The Evoke 5000B is equipped with a Nebula B4 Light Engine developed by Nanlux. This light engine is claimed to not only ensure white light efficiency but also provide a color temperature range of 2700K-6500K and 80 Green/Magenta adjustment. Nanlux developed the Nebula B4 Light Engine, which combines 4 types of white light chips, providing Green/Magenta adjustment capability across the entire color temperature range on a bi-color fixture. According to Nanlux, compared to bi-color lighting produced by full-color light engines, the Nebula B4 Light Engine outperforms them by 30% in white light-emitting efficiency from the same power input.
The built-in professional CSP chips and ultra-high LED light efficiency enable the Evoke 5000B to produce a ton of output, with illuminance approaching that of a 9kW HMI or 24kW tungsten light.
It has a claimed output of 22,210 lux@5M when used at 5600K, with its 45° reflector.
The Evoke 5000B integrates the lamp head, control unit, and power supply into one fixture, significantly reducing both the total weight and size compared to a solution with separate units. With its all-in-one lamp and just one cable, fixture management is simpler and more organized, improving efficiency for both on-set and transportation.
To reduce weight and increase durability, the Evoke 5000B is constructed using high-strength magnesium alloy. It weighs 46kg / 101lb (with yoke).
The Evoke 5000B is constructed with an IP66-rated housing, enabling it to withstand extreme weather conditions and allowing production to continue unaffected in harsh conditions.
The yoke of Evoke 5000B is designed with disc brake, to provide more grip strength that prevents the fixture from accidentally tilting once the angle has been fixed. This ensures precise positioning and on-set safety. There is an angle display on the yoke, ideal for aligning the angles when multiple fixtures are working as a group.
The two sides of the fixture are built with balance adjusting rails, enabling flexible adjustment of the balance position of the head, ensuring that the fixture remains neutral in terms of center of gravity when different accessories are mounted on it.
The Evoke 5000B comes with a skid, which brings general-purpose advantages and conveniences:
- Preventing Wear: The skid elevates the light fixture, effectively preventing direct contact with the ground and wear on the fixture’s bottom.
- Enhancing Efficiency: It can embed into the two handles on the top of the fixture, allowing for the stacking of multiple fixtures and improving transport efficiency.
- Shock Protection: The springs between the fixture and the skid effectively reduce the impact from drops and transport bumps, extending the fixture’s service life.
- Easy operation: It has two handles at both the front and back, making it easy to grab when setting up the fixture or adjusting the tilt angle when the fixture is installed high.
The existing NL mount is added with the PosiTight system, providing dual security to ensure a tighter connection between the fixture and the accessory, resulting in more stable lighting performance.
The Evoke 5000B adopts a unique 95° beam angle, making it suitable for lighting large areas even without a modifier.
With this beam angle and emitting area, the light quality and shadows closely mimic sunlight, making it an ideal solution for simulating natural light.
The smooth dimming of LED lights, especially in controlling brightness from 0.0% to 0.1%, is essential for fade in/out lighting. The Evoke 5000B achieves fully linear dimming performance through newly developed hardware combined with optimized mixing algorithms.
The control panel is equipped with three knobs, four buttons, and a 4.3-inch display screen for intuitive and quick control.
The new-generation user interface provides users with a straightforward menu and user-friendly icons, allowing them to quickly locate the needed options and adjust parameters.
The Evoke 5000B is designed with built-in control, ensuring the timely response of control signals. A new wired controller is included with the fixture, which provides stable wired control when the fixture is rigged high.
The availability of DMX/RDM, Art-Net/sACN, and LumenRadio CRMX control options allows the Evoke 5000B to operate.
The Evoke 5000B is equipped with an extension port, ensuring compatibility with the new IP66-rated wired controller (WC-EXT). This extension port enables connections between the fixture, the motorized yoke (YK-E-EVL), and other accessories, allowing for simultaneous control of all connected devices.
Additionally, the fixture retains a wired control port, allowing compatibility with the existing wired controller (WC-LM6P-C1).
The fixture has two 5-pin XLR DMX in and out ports for DMX/RDM signal transmission, ensuring a stable connection for group control.
The fixture is equipped with two LAN ports, supporting Art-Net/sACN protocol control over Ethernet, ensuring stable signal transmission and enabling long-distance control of multiple fixtures.
The Evoke 5000B has a built-in LumenRadio TimoTwo module, allowing it to connect to the CRMX control ecosystem and providing flexible and stable wireless DMX control.
This cooling system includes Smart, Full Speed, Low Speed, Off, and Pause modes, allowing users to switch between them based on their needs. The Smart mode automatically adjusts the fan speed according to the ambient temperature. In this mode, the noise level is only 44 d BA), ensuring a silent recording environment.
Thanks to the advanced technology, the light source module of the Evoke 5000B is the same size as that of the Evoke 2400B. Adopting the NL mount makes the Evoke 5000B compatible with most accessories for the Evoke 2400B. This means the Evoke 5000B can integrate into the existing accessory ecosystem and, when combined with accessories like the Fresnel, reflector, parallel beam reflector, and softbox, can produce a variety of lighting effects. This reduces the accessory investment required when purchasing a new light fixture.
Additionally, a new larger motorized Fresnel lens, a motorized yoke, and a new wired controller tailored for the Evoke 5000B are also being introduced. Together with the existing Evoke series accessories, these meet the requirements for shaping light, supporting, transporting, and controlling, acting as an efficient and all-round lighting tool on set.
