Why We Built It
NOVA II is a next generation panel light family without compromise. The BLAIR-CG light engine casts high fidelity white light and rich colors. A unique optical formula maintains brightness when used both direct and diffused. Design innovations introduce weather resistance while reducing noise and weight.
With NOVA II, Aputure reinvents the panel light.
Incredibly Accurate and Natural White Light
The NOVA II has a wide range of tunable white light with the best SSI performance to emulate tungsten, daylight, and everything in between.
Aputure’s BLAIR-CG light engine offers a tunable white range from 1800K-20,000K with full 100% MITC +/- Green adjustment, the Indigo emitter to activate natural fluorescence for lifelike colors, and a new Extended Red emitter to improve skin tone reproduction. High SSI (P3200 = 90, D5600 = 86) means you can trust your eyes that the camera will see what you do.
Colors Never Before Achieved in a Panel
The BLAIR-CG light engine in the NOVA II covers the greatest range of saturated colors of any panel light.
Blue/Lime/Amber/Indigo/Red/Cyan/Green emitters cover more than 90% of Rec.2020 color space. There are four blues and two reds, including Extended Red, for increased gamut and saturation. Using x,y and HSIC+ modes, dial in precise colors to match products, create backdrops, and even dial in perfect greenscreen or bluescreen keys to match your camera’s sensor.
The Brightest Light, Direct or Diffused
NOVA II delivers a direct 35° beam, which remains bright when diffused, providing increased versatility. This is the first panel family to deliver this performance.
The NOVA II uses a unique three part “focus-then-blend” optical formula. Focusing TIR lenses are placed over individual LED emitters. These emitters are packed at a high density on the panel for increased output. Lastly, these lensed emitters are arranged in a complex neutralizing pattern to produce bright, even light with no visible color fringing on subjects.
Weatherproof, Quiet, Lightweight: Pick All Three
You don’t have to compromise. The advanced structural design of the NOVA II allows it to achieve three goals normally at odds: low noise, low weight, and IP65 weather protection.
A Complete Ecosystem
The NOVA II 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 arrays or even combining NOVA II fixtures into a single, powerful source.
