The Nanlux FL-28 is a lighter-weight Fresnel lens for the Evoke series LED spotlights. Built for use on the Evoke 900C, Evoke 1200, Evoke 1200B, and Evoke 2400B, the Nanlux FL-28 is designed for easy travel and rigging. It’s significantly smaller and lighter than its Nanlux FL-35 sibling. The FL-35 weighs 10.84kg, whereas the new, more svelte FL-28 weighs only 3.86kg.
The new Nanlux FL-28 reduces the size of the FL-35 by 60%, saving precious space in your van.
Despite its smaller size, it’s still extremely bright. With the Evoke 1200B, it puts out 50,330 lux at 3 metres with a 17° beam angle. On the Evoke 900C, this drops down to a still impressive 38,580 lux.
The FL-28 can still handle the heat of the maximum output of Evoke 1200W lights. When it comes to the most recent Evoke 2400B spotlight, the FL-28 will work with that fixture, but it will automatically limit the output to roughly 50% to prevent heat damage to the Fresnel lens. This will result in a maximum reading of 25,610 lux @3m (5600K, 17° beam angle). NANLUX will soon launch another new Fresnel lens specifically for the Evoke 2400B that will make full use of its higher output.
The NANLUX FL-28 uses the company’s NL mount system with communication pins, so the fixture will know which accessory is installed. This way, the FL-28 Fresnel can tell a 2400B fixture to operate at a maximum of 50%, to prevent melting.
The existing NANLUX FL-35YK Fresnel will remain available for users who require a larger degree of beam angle adjustment. The FL-35YK offers a glass lens and tighter 11° spot, and a wider 45° flood range (versus the 17° to 43° of the FL-28).
When both Fresnel lenses are set at a 30° beam angle, the output achieved by either Fresnel lens is similar:
- Evoke 900C with FL-35YK outputs 15,460 lux@3m (5600K, 30° beam angle)
- Evoke 900C with FL-28 outputs 14,990 lux@3m (5600K, 30° beam angle)
