NANLUX has published a three-part educational series on its Evoke 600C and Evoke 150C, the first fixtures built around the new Nebula C8 Color Light Engine. Produced by Jem Schofield of theC47, the videos cover three on-location lighting setups, a hardware and accessories overview, and a closer look at operation, connectivity, and lighting modes.
Jem Schofield is a producer, director, DP, and educator, and the series is aimed at filmmakers who want to understand how the two fixtures behave in practice before committing them to a shoot. Each episode is structured with timecoded chapters, so you can jump straight to the topic you need. All three videos are available in a YouTube playlist.
For context: the Evoke 600C and 150C were introduced ahead of IBC 2025, and we spoke with NANLUX’s Andy Lin Qibin about them at the show (interview coverage here). Nebula C8 is an eight-emitter engine that adds deep red and indigo to NANLUX’s RGBLAC six-color design, which results in a CCT range of 1,000 to 20,000K and ±200 green/magenta adjustment across that range. The 150C is a compact 150W fixture with an IP66-rated metal body that runs on AC, V-mount batteries, or USB-PD, while the 600C is a 600W point-source light weighing 8.6kg / 19lb.
The first episode follows Schofield through three distinct lighting scenarios, and explains the choices behind each one: the locations, the accessories and modifiers, the camera settings, and the reasoning that connects them.
The opening setup is a corporate and documentary interview (timecode 0:25). The challenge here is strong natural light coming through large windows; Schofield exposes for the background and builds a clean, professional interview look on top of it. This is a situation many documentary shooters know well, and it is a practical test of how much output a fixture needs to hold its own against daylight.
At 4:40, the second setup moves to a lifestyle scene at golden hour. The Evoke 600C and 150C are used to enhance the natural light while keeping control over mood, exposure, and creative direction, so the fixtures support the existing light rather than replace it.
The third setup (8:08) is a narrative nighttime scene. Here the focus is on building a cinematic night atmosphere by shaping light, contrast, and color to serve the story, which is where the full-color capabilities of Nebula C8 come into play.
The second video is the first of two bench-style episodes. It opens with the Nebula C8 Color Light Engine itself (0:25), followed by an overview of the Evoke 150C covering hardware, modifiers, and power solutions (2:20).
The 150C uses the FE mount, which adds electronic contacts for automatic modifier recognition while remaining compatible with the existing FM-mount accessory ecosystem. The 600C gets its own chapters at 8:55 for hardware and powering, and at 13:00 for accessories and modifiers. It uses the BE mount, a Bowens-style electronic mount that can also recognize compatible modifiers and control an optional motorized Fresnel.
The final episode is about getting up and running quickly. Operation of the fixtures is covered first (0:25), then connectivity options (3:20), which is the longest practical block in the series. According to NANLUX, both lights support wired and on-board controls, the NANLUX app, and DMX.
The last chapter (13:45) covers the lighting modes. The Evoke 600C and 150C offer CCT, HSI, RGBW, XY coordinates, Gel, and Effects modes, so it is helpful to see how each one is meant to be used before you are standing on set with a crew waiting.
The Evoke 150C is priced at $864 and the Evoke 600C at $2,064. The training series is free to watch on YouTube. For more information about both fixtures, please visit the NANLUX website.
