Building upon more than 30 years in the industry, the Dyno 650C and 1200C are Nanlux’s most powerful RGBWW LED Lights to date.
Developed specifically for movie, television and media production applications, Nanlux is positioning both lights as more affordable solutions when compared to similar lights from manufacturers such as ARRI.
As a comparison, Nanlux claims that the Dyno 650C outputs almost twice as much light as ARRI’s SkyPanel S60-C with the 1200C output coming in at around 14% less than ARRI’s SkyPanel S360-C.
Because of this, both lights should not only appeal to higher-end cine rental houses, but also to production companies who are looking for more affordable lighting options to purchase outright.

Power wise, the 650C outputs 650W (nominal)/700W (max) with the larger 1200C outputting 1200W (nominal)/1400W (max).
Quality of Light
In terms of quality of light, both the 650C and 1200C offer an average CRI and TCLI of 95 and are fully tunable between 2700K – 20000K and offer a beam angle of up to 160º.
Both lights are dimmable from 0 – 100% (in stepless increments of 0.1%), whether using tungsten, daylight or any of the 16 million colour options available.
Users also have the option to choose from one of the 15 built-in, customizable practical effects designed to recreate the look of a variety of scenes including:
- Flashing police lights
- TV set
- Paparazzi camera flashes
- Candle/fire effects
- Disco/club effects
- Flickering light bulbs
- Fireworks
- Explosions
- Welding
Size and Weight
The 650C features a 2×1 shape (857 x 173 x 630mm / 33.74″ x 6.81″ x 24.80″), while the larger, more powerful, 1200C features a 3×3 shape (1023 x 173 x 918mm / 40.28″ x 6.81″ x 36.14″).
The 650C light panel weighs a hefty 15.8kg (34.8lbs) on it’s own, but tops out at 21.8kg (almost 50lbs) when you add the power adapter diffuser.
The 1200C isn’t exactly lightweight either, with the light panel alone weighs more than the 650C (with power and diffuser attached) at 26.2kg (57.8lbs). When you add the power adapter and diffuser, the 1200C tips the scales at 36.7kg (just over 80lbs).
