NANLUX Nebula C8 Unveiled – First Eight-Color Light Engine With 1,000–20,000K CCT

NANLUX has introduced the Nebula C8, the first color light engine in its Nebula line and, according to the company, the industry’s first eight-color LED engine, aiming to deliver wider gamut coverage, deeper reds, cleaner indigo, and precise tint control for set work.   The Nebula C8 combines Deep Red, Red, Amber, Lime, Green, Cyan, Blue, and Indigo emitters. NANLUX says its proprietary mixing balances these sources to improve skin tones, extend the correlated color temperature range, and reduce artifacts found in simpler RGBW or RGBWW systems.

By adding a 665 nm Deep Red alongside the existing 645 nm Red, the C8 targets fuller red-spectrum coverage for healthier-looking skin, both to the eye and on camera. An Indigo emitter complements the short-wavelength end, which NANLUX says helps avoid pale indigo reproduction while maintaining smooth RGB transitions.   What a Nebula C8 COB is made up of.

That low end allows for ultra-warm looks such as candlelight and flame simulations without resorting to heavy gels or post correction.   Image credit: NANLUX Color rendering and gamut figures NANLUX cites 79% coverage of the CIE 1931...
