``` ;) Nanlux Nebula C8 Light Engine
Eight Colors for a Larger Light SpectrumThe heart of the new Nebula C8 is a color engine that integrates eight individually controlled LED emitters: Deep Red, Red, Amber, Lime, Green, Cyan, Blue and Indigo. This system clearly surpasses conventional RGBW or RGBWW engines, which usually rely on only three to five colors. Nanlux&s previous RGBLAC engine (six colors: Red, Green, Blue, Lime, Amber and Cyan) is expanded by the addition of special Deep Red (665 nm) and Indigo LEDs. These additional LEDs expand the spectral range and specifically close gaps that led to color distortions in previous solutions - especially in the transitions between the primary colors. According to Nanlux, the result is a more homogeneous color mixing behavior without hard transitions or unwanted color shifts. ;) Color LEDs of the Nanlux Nebula C8 Light Engine Extremely Wide CCT Range from 1,000K to 20,000KThe extended spectrum due to the new colors is reflected in the exceptionally wide Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) range of the Nebula C8 Light Engine, which ranges from 1,000K to 20,000K. The lower limit of 1,000K enables the simulation of very warm lighting moods such as flickering candlelight or early dawn, while the upper limit of 20,000K offers scope for stylized lighting in extremely cool tones. For comparison: ARRI&s RGBACL 6-color light engine "ARRI Spectra" achieves a spectrum of 1,500 to 20,000 K in the SkyPanel X, and Aputure&s BLAIR-CG in the Storm 1000c achieves 1,800 to 20,000 K. ;) Nanlux Nebula C8 Light Engine Spectrum Better Skin Tones Through Expansion of the Red SpectrumA common problem with LED lights is the inadequate representation of skin tones. Many lighting systems tend towards orange-heavy reds, which makes the skin appear pale or unnatural. The Nebula C8 addresses this problem by additionally integrating a Deep-Red emitter (665 nm) next to the standard Red (645 nm). According to Nanlux, this expansion improves the definition in the red range and leads to more realistic, healthier skin colors - both in the camera image and for the human eye. The new engine also allows a precise ±200 Green/Magenta correction over the entire range. Color Space Coverage and Rendering PerformanceThe new Nebula C8 with its new colors also offers very good color rendering and achieves 79% coverage of the CIE-1931 color space (visible spectrum) and 92% coverage of the Rec. 2020 color space. In addition, the RGB gradients are said to be smoother than with RGBW or RGBWW systems and enable higher saturation in deep red and indigo - thanks to the new dedicated LEDs. ;) Nanlux Nebula C8 Light Engine Comparison UV-Free IndigoAnother technical detail concerns safety: While many indigo LEDs emit a proportion of UV light that can be potentially harmful to health, the spectrum of the indigo emitter in the Nebula C8 has been optimized so that no wavelengths below 400 nm occur. This minimizes the risk of UV exposure for crew and actors. What Does a Light Engine Actually Do?A light engine is the heart of an LED light. It combines a multi-channel LED array (e.g. RGBACL/RGBLAC, here also plus Deep-Red/Indigo) with mixing algorithms, calibration and electronics to generate spectrally precise white and strong colors over a wide CCT range. It thus decisively determines skin tones, color gamut, SSI/CRI/TLCI, ±G/M correction, xy control and dimming behavior - the housing, power supply, cooling and optics are only added at the fixture level - depending on the light in which the engine is used. ;) Nanlux Nebula C8 Light Engine Comparison Different Light Engines for Different PurposesThe Nebula C8 Light Engine is part of Nanlux&s modular approach: While the Nebula B4 Engine is optimized for white light with high light output, the C8 is specifically aimed at lights with medium and low power within its latest professional product range and creative applications with colored lighting. Both engines form the basis for Nanlux&s current luminaire families, including the new Evoke 150C and Evoke 600C models, which are equipped with the new C8 light engine. ;) Nanlux Nebula B4 and C8 Light Engine Important Technical Features of the Nebula C8 at a Glance- 8-Color-Engine: Deep Red, Red, Amber, Lime, Green, Cyan, Blue, Indigo - CCT Range: 1,000K – 20,000K with ±200 Green/Magenta-Shift - Spectral Expansion: Improved skin tones through 665 nm Deep Red - Color Space Coverage: 79 % (CIE 1931), 92 % (Rec. 2020) - Avoidance of UV light below 400 nm ```  more infos at bei www.Nanlux.comdeutsche Version dieser Seite: Neue Nanlux Nebula C8 Light Engine - Acht Farben für präzisere Lichtgestaltung |
