- Meet The Gaffer #327. Here's my first look, and maybe yours too, at the Nanlux Evoke 2400B. I very briefly compare it to the Nanlux Evoke 1200B. I'll go into more detail in another episode and compare it to an HMI or two, but here I just wanted to start off with a quick comparison of raw output and talk a little about how we in North America need to be a little careful with the way we deal with amperage.

Can't wait to see you put this up against an M40.
I've sold all my HMI so I can't do the comparison, and it's what everyone wants to know.
Yeah exactly… at 20ft m40 specs at 681FC with just under 20ft beam width according to arri App… and a 52 degree beam angle in flood. Luke seems to be getting about 600FC at 20ft but with narrower beam width of 14ft with 45 degree dish… so it would appear the evoke is about what 2/3? of m40 at 5600? However, If I set beam width at flood to 14ft in arri app at full flood it’s 1323FC which puts unit an about 14.25ft away.
But doesnt an HMI have a better shadow cast than leds?
@@ivancuetowicqI was interested in the shadows too.
@@ivancuetowicq Shadow quality depends more on the optics than the underlying technology. Fresnels will give cleaner and more natural shadows than any reflector or open face because it's one light source. The shadows from M18/M40/M90 are not pretty due to the subject seeing the bulb + reflector (versus one source), but the same can be said for the shadows of these COB reflectors.
@@oliver_pengthis is very true. Although in something like a Dedolight 1200w HMI, that level of sharpness/shadow quality is only possible due to the HMI bulb being a true point source with its 10mm arc gap.
In my tests the Dedo 1200 is somewhere between a 750w and 1000watt LED equivalent in brightness but has the sharpness at full flood of a 60-80watt LED in bare COB configuration.
"hey lets compare this LED to an m40"....Im so stoked for this, great vid luke!
Good job, thanks! I'm quite impressed with the candle power its putting out. Showing this at night against the house using your light meter really makes the point.
Great stuff! Can’t wait to see how the Aputure Electro Storm XT26 compares
This is absolutely amazing. Great quick look!
can't wait for the M40 comparison
Oh how LED has changed! Amazing
4:46 on pins and needles wondering if a circuit breaker will pop 😬
Thanks so much for all the great content, Luke. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Very impressive. And bi color to boot. I suspect these will be replacing my 4K pars. Output seems in the ballpark of an M40 based off the numbers, but can’t wait for the video. Thanks so much luke.
And G/M shift…
😯@@meetthegaffer
Wow very exciting. Thanks Luke
That's very impressive! 170fc for the 1200B to 600fc for the 2400B is a 1.8 stop increase, which is quite a bit more than the 1 stop increase you'd expect for doubling the power.
We’ll see how well that holds up in further review😀
Big on the war with the M40 :D thats what I am looking forward to. :D
No problem on a 16A plug /circuit in Europe😅😊
totally killer Luke! miss ya
Thanks so much, Luke !
There’s a new episode being edited right now that corrects some of the things I said in this episode about Constant and Max mode😀
What a great time to be in film (:
It will be interesting to see this against the new Aputure one that is coming out. Good to know that in constant mode it won't pop a breaker. I probably wouldn't use this much beyond 70%. Great test.
Yup. The other thing I’ll be asking my fellow crew members is to follow best practices of turning the light all the way down to zero before turning it off😉
The power of the sun 😮
shoutout to Mrs Gaffer for the cameo in the kitchen (-: and 21amps would put my entire house in danger of going dark (South Africa, 220v 50Hz, 40 amps to the house, 30 amp breaker on the plug circuits, shared with the water heater etc, so if water heater is on you have to be careful what else you use at the same time)
Ha, ha, my wife said it felt like the sun was coming in the windows😉 If you have 220V coming out of the wall, you can run your units at roughly 10A +10A to spread the load over the two hots, right?
@@meetthegaffer - sorry, not split phase, 3 phase 220v in the street (usually overhead on poles), each house gets 1 phase, so every 3rd house is on the same phase. Businesses can get all 3 phases connected for a fee.
@DavidtheSwarfer What does your outlet look like? One 220V hot, neutral, and ground?
@@meetthegaffer , exactly that, 3 pin socket rated 15 amps, round pins, similar to UK socket but round pins
@@meetthegaffer - yes, similar to UK plug but round pins, rated 15amp at 220v (can float as high as 240 though)
Fantastic! The power box had a standard Edison pigtail?
No it comes without, so you can choose. Normally I would probably go with a 60A bates and then have adapters to edison. This would allow me to go 220V as well.
I'd like to see it compare to Skypanel X + Hyper Optic.
Dang! That’s a big boi!!
Nice surprise at midnight
LOL
It was probably 7PM when he shot this because it's dark by then because of DST.
you captured Zack's essence…
Yeah, I already feel 😞
But the Max Mode is only for safety on your amperage? Constant Mode Sounds Like It has a Boost Mode where you cant run it for very Long in. But Thats Not the case Right?
I don’t know the official stance on the difference between Constant and Max. But experientially the Constant Output mode acts as a governor, capping your usage at 15A. The Max Output mode allows you to use the full capacity of the unit, up to 21A. It seems logical that you could keep the unit in Max mode as long as you like in order to get the most out of the unit.
Constant mode is to maintain even intensity across the CCT range.
Looking forward to you compare this to Aputure 2600 and Godox 2400
We’ll see if any make their way to the Bay Area😉
Can you compare this light to the sun please?
@@YoungBlazeLOL
What is the weight of this head unit?
Is the power supply smart? Can you power it 2 pole 220 or is it just 110V?
Yes, you could plug a normally wired 15A Edison plug/end cap into a 220V powered receptacle. Or use a connector like a 60A Bates and feed it two hots and a ground.
@@meetthegaffer Great thankyou. I often run 220V down 60A whips. For this light I'd just use the 2500/220v trick to get full power off house if not doing a tie-in. Yeah I still do those. Again thank you.
600 FC! No more 4k HMI. No more changing out a piping hot wide to a stipple with oven mitts. Bi-color! God I'm old. So Luke, can you comment on the fan noise I seemed to be hearing please.
My mic was on the low side, so I added gain to the audio track. I doubt you are hearing the fan. More soon.
Wow
Remeber you can't grill talents on their chair.
When @ 35 % with an Aperture 300 II + max diffusion, some guys just ask me if it's nessary to go further, bc their getting blind.
This is a desert daylight edition.
Lighting is relative to many factors, but having a big gun is good for highspeed, for lighting larger areas, for larger, softer bounces from farther away. The real sun is bright, but we find ways to use it to our advantage😉
@@meetthegaffer Yes Luke a Mr. Villeneuve maybe feels like he's having a heart attack thinking about how much he could have saved with these things arriving now. I sold all of my HMI is the killing comment.
GVM will be chasing these lights very soon.... serious lights!
Well abowe my pay grade
I guess it's time to get a bigger diesel generator to plug a couple of these. 😂
Pretty wild that a 3K genny is all you need🙂
@@meetthegaffer had a pair of 1200d in a shoot and turned out so great that the thought of this kind of power in a single LED light it's amazing.
Totally!
