Aputure NOVA 9° 2x1 LED Panel Light with Hard Rolling Case Kit
The Aputure NOVA 9° 2x1 is a 650W tunable white 2x1 LED panel with a 1800–20,000K range, designed for long-throw, directional lighting, supplied here with a rolling hard case for transport. Its tight 9° beam holds intensity over distance, making it useful for sunlight effects and defined shadows, while the BLAIR chipset maintains consistent colour and white point control across the full output range.

FAQs
How does the 9° beam perform in real use?
The narrow 9° beam concentrates output into a tight, controlled spread that holds intensity over longer distances. In practice, this makes it well-suited for simulating sunlight through windows or pushing light across larger sets. You get defined shadow edges and strong separation without needing additional focusing tools.
How bright is the Nova 9° 2x1?
At 5600K, the fixture delivers up to 29,730 lux at 5 metres, which is where it starts to show its advantage over wider panels. Instead of spreading output, it keeps the light concentrated, so you retain usable intensity further from the subject. This makes it practical for backlighting, stage work, or lighting through set pieces. It’s designed to work at a distance rather than close range.
How accurate is the light panel’s colour balance?
The Nova 9° 2x1 maintains strong consistency with CRI and TLCI 95, alongside solid TM-30 and SSI values. In use, this keeps skin tones natural and white light stable across the CCT range. The green or magenta adjustment allows you to fine-tune the output to match other sources. This is particularly useful when combining it with softer fixtures.
What does the BLAIR chipset add to the light panel?
The BLAIR chipset uses a five-diode system that focuses on stable white light and extended colour response. In practice, it keeps output consistent while adjusting colour temperature and helps maintain clean whites. This is important for a directional fixture where colour shifts would be more noticeable. It also helps when matching natural daylight or practical sources.
How easy is it to rig and shape this light panel?
The removable yoke makes rigging straightforward on stands or grids. The QuickClip front-mount system speeds up the attachment of modifiers, which helps when adjusting setups. The fixture can also be stacked with others to build larger directional sources. Once positioned, it stays predictable and easy to control.
What features are included with the hard case?
The hard case is designed to carry the panel and key accessories together in a single unit. Custom foam keeps everything secure during transport, reducing movement inside the case. Built-in wheels make it easier to move the fixture between locations, given its weight. It’s a practical addition for crews regularly transporting lighting kits.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
