FAQs
How bright is the Nova II 1x1 light panel?
At 5600K, the panel outputs around 108,200 lux at 1 metre with its native 35° beam. That’s enough to use it as a key in smaller setups or as a controlled fill or edge light in larger scenes. Even with the diffuser in place, it maintains a usable output level for shaping softer light. It gives you flexibility without pushing the fixture to its limits.
How accurate is the panel’s colour balance?
The Nova II 1x1 maintains strong consistency with CRI and TLCI 95, alongside solid TM-30 and SSI values. In practice, this keeps skin tones natural and colours stable across different lighting conditions. The extended CCT range and green- or magenta-adjustment help fine-tune the output so it blends cleanly with other sources. This is especially useful when working in mixed lighting.
What does the BLAIR-CG chipset add to this setup?
The BLAIR-CG chipset uses a seven-diode design that expands the available colour spectrum and improves white light consistency. In use, it helps maintain output while shifting colour and reduces colour drift across the range. This makes it easier to match multiple fixtures or dial in subtle adjustments without affecting exposure. It keeps the light predictable when working quickly.
How is the light controlled on set?
You can control the fixture directly from the rear interface, or remotely via DMX, CRMX, Art-Net, or sACN. Sidus Link and Sidus Link Pro allow wireless control for smaller crews or quick changes. The fixture also supports firmware updates via app, USB, or DMX, which helps when managing multiple lights. It integrates easily into both simple and more complex lighting setups.
How quickly can I rig and modify the panel?
The removable yoke keeps mounting straightforward on stands or grids. The QuickClip front-mount system speeds up the attachment of modifiers compared to traditional slide-in designs. This makes a noticeable difference when adjusting setups during a shoot. Once rigged, the panel stays stable and easy to position.

Buy now pay later
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.
