The Aputure NOVA 9 Degrees 2x1 Tunable White LED Light Panel is built to deliver powerful, long-throw illumination with exceptional precision. Expanding the NOVA series, this high-output 2x1 panel features 650W of power and an ultra-tight native 9° beam angle, producing up to 29,730 lux at 16.4' (5600K)—making it an ideal solution for filmmakers who need crisp, directional light that carries over long distances.
Designed for creative flexibility, the NOVA 9° 2x1 offers a wide 1800–20,000K color temperature range and is powered by Aputure’s advanced BLAIR LED chipset, which combines blue, lime, amber, indigo, and red diodes for superior spectral accuracy. The lensed LED design includes four horizontal pixel zones for ultra-smooth pixel effects and precise lighting transitions, along with advanced white-point control and green/magenta color correction. Powerful, precise, and highly controllable, the NOVA 9° 2x1 is a standout choice for cinematic lighting, commercial work, and large-scale productions requiring focused, long-range output.
The NOVA 9° 2x1 keeps reliable features such as intuitive onboard or app control, 16-bit DMX512 in/out, LumenRadio CRMX, Art-Net/sACN, as well as batch firmware upgrades through Sidus Link Pro/Sidus Link, USB drive, or DMX. Experience multiple dimming curves, four fan modes, and dual output modes with max and constant settings. Gaffers and lighting technicians will appreciate a QuickClip front-mounting accessory ecosystem, a removable yoke for rigging flexibility, and the ability to stack the NOVA 9° 2x1 into multi-light yoke configurations to form larger, directional arrays. Finally, a rugged IP65-rated body was attentively engineered for the most demanding productions. Here, Aputure includes a conveniently removable yoke, a flat diffuser, a 19.6' long AC power cable, and a 1.6' long safety chain.
Impressive Output
The NOVA 9° 2x1 has a tight 9° beam angle with a bare brightness of 29,730 lux at 16.4' and 5600K, and it features smooth stepless dimming for adjusting light output from 0.1 to 100% with four dimming curves: linear, exponential, logarithmic, and S-shaped. The panel has the same 2x1 form factor as the previous NOVA II 2x1 fixture. Its 27.2 x 15.3" LED panel size is actively fan-cooled and offers four DMX-controllable fan modes: smart, high, medium, and silent.
Just 9°
Achieve a concentrated shaft of light that maintains intensity over long distances, which is ideal for film, television, and commercial production. It works great for simulating sunlight through windows or achieving defined shadow edges and specular highlights. Meaning realistic sunlight, with the ability to shape hard shadows, or achieve long-throw illumination on set. Pair it with the included flat diffusion panel to find exceptional punch and smooth luminance distribution for controlled softness.
Impressive Color Accuracy
Industry-leading fidelity metrics and high color accuracy ratings ensure the NOVA 9° 2x1's ability to faithfully reproduce colors. With CRI 95, TLCI 95, TM-30 Rf 95, and Rg 100 ratings, the fixture ensures natural and lifelike rendering that's ideal for color-critical applications. Other noteworthy ratings include: CQS (CIE D5600) 96, SSI (P3200) 89, and SSI (CIE D5600) 86. The light also provides advanced white point control with green/magenta color correction by +/-G at 100% to conform with the full ASC MITC standard.
BLAIR Chipset
Aputure's advanced BLAIR chipset features a five-diode structure combining blue, lime, amber, indigo, and red emitters. With its 650W output, expansive CCT range, and color accuracy, the NOVA 9° 2x1 delivers clean, reliable illumination designed to replicate the power and precision of natural sunlight. It results in flexibility for matching ambient sources, enhancing skin tones, or achieving color rendition with extended red response.
Batch Firmware Updates
Batch firmware update options ensure dependable performance across productions and can improve the life of professionals working in studios, with the fixture supporting upgrades through Sidus Link Pro, Sidus Link, USB drive, or DMX. Rental houses will also appreciate the NOVA 9° 2x1's combination of a reliable IP65-rated body, high output, and ecosystem compatibility. Whether operating as a single key source or integrated into complex console-controlled networks, the NOVA 9° 2x1 ensures fast, reliable communication.
Durable & Convenient Design
The panel's LEDs are packed into a compact design that doesn't sacrifice power and flexibility, making it a perfect fit for studio installations, onstage use, and on-location environments. A removable yoke is included to facilitate rigging, while the all-new QuickClip direct front-mounting accessory ecosystem improves your workflow by making light shaping easier and faster. The fixture weighs 38 lb without its yoke or 43 lb with its yoke, making it a durable lighting solution with rigging and control options. It has a stackable design to enable powerful 3-light configurations using an optional multi-light bracket. Whether used as a single source or as part of a massive light wall array, the NOVA 9° 2x1 delivers clarity, throw, and precision lighting results.
