NANLUX has packaged its popular Evoke 150C full-color LED spot into two production-ready kits, targeting news crews, corporate shooters, and indie film productions that need a self-contained lighting solution ready to deploy straight out of a single case. The 2-light kit is priced at $2,450, with the 3-light kit coming in at $3,690, and both are available now through authorized dealers worldwide.
When NANLUX introduced the Evoke 150C at IBC 2025, the fixture’s combination of compact form factor, IP66 weather sealing, and the new Nebula C8 eight-color engine generated considerable attention. We covered the original announcement and followed up with hands-on time on the IBC show floor. These new light kits take the same fixture and bundle it with a carefully curated set of modifiers, mounting hardware, and stands in a single rolling case, addressing one of the persistent headaches for location crews: sourcing and organizing compatible accessories across multiple jobs.
Both kits are built around the same core per fixture: an Evoke 150C, yoke, 45-degree FE mount reflector, 4.5m AC power cable, D-Tap cable for battery operation, magnetic base, and a 5/8″ baby pin with quick release plate. The 2-light configuration ships with one FL-12 Fresnel lens (including barndoors) and one Rapid 60 softbox loaded with both a standard and medium diffuser plus an eggcrate, along with two light stands, all in a plastic trolley case.
The 3-light kit scales those accessories proportionally: three of each mounting and power component, two FL-12 Fresnel units with barndoors, and two Rapid 60 softboxes with their respective diffusion and eggcrate grids, three stands, and a larger trolley case to contain the lot.
The light stands reach a maximum height of 186 cm and fold down to just 49 cm, fitting neatly inside the hard case. It’s a practical spec for a kit that may be sliding into the back of an estate car or a compact van between jobs.
The standout accessory in both bundles is the Rapid 60 FM mount softbox, and its value here lies specifically in its flat-pack geometry. Rather than a conventional collapsible design that still demands its own bag, the Rapid 60 folds flat and stows directly inside the lid of the trolley case. For crews working airline check-in limits or loading into a single estate car, this is a meaningful difference in transport efficiency. It ships with a standard diffuser, a medium diffuser, and an eggcrate, giving enough modifier range to go from a clean soft key to a more directional interview setup without reaching for additional gear.
The Evoke 150C itself remains unchanged from the IBC introduction. Its Nebula C8 engine uses eight color primaries — deep red, red, amber, lime, green, cyan, blue, and indigo — to deliver a CCT range from 1,000K to 20,000K with a ±200 green/magenta tint shift. That is among the widest CCT spans available in the sub-200W LED fixture class. Output with the included 45-degree reflector is rated at 22,230 lux at 1 meter at 5600K. Color metrics sit at CRI/TLCI 98/98 and TM-30 Rf/Rg 96/100, figures that hold up for broadcast and theatrical work alike.
The fixture’s all-in-one magnesium alloy body integrates the control unit, driver, and lamp head without an external ballast, keeping the total weight at 2.65 kg including the yoke. The IP66 rating covers rain and dust, relevant for run-and-gun ENG or outdoor corporate setups where pulling the light back indoors isn’t always possible.
Power flexibility is a practical asset in kit form: each fixture can draw from AC mains via the included 4.5m cable, from a V-mount battery through the D-Tap cable, or via USB-C PD 3.0 (12–28V, minimum 60W) for scenarios where neither mains nor a large battery plate is convenient. Control pathways cover onboard display, the Nanlink App, DMX/RDM, LumenRadio CRMX, Art-Net, and sACN, making the kit equally useful on a simple two-person corporate shoot or integrated into a larger DMX-controlled stage setup. Dimming runs to 0.1% increments for clean fades, and 15 customizable effect modes handle common cue work. Five fan modes, including a smart mode averaging 24 dB(A), keep audio contamination manageable on dialogue-heavy sets.
NANLUX has been steadily expanding the accessory ecosystem around the Evoke 150C, most recently with the FE30 Parallel Beam Reflector, which delivers approximately 12x the output of the bare fixture at 5600K when measured at 3 meters. Neither kit includes the FE30, but the fixture’s FE mount compatibility means it remains an option for crews who want to extend throw distance between setups.
The Evoke 150C 2-light kit is priced at $2,450 USD and the 3-light kit at $3,690 USD, before local taxes. Both are available immediately through authorized NANLUX dealers and rental houses globally. For reference, the Evoke 150C body alone was priced at $1,080 at launch (currently at a special price of $865), which gives a sense of the value the kit accessories represent. More information is available at nanlux.com.
For location shooters and ENG crews who have been building out their Evoke 150C rigs piecemeal, these kits offer a consolidated starting point at a reasonable premium over buying the bodies alone.
