Nanlux has just introduced quite a beast of an LED light, the Nanlux Evoke 1200, and yes, the 1200 actually stands for 1.2kW. This fixture is meant to compete with traditional 1.8K PARs and 2.5k HMI fixtures, but in a much more compact form factor. So let’s take a close look, but don’t forget your sunglasses!
