The Aputure Nova P300c is a professional-grade 300W RGBWW LED soft panel, marking the debut of Aputure’s “Nova” line of LED fixtures. It features a cutting-edge LED chipset that combines red, green, blue, warm white, and cool white LEDs to achieve superior color accuracy, increased output, and rich tonal quality. Designed to meet the demands of any filmmaking environment, the P300c delivers a powerful output of over 9,000 lux at 1 meter with a broad 120° beam angle. This makes it ideal for lighting large areas while maintaining the soft, wraparound quality filmmakers expect from a panel light. The fixture supports smooth 0–100% stepless dimming without flicker or color shifting, offering full control over ambient light on set.
One of the standout features of the Nova P300c is its expansive CCT range of 2,000K to 10,000K—Aputure’s widest to date—along with plus/minus green adjustment in CCT mode, allowing users to fine-tune their white balance and match any environment or practical source. With an SSI of 85 in tungsten and 74 in daylight, plus CRI and TLCI ratings of 95+, the P300c delivers exceptional color fidelity, outperforming many industry-standard alternatives.
For creative versatility, the P300c offers full-color control through HSI, RGB, and X,Y modes, enabling precise tuning of up to 1 billion color combinations. The advanced RGBWW chipset covers more than 90% of the Rec.2020 color space, making it an incredibly capable color-mixing light. It also includes a built-in library of over 300 industry-standard gels and supports a full suite of 15 built-in lighting effects such as fireworks, lightning, paparazzi, and cop car, providing a quick solution for dynamic on-set lighting.
The Nova P300c is built for both ease of use and adaptability. It features an integrated multi-voltage power supply (100–240V AC), and is also capable of DC battery operation from 24V to 48V via 3-pin XLR, allowing it to work seamlessly in studio or on-location shoots. The fixture’s compact form factor and aluminum construction keep it lightweight and durable, while its dual junior/baby pin mounting system ensures compatibility with a wide range of stands and grip equipment.
Control is streamlined with the inclusion of a detachable handheld control box, which connects via 5-pin XLR and can be mounted directly to the light or remotely using a lighting clamp. The control box features an OLED display and three intuitive control knobs, plus four programmable preset buttons for quick recall of frequently used settings. The Nova P300c supports both wired (5-pin DMX512) and wireless (Sidus Link via Sidus Mesh) control, allowing full integration into professional lighting setups. Through the Sidus Link app, users can control every aspect of the P300c’s output—including brightness, CCT, HSI, RGB, XY, FX, and presets—and match lighting colors using their smartphone camera.
Designed with compatibility and expandability in mind, the Nova P300c supports a wide array of modifiers. Aputure’s own 50x70cm softbox slots directly into the panel’s accessory slot, and third-party accessories from Chimera, DoPchoice, and Honeycrates are also supported. These options give users precise control over beam shaping and light softness, making the P300c adaptable to any lighting scenario.
For transport and protection, Aputure offers a dedicated hard-shell rolling case with custom-cut foam, ensuring safe travel between sets. Whether you’re operating in a fully equipped studio or working on a fast-paced location shoot, the Nova P300c’s durable design, flexible power options, and advanced feature set make it an essential tool for modern filmmakers.
As the first professional full-color mixing fixture in the Aputure lineup, the Nova P300c sets a new standard in LED soft panel lighting. From high-output white light to dynamic effects and mobile control, the P300c is built to handle anything from blockbuster productions to run-and-gun setups. It represents a true convergence of power, precision, and portability—ready to meet the demands of any creative vision.
