NANLUX has announced the Evoke 150C, a compact and lightweight 150W full-color light with a new 8-color Nebula C8 light engine.
On paper, this looks to be a very impressive fixture, and it is good to see NANLUX finally release some smaller-sized Evoke fixtures.

The compact all-in-one fixture is claimed to deliver a class-leading wide color temperature range, broad color gamut coverage, excellent light quality, and precise dimming performance. It is a multi-purpose light that can run off AC, V-mount batteries, or USB-PD power.
According to NANLUX, the Nebula C8 Light Engine is capable of delivering
exceptional light quality in both white and colored light. Its eight colors (Deep Red, Red, Amber, Lime, Green, Cyan, Blue, Indigo), combined with an advanced mixing algorithm, enable an ultra-wide CCT range from 1,000K to 20,000K, which at least to my knowledge, is the widest range currently available. It also features a ±200 Green/Magenta adjustment, broader
color gamut coverage, and higher saturation.
NANLUX states that when compared to conventional color engines, the Nebula C8 achieves superior fidelity and skin tone accuracy in white light.
The Evoke 150C offers six built-in lighting modes, including CCT, HSI, RGBW, XY Coordinates, Gel, and Effect modes. The Evoke 150C also has a fully linear dimming system that supports adjustments in 0.1% increments, ensuring smooth performance at low brightness and natural fade-ins and fade-outs.
The light is claimed to have average scores of CRI 96, TLCI 97, TM-30 Rf 96, and TM-30 Rg 100.
The Evoke 150C has robust yet lightweight metal construction and is IP66-rated. It utilizes a new FE mount, which has automated modifier recognition and control with appropriate attachments, and is also compatible with the existing FM mount accessory ecosystem.
The Evoke 150C weighs in at just 2.65 kg / 5.84 lb (lamp head with yoke) and measures 209 x 147 x 127mm / 8.2×5.8×5.0″.
It has a claimed output of 22,230 lux at 1m / 3.3′ when used at 5600K with its 45° reflector. It can also output 10,200 lux at 1m / 3.3′ when producing a saturated green with its 45° reflector.
The fixture combines the lamp head, control unit, and power supply into a single compact body, requiring only a power cable or a V-mount battery
via D-Tap for operation. The Evoke 150C is more compact than most comparable lights, using lightweight magnesium alloy with an optimized internal structure.
As I mentioned earlier, the Evoke 150C uses the FE mount with electronic contacts to attach modifiers, including the new motorized yoke and Fresnel lens (FL-12E) options.
Above, you can see some of the lighting modifiers that will work with it.
The FE mount incorporates the unique NANLUX PosiTight system that ensures a secure dual-safety connection between fixture and accessory.
The side of the Evoke 150C has a new tilt-locking mechanism with angle indicator to simplify repeat alignment. The clever offset design of the mechanism expands tilt range for large modifiers.
There are three 1/4″-20 anti-twist threads on both sides and the top, providing flexible mounting for controllers, adapters, or added safety when rigging.
For fixed mounting, the kit includes a 5/8″ Baby Pin with Quick Release Plate (AS-BP-QRS), which attaches directly to the fixture’s quick-release base, enabling fast and versatile setup anywhere on set.
The Evoke 150C has a full range of connection options. An extension port allows for connectivity with control devices, signal routing, and motorized
accessories, offering the same advanced control capabilities as the wider Evoke series.
When it comes to power, there is an integrated AC/DC input supporting direct connection to wall outlets (AC 100–240V) or batteries (DC 14.4–28V), while the USB- C port supports PD3.0 input (12–28V, 60W min) for use with adapters or power banks.
The Evoke 150C control interface shares the same intuitive logic as other Evoke fixtures. It has a 2.0-inch display, two adjustment knobs, and three mode buttons. It supports versatile control options, including the Nanlink App 2.0, DMX/RDM, LumenRadio CRMX, Art-Net/sACN, remote controller, or wired controller. A built-in NFC tag allows it to instantly pair with an NFC-enabled phone or tablet running the App.
The Evoke 150C is equipped with an efficient cooling system featuring five built-in fan modes. In Smart mode, the average noise level is only 24 dB(A). Even during prolonged operation at full power, the fixture remains whisper-quiet.
