The Aputure NOVA II 2x1 is a 1000 W full-color LED panel that redefines professional lighting for film, television, and broadcast. Building on the legacy of the Nova P600c, the NOVA II delivers twice the output, expanded color control, and improved durability in a rugged, IP65-rated housing. Designed for cinematographers, gaffers, and studios that demand reliability and precision, it combines massive brightness with pinpoint color accuracy and a new modular accessory system for faster rigging and setup.
Driven by Aputure’s BLAIR-CG chipset (Blue, Lime, Amber, Indigo, Red, Cyan, Green), the NOVA II 2x1 delivers an extraordinary 28 380 lux at 3 m (5600 K, bare bulb) and 5 130 lux with the included flat diffuser. Its wide CCT range of 1800 K – 20 000 K with full ±G green/magenta correction (ASC MITC standard) allows unmatched color-matching flexibility. Color fidelity is world-class with CRI ≥ 95, TLCI ≥ 95, TM-30 Rf 95/Rg 100, and SSI 90 (3200 K) / 86 (5600 K).
The NOVA II 2x1 features a precision-milled aluminum body that is IP65 weather-resistant, making it ready for rain, dust, and extreme on-set conditions (−20 °C – +45 °C). A removable yoke and new QuickClip front-mount system simplify attachment of diffusers, domes, or light-shaping tools, while its optimized design maintains an exceptional output-to-weight ratio at just 18.6 kg including the yoke.
Connectivity includes Sidus Link / Sidus Link Pro, DMX512 (16-bit 5-pin in/out), CRMX, Art-Net / sACN, and dual locking Ethernet ports. Batch firmware updates are supported via Sidus Link Pro, USB-A, or DMX. Control options include multiple fan modes (Smart, High, Medium, Silent 0 dBA), four dimming curves (Linear, Log, Exponential, S-curve), and dual output modes (Max / Constant). Up to 15 lighting effects and 10 customizable presets make it ideal for both cinematic and live productions.
Whether on truss, stand, or grid, the removable yoke provides easy mounting, and optional rolling hard cases add transport security for rental houses and production companies. From key light to soft fill, the NOVA II 2x1 maintains consistent, flicker-free illumination across the entire dimming range.

Q: Is the NOVA II 2x1 weather-resistant?
A: Yes – its IP65 rating protects against rain and dust, perfect for outdoor shoots and on-set rigging.
Q: How bright is the NOVA II compared to the Nova P600c?
A: The NOVA II 2x1 delivers roughly double the output and improved spectral accuracy with the new BLAIR-CG chipset.
Q: Can I control it wirelessly?
A: Yes – via Sidus Link / Sidus Link Pro, LumenRadio CRMX, or DMX with up to 100 m range.
Q: Is it quiet enough for sound stages?
A: Yes – in Silent Mode the fans are completely off (0 dBA), making it suitable for dialogue recording.
Q: Does it support firmware updates and network integration?
A: Absolutely – firmware can be updated via Sidus Link Pro, USB, or DMX for batch management across multiple fixtures.
