The Nanlite WS-RC-C2 2.4GHz Remote Control lets you adjust key light parameters wirelessly. It provides quick, simple control of brightness, CCT, HUE and SAT for compatible fixtures. You can operate lights from a short distance without touching each fixture, which speeds up on-set adjustments and lighting tweaks.
Using the WS-RC-C2, you can:
These functions apply to NANLITE and Nanlux lights that include built-in 2.4GHz receivers.
The controller operates at 2.4 GHz and pairs with fixtures that have the built-in 2.4GHz receiver. However, wireless control of special effects may be unavailable or may require a firmware update. Therefore, check the specific fixture’s documentation to confirm full compatibility and any firmware requirements.
The WS-RC-C2 offers practical remote range for many studio and location scenarios. The product description specifies control from up to 32 ft (10 m) away in one place and lists a maximum control distance of 10 m (33 ft.) elsewhere. Keep in mind that actual range is subject to environmental limitations, so walls, interference and other obstacles can reduce effective distance.
Below are the essential technical facts provided for the WS-RC-C2. These are the exact radio and channel details reported by the manufacturer.
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Radio frequency | 2.4 GHz |
| Control distance | max. 10 m (33 ft.) (subject to environmental limitations) |
| Max. radio-frequency power | 0 dBm |
| Channels | 12 |
Use the WS-RC-C2 to make fast lighting adjustments during rehearsals, takes or set-ups. Since it controls brightness, CCT, hue and saturation remotely, you can fine-tune light output without interrupting the scene or moving stands. Also, the channel feature lets you address multiple fixtures or groups within the same frequency band.
Question: Which lights work with the WS-RC-C2?
Answer: The remote controls NANLITE and Nanlux lights that have built-in 2.4GHz receivers. Always confirm the fixture’s receiver support in its documentation before relying on wireless control.
Question: What functions can I control remotely?
Answer: You can adjust brightness, CCT (color temperature), HUE and SAT (saturation) from the remote. Some special effects may not be controllable wirelessly or might need a firmware update on the fixture.
Question: How far can I operate the remote?
Answer: The documentation indicates control from up to 32 ft (10 m) in one description and lists a maximum control distance of 10 m (33 ft.) elsewhere. In practice, range will vary with environmental conditions and potential interference.
Question: How many channels and what RF power does the remote use?
Answer: The WS-RC-C2 uses 12 channels and has a maximum radio-frequency power of 0 dBm, operating on the 2.4 GHz band.
