Aputure expands its NOVA Panel series with two lights addressing very specific tasks on set: the NOVA 9° 2x1 is a panel with an extremely narrow beam angle, featuring a very tight light cone for concentrated, long-throw light with hard, sun-like shadows. Using the new 3-Light Yoke, three of these can easily be used together to mimic sunlight due to their high light output. The NOVA II 1x1, on the other hand, is a compact 1x1 all-rounder with a high brightness that, according to Aputure, rivals that of many 2x1 panels. Furthermore, Aputure has introduced new accessories for its NOVA ecosystem. ![]() Aputure NOVA 9° 2x1The new ![]() Aputure NOVA 9° 2x1 The **NOVA 9° 2x1 3-Light Kit** is a hyper-narrow beam panel array featuring three NOVA 9° 2x1 panels in a single yoke. It is designed to throw bright, directional white light over long distances to simulate natural sunlight. With a small footprint and higher light output than a 12,000W Tungsten lamp in full spot at 10 meters (21,070 lux vs. 17,400 lux), the NOVA 9° 2x1 3-Light Kit is aimed at use with reflectors or when lighting through windows, or anywhere artificial sunlight is required. The NOVA 2x1 3-Light Yoke can also be used with NOVA II 2x1 panels. ![]() Aputure NOVA 9° 2x1 3-Light Kit The NOVA 9° 2x1 utilizes an improved version of Aputure&s BLAIR (Blue, Lime, Amber, Indigo, Red) light engine, which offers an expanded CCT range of 1,800–20,000K with full ASC MITC +/- Green adjustment. The Indigo LEDs in the expanded BLAIR engines naturally optimize the colors of fluorescent materials—like sunlight—and the nine red LEDs improve skin tone rendition. Aputure NOVA II 1x1The ![]() Aputure NOVA II 1x1 35° Beam Angle Through New Optical ArchitectureThe optical design of the NOVA II 1x1 fundamentally differs from previous panels. It uses a three-stage "focus-then-blend" system of TIR lenses placed directly over the individual LEDs, a denser cluster arrangement, and a special layout for bright, even illumination with a narrow beam angle of 35°. Without a modifier, the panel delivers up to 110,100 lux at 1 meter distance at 4300K. With flat diffusion, it still achieves 20,500 lux. ![]() Aputure NOVA 9° 2x1 3-Light Kit Pricing and AvailabilityBoth the new NOVA 9° 2x1 and the NOVA II 1x1 panels are available for pre-order now. The NOVA 9° 2x1 costs 3,120 Euros without, or 3,380 Euros with a Rolling Hard Case (plus VAT in each case). The NOVA II 1x1 starts at 2,290 Euros without and 2,390 Euros with a Case.
