The Chromabeams Nova 1000 stands as the flagship large-venue lighting fixture, integrating Sportsbeams’ proprietary Chromabeams™ color technology for an exceptional balance of broadcast-quality white and full-spectrum color performance. This powerful 1000W fixture produces more than 135,000 lumens, seamlessly combining crisp 5700K white light with tunable RGBA color output to achieve vivid, accurate, and dynamic results across any environment. With a high color rendering index (CRI) range from 75 to 90+, it delivers precise color fidelity for professional sports, concerts, and live entertainment where visual clarity is paramount.
Every element of its construction reflects durability and precision. The Nova 1000 employs a plastic-free optical path housed within a robust aluminum body that ensures long-term performance and optical integrity. A patented active cooling system maintains optimal internal temperatures even during prolonged use in extreme conditions, enhancing component lifespan while reducing the fixture’s overall weight to just 48.5 pounds. This active, military-grade system uses exterior-rated fans tested for over 490,000 hours of continuous operation in variable climates. Intelligent thermal monitoring tracks fan speed, temperature, and operational data in real time, preserving reliability across all applications.
The fixture’s lighting precision is achieved through Sportsbeams’ patented single-glass optic lens™, an innovation derived from more than a decade of Hollywood broadcast lighting experience. This lens technology eliminates the common “skittle effect” and glare issues found in fixtures using plastic optics. Instead, it evenly redistributes light over 50,000 times the surface area of each individual LED, producing a uniform lumen density of 346 lumens per square inch. The result is flawless light coverage with balanced color output and glare-free visual comfort, making it ideal for professional-grade installations in arenas, stadiums, and performance spaces.
Optical performance spans a lumen output range from 60,396 to 135,000 lumens, with efficiency levels between 64 and 118 lumens per watt. The fixture supports correlated color temperature (CCT) adjustment from 2200K to 5700K, enabling precise color tuning from warm ambiance to crisp daylight white. Multiple CRI/TLC options—75/75 and 90/85—ensure compatibility with broadcast lighting standards and high-definition imaging. Electrical performance includes a power factor of 0.95 at 277V and a frequency range from 45 to 66 Hz, with input voltage options from 176V–305V or 347V–528V AC and 51V DC. Comprehensive electrical protection—covering surge, overload, over-temperature, and over-voltage events—ensures automatic recovery and long-term dependability.
Built for both indoor and outdoor use, the Nova 1000 withstands extreme temperatures from -40°C to +50°C, backed by environmental certifications including RoHS, FCC, and salt spray compliance per MIL-STD-810 standards. Its rugged aluminum enclosure is vibration-rated to ANSI C136.31-2010 3G, while the effective projected area (EPA) of 3.14 ft², with or without visor, supports flexible pedestal or pendant mounting. The result is a fixture that maintains consistent optical and structural integrity under demanding real-world conditions, ideal for large-scale arenas, stadiums, municipal fields, and event venues.
The Nova 1000’s symmetrical design and 360° coverage create evenly distributed light across expansive surfaces, ensuring optimal visibility for players, performers, and audiences alike. With DMX control capability, users can achieve precision lighting management, dynamic color changes, and scene synchronization in complex lighting environments. The integration of RGB and tunable white light allows creative flexibility across sports and entertainment applications, offering seamless transitions between broadcast-quality white lighting and rich, saturated color effects.
Through its blend of rugged engineering, patented cooling, intelligent monitoring, and superior optical control, the Chromabeams Nova 1000 defines the modern standard for professional sports and entertainment lighting. Its unmatched combination of durability, efficiency, and visual precision ensures consistent, glare-free performance and a vibrant, lifelike viewing experience across every event and venue.
