Create beautiful soft keys or rich backdrops with this panel light featuring breakthrough light fidelity and color range.

Incredibly Accurate and Natural White Light

The NOVA II 1x1 has a wide range of tunable white light with the best SSI performance to emulate tungsten, daylight, and everything in between. The BLAIR-CG light engine offers a tunable white range from 1,800-20,000K with full 100% MITC +/- Green adjustment. The Indigo emitters activate natural fluorescence for lifelike colors, and a new Extended Red emitters improve skin tone reproduction.

Colors Never Before Achieved in a Panel

The BLAIR-CG light engine in the NOVA II 1x1 covers the greatest range of saturated colors of any panel light. The expanded BLAIR-CG light engine covers more than 90% of the 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

The NOVA II 1x1 delivers a direct 35° beam which remains bright when diffused, providing increased versatility.

The secret to this performance is a unique three-part “focus-then-blend” optical formula. First, focusing TIR lenses are placed over LED emitter clusters. Then, these clusters are kept small and packed at a high density on the panel for increased output. Lastly, these lensed emitter clusters 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

The advanced structural design of the NOVA II 1x1 allows it to achieve three goals normally at odds: low noise, low weight, and IP65 weather protection. The NOVA II 1x1 panel is IP65 weather protected, has fan noise below 40dB in high speed mode, and weighs 11.35kg including the yoke.
