Nanlux has unveiled the
NL70 Parallel Beam Reflector (RF-NL-PB), a professional lighting modifier designed to provide a well-defined, long-throw beam with minimal light loss. The NL70 features a highly optimized optical design that pairs seamlessly with the Nanlux Evoke 2400B and other Evoke series NL mount light fixtures. This makes it an ideal solution for shooting scenarios requiring a high-intensity parallel beam, natural light with low light decay, or efficient illumination when used with reflectors.
The NL70 parallel beam reflector boasts a beam angle of just 6°, ensuring precise, focused lighting. Fitted with an internal grid design and an optional snoot, it effectively reduces spill light for an even, controlled output. When used with compatible Evoke series light fixtures, the NL70 creates a cinema-grade parallel light beam, offering superior lighting quality for professional productions.
When mounted on the Evoke 2400B, the light output can be increased by up to 21 times compared to the fixture alone. This combination excels in long-distance lighting scenarios, offering high efficiency and powerful parallel beam features. At a distance of 10 meters, the illuminance can reach an impressive 22,420 lux (5600K), making it ideal for large-scale productions and demanding outdoor projects.
Despite its robust performance, the NL70 is crafted from lightweight materials, achieving remarkable weight reduction through an optimized structural design. With a diameter of 720mm (28.35") and weighing just 9.37kg (20.66lb), the NL70 is easy to transport, handle, and set up, even by a single person, ensuring maximum convenience on set.
The reflector is equipped with a detachable carbon fiber snoot, which can be separated into four leaves. This design balances lightweight construction with high strength, ensuring long-lasting durability, even with repeated use. The snoot is easy to install using hook-and-loop fasteners, requiring no tools or complex procedures, allowing for quick and efficient setup.
Once installed, the NL70 and Evoke series fixtures can simulate sunlight streaming into a room, thanks to the narrow, focused, and practically parallel beam that minimizes light decay over distance. This creates more natural lighting conditions, ideal for both indoor and outdoor scenarios. The combination can also simulate searchlight effects, providing intense lighting for large outdoor scenes like battlefields, prison watchtowers, or guard posts.
In smaller spaces, the parallel beam performance extends the light source’s reach when used with reflectors, reducing light scatter and offering greater creative flexibility. Additionally, the NL70 can create a single shadow effect, further enhancing its versatility in achieving high-quality, natural lighting.
For added protection, the NL70 Parallel Beam Reflector comes with a dust cap to safeguard it during transport and storage. The PC optical cover at the front not only prevents dust but also keeps insects out, ensuring consistent light quality over time. With its robust design, the NL70 can be used in a variety of environments, including dusty, rainy, snowy, or forested locations, making it a reliable tool for outdoor productions.
