Thank you for the great test! I would like to add a bit of context, though. The aputure light natively has a narrower beam angle than the evoke because of the recessed COB and the mirrors surrounding it. This makes it brighter when they're compared with no dish. If you put their dishes on you'd almost definitely see that the 1200b is brighter at matching beam angles (45 degrees for example) seeing as the daylight evoke was measured to be brighter at similar beam angles by Andrew Lock from Gaffer and Gear.
Came here to say the same thing. The LED array on the NanLux throws a lot wider than the COB of the Aputure. Both are great, but I’d say the NanLux is a winner due to having a compatible fresnel
Good video and thank you, but these lights have hot spots they will differ in output according to which modifier is attached to the light fixture at the time.
Wait why didnt you do more tests between the Aputure and Nanlux? No one is going to use these open face like that. Theres quite a bit of cherry picking and bias going on here. Why test the orbiter? No one like that disaster anyways.
Because you fail to test the spread in a controlled manner your test means very little. you need to look for a light level at two points, mayb 5m (in your big studio) apart.
@@VitalProductions A light might be 5m from the background (subject), it may produce F22 at a centre spot, and 4m to the left it might be f2.8 or it might be f11, without considering in a controlled manner the nature of this drop off (2.8 or 11) one cannot understand the full illumination power of the fixture. We all understand that many led are hot in the middle which makes them great on youtube or on paper but not so good on set. A test must be designed that will understand if a light is 'spotty' or not. My experience of an M18 bashed into an 8.8 is that it is probably brighter than an led1200 used the same way. For sure im a fan of the leds - I have an ap600 but I think one must take care not to be dragged into thier hype?
the most simple example is a full spot dedo 150 may give many lumens or deep stop (f22) over a tiny area..but we all know such a fixture does not have any real power for filling spaces.

Cool Video guys! Thanks for taking the time and effort to make this.
Nice to see how far led technology has come
Thank you so much for sharing!
Best comparison, cheers

Thank you for this
For a better comparison you can use the parabolic dish Vs the M18
Fresnel on led are not the best you have more lux with the dish

This for me was in a very controlled environment and I simply don’t understand what you are talking about. Can you clarify ?

If you cant see the difference between the barn door cuts of the nanlux and T5 then you need a new line of work.
Hahaha, maybe it’s my eyesight after doing this for 30 years ;-)
