Key features and benefits

• Powerful and lightweight:

  The Alien 300C produces very high light output while keeping a compact footprint. Its reduced weight improves mobility on set, making it easier to move between setups and locations without sacrificing performance.

• Exceptional light output:

  At 5600K the fixture reaches 28,630 lux at 1 meter (light only). The advanced optics and RGBWW color mixing deliver a uniform, bright beam that holds up well even when you attach softboxes or diffusion.

• Wide CCT range and accurate color:

  The lamp covers a broad color temperature range from 2700K to 12,000K and offers precise green/magenta adjustment (±150). Its measured color accuracy metrics—CRI 96, TLCI 97, TM-30 Rf 94, and TM-30 Rg 100—ensure reliable color rendering for professional productions.

• Multiple lighting modes:

  Choose from CCT, HSI, RGBW, XY Coordinates, Gel, and Effect modes to match scenes or create stylized looks. HSI mode provides 36,000 colors, and Gel Mode includes 460 gels from LEE and ROSCO for quick matching to traditional filters.

• Quiet and efficient cooling:

  Five fan modes (Smart, Full Speed, Low Speed, Pause, Off) let you balance cooling and noise. In Smart mode the fixture can run as quietly as 19 dB(A), which helps prevent interference with sensitive audio recording.

• Durable, weather-resistant build:

  The lamp head is rated IP55, and a rain cover is supplied for the control unit. Together they offer protection against rain, snow, and dust, allowing use in a wide range of weather conditions.

• Comprehensive control options:

  Control the Alien 300C from the onboard interface, the remote controller, or the Nanlink App 2.0. It also supports DMX/RDM and wireless DMX via LumenRadio CRMX. The updated user interface uses intuitive icons and minimal text, and you can save and recall presets to speed up repeat setups.

• Versatile power solutions:

  The light accepts AC/DC power and runs on dual V-mount batteries (14.4V–28V). It supports hot-swapping between power sources so you can maintain continuous operation during long shoots.
