Seems like for indie filmmakers and video production companies it is no longer cost effective or logistically feasible to rent big and power hungry HMI Par lights. These days there is a big selection of powerful LED lights that start to match the output of traditional HMI lights.
Evoke 1200 LED Light from Nanlux is one such light. It has a daylight color temperature of 5600K and a high CRI/TLCI rating of 96/97 to indicate precise accuracy in color rendition. The fixture with yoke measures 19.8 x 14.5 x 8.3" and will give you 18,400 Lux with the included 45° reflector, rivaling the output of a 1.2K incandescent fixture. It is dimmable from 0 to 100% and you can make power adjustments and turn the unit on and off locally on the light as well as from a remote console or wirelessly via 2.4 GHz signal, Bluetooth, DMX/RDM, or LumenRadio. You can turn the quiet fan off for in sound-sensitive situations.
One of the many benefits is a library of special effects including INT Loop, Flash, Pulse, Storm, TV, Paparazzi, Candle/Fire, Bad Bulb, Fireworks, Explosion, and Welding. The light is ready for worldwide use thanks to its universal power supply, but it can also run on optional batteries when mains current is unavailable. Optional accessories include a variety of softboxes and the FL-35 Fresnel lens.

Thanks guys, This comparison should take place when Aputure 1200 is available.

[@TomAntos]

I'll do a full comparison then. This was just an overview of the light and we only compared it to the Aputure 600d since many people already have that light but still need a bit more power

[@GKhanKutar]

Aputure 1200 will be better ;)

[@TomAntos]

@@GKhanKutar how can you be so sure? Have you used their 1200 light?

[@GKhanKutar]

@@TomAntos because all the Aputure lights are better than Nanlux lights

[@Holtenstein]

Very cool. You gotta do this video again when the 1200D drops. Would be great to see this compared to this light. I wouldn't mind picking up a 600x Bicolor.

[@TomAntos]

Will definitely do a follow-up when that new light is available

[@EpictheEpicest]

I really like what this light offers, but I feel like if they put yoke mounts on the fresnel just 1" forward it would fix the balance issue. Same problem with the Forza 500 fresnel; it's difficult to get the light in an exact spot, as it tends to "sag" forward no matter how tight you lock the yoke down. Considering the price point of this is getting close to an Arri or Mole 1.8kw HMI, you'd figure they would have put the extra 5 minutes of testing into getting it to balance on a stand.

[@ubiFire]

Great video Tom! (But maybe I'm a little biased? lol) - let's get together and do another one soon!

[@tywvideo]

I cannot believe you were in the Valley visiting ubiFire. I am not that far away from them!

[@TomAntos]

Yes I spend part of my year in Lehigh Valley

[@tywvideo]

@@TomAntos Amazing! It is a great area. I am based out of Emmaus.

[@ericsantiago2199]

I did notice the Evoke fan blaring in the background but not the 600D. Any thoughts on that? Also waiting on a 1200D comparison. Good job you guys!

[@Bardalesmusic]

That room looks familiar 🤔 Haha great video

[@blofeldr]

Thanks for the comparison. Just to be clear: with 180 shutter nanlux+fresnel is f16 and aputure+fresnel f10? A stop and 1/3 difference?

[@MohanChowdada]

Hi Tom sir... Love from india. 🇮🇳🇮🇳😍

[@raredreamfootage]

If you flipped the 600D with the Fresnel, would it be better balanced?

[@krime2001]

They've got the Nanlux 1200 on sale for Black Friday on Aliexpress for very reasonable money!

[@luisa9628]

Alibaba would be good too, but it's a bit more hassle. If you're buying more than one though it's probably worth it.

[@mikeyfl]

Time for a redo of same model level with Aputure1200d! 😃

[@TomAntos]

Yes! I'm waiting on getting that new light

[@DavidKfilmmaker]

“Low budget music video” means “we spent all the money on haze”.

[@tasothdevil01]

nice review!!

Gaffer and Gear measured : 69 % brighter than a 600D with fresnel in full spot and only 11% brighter in full flood. Let’s see what Aputure 1200 will bring us next.

[@frontfoot1035]

Why would you compare the 1200 of one to the 600 of the other when they both make a 1200???

[@TomAntos]

Because one of them is not yet available.

[@maxpromedia]

Pre orders on the aputure at this stage.

[@raredreamfootage]

Is it mosquito proof though?

[@DavidGriffin]

Go send me 3 of the nanlights Tom.

[@byannamarieokc]

WOW!

8:30 Aputure give crisper shadows

[@tomaszmaj4766]

i think he was closer to the wall with Aputure and maybe that's why

[@puertografias]

Why comparing apples and oranges? Aputure 1200 is the real comparison.

[@TomAntos]

This is not a comparison of features. Just wanted to see if this new light is actually twice as strong as a 600 light. Since the Aputure 600d has a very accurate light output compared to their specs it was easy to measure if the nanlux is twice as bright. We just used the 600d as a benchmark. Once we have the not yet available Aputure 1200 light then we can compare the lights outputs and their features. Anyone who thinks we are saying that the nanlux is better than Aputure has clearly missed the point of this video. These are two totally different lights. Aputure 600d has already proven itself as a great light that I used on many productions. Before I buy the nanlux I wanted to see if it actually has 1200 output.

[@puertografias]

@@TomAntos Thanks Tom for answering me. Aputure and Nanlux are excellent products. I have both. Im trying to figure out is the Evoke or the lightstorm 1200 is for me.
