOVA 9°





Why We Built It
Creating a narrow beam of light traditionally requires a light, a lens, and modifiers. NOVA 9° simplifies this with a panel design with groups of emitters lensed to focus light in a tight, coalesced beam. The result is a narrow beam of light that can replicate a sunbeam in a compact footprint.
Using an extended range version of the BLAIR light engine and the ability to stack fixtures in a 3-light yoke for unified output, NOVA 9° allows you to place the sun anywhere.

Long Throw, Hard Shadows
The NOVA 9° family of panels is specially tuned to throw intense, directional, tunable white light over great distances with minimal angle spread. NOVA 9° outputs a narrower beam than any other panel light.
Create strong sunbeam effects on any subject, with pleasing directional shadow quality.

The Best Color of Any Narrow Beam Panel
The advanced BLAIR light engine in the NOVA 9° family outputs the highest quality tunable white light of any narrow beam panel light.
Blue/Lime/Amber/Indigo/Red emitters combine multiple hues of light for extreme white light quality. The Indigo emitters in the BLAIR engine enhance the colors of naturally fluorescing materials, just like sunlight, and the Extended Red emitters enrich skin tones and extend the CCT range to 1,800-20,000K.

Maximum Power
The NOVA 9° family stands out when used together as a single powerful hard source. Mount panels in the 3-light yoke for a positionable sunbeam, or use truss adapters to create large arrays.

Sunbeams, Anywhere
Thanks to the shallow footprint, NOVA 9° is perfect for use with reflectors, through windows, or wherever beams of sunlight are needed.

A Complete Ecosystem
The NOVA 9° family is available with a wide range of accessories that make modifying and rigging fast, easy, and precise.
Modifiers attach and stack easily with the front loading QuickClip system. The removable yoke and rigging accessories allow for mounting lights in precise arrays.
Compare Aputure NOVA II and NOVA 9°
