The Nanlite Alien 150C and 300C are groundbreaking RGBWW LED panel lights that deliver professional-grade output in remarkably compact and lightweight designs. The Alien 150C weighs only 7.9 lb (3.6 kg), making it 13% lighter than competing panels of similar power, while the Alien 300C tips the scales at just 14.5 lb (6.6 kg), a full 45% lighter than comparable alternatives. Both panels are engineered for fast deployment, featuring included pop-up softboxes that remain attached in the case for near-instant setup. Within seconds, the lights go from packed to powered, lit, and ready to shoot—whether you're on a studio set or in the field.
Despite their minimal footprints—just 3.7" thick for the 150C and 3.9" for the 300C—these lights provide stunning brightness. The Alien 150C outputs 13,050 lux at 1 meter (5600K), and the 300C doubles that, reaching 28,630 lux. They feature a rugged all-metal build, 360° rotating yokes with single-sided stepless locks, and are fully IP55 weather-resistant. Nanlite also includes rain covers to protect the Control Units and V-Mount batteries, allowing these fixtures to perform flawlessly in rain and harsh outdoor environments.
Color reproduction is exceptional across both models. The Alien 150C and 300C deliver an average CRI of 96, TLCI of 97, TM-30 Rf of 94, and Rg of 100. SSI scores are 84 at 3200K and 74 at 5600K, ensuring color fidelity for professional image making. These fixtures feature a wide CCT range from 2700K to 12000K, with ±150 green/magenta shift, and full RGB color output through multiple control modes including HSI, XY Coordinates, RGBW (with independent channel control), and 151 preloaded gel presets. You also get 15 customizable effects that can be saved via the NANLINK app.
Control options are advanced and flexible. Both fixtures include onboard controls, 2.4G compatibility with the WS-RC-C2 handheld remote or WS-TB-1 transmitter box, Bluetooth connectivity with the free NANLINK app, and professional-grade wired DMX/RDM ports. Built-in CRMX LumenRadio support ensures seamless integration into wireless lighting ecosystems, making them ideal for studio, stage, and location work.
Power versatility is another standout. The Alien 150C runs at full brightness from a single 14.4V–14.8V or 26V–28V V-Mount battery, offering approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes of runtime at 100% using a 26V 270Wh battery. The Alien 300C has dual V-Mount plates and can achieve 100% output from two 14.4V, 26V, or mixed voltage batteries, delivering about 1 hour and 20 minutes of runtime at max power. Both fixtures can also be powered via AC or compatible 24V (150C) / 48V (300C) external sources.
Designed for practical, on-set usability, these panels include a fast-access UI with intuitive icons, max/constant output modes, and fan control options (silent, smart, off). A USB port enables firmware updates and can also power external DMX receivers. Thoughtful accessories round out the package, including dual-layer diffusion, eggcrate grids, quick-release stand clamps, and padded carrying cases that keep gear protected without adding bulk.
