* Only the lamp head is rated IP55.

More Light, Less Weight

With flexibility, transportability and weight demand in mind, the Nanlite team designed the Alien 150C and 300C with a separate lamp head and control unit.

3.6 kg (150C) / 6.6 kg (300C)

The lamp head of the Alien 150C weighs only 3.6kg/7.94lb, and the Alien 300C just 6.6kg/14.55lb. These represent significant reductions of 13% and 45% respectively compared to similar products on the market. This allows the Alien lights to be easily mounted on boom arms or lightweight stands.

The Alien 150C features an illumination area of 24.6 × 18 cm (9.7 × 7.1"), while the Alien 300C measures 36 × 24.8 cm (14.2 × 9.8”). Paired with the included pop-up softbox, they can create perfect soft light while maintaining a compact size.

Precision Optics, Illuminating Excellence

The Alien series adopts an advanced optical design, together with alternately laid and rotated WW and RGB light beads, along with excellent light mixing technology. This combination allows it to output a very bright and even beam.

Outstanding Colour Fidelity

• Average 96 | CRI

• Average 97 | TLCI

• Average 94 | TM-30 Rf

• Average 100 | TM-30 Rg

• 2700K-12000K | CCT Range

• ±150 | G/M Adjustment

With a wide colour temperature range from 2700K to 12000K and ±150 G/M adjustment capability, the Alien 150C and Alien 300C can effortlessly match other light sources and simulate various times of day. Nanlite's exceptional RGBWW colour mixing system ensures outstanding light quality, allowing users to illuminate scenes with a myriad of colours.

New Interface, Enhanced Efficiency

The Alien series is equipped with Nanlite’s new-generation user interface, aiming to provide creators with an unparalleled experience. By incorporating intuitive icons and minimizing textual information, the new interface is clear at a glance. The redesigned menu layout offers a clearer operational logic, assisting users in quickly locating needed functionsand effortlessly adjusting parameters.

In response to users' demand for quick access to specific lighting settings, the Alien series is equipped with a preset function, allowing for quick saving and recalling of parameters. With this function, users can save a lot of time on setting parameters and have more time for production.

IP55 Rated Panel + Control Unit Rain Cover = Complete Protection

Nanlite always believes that reliable lighting fixtures with comprehensive protection are one of the foundations for smooth production progress. Therefore, lighting designed for use in rugged environments is of paramount importance.

To tackle all-weather conditions and uncertainties on set, the Alien series features a metal lamp head with an IP55 rating, combined with a specially designed rain cover for the control unit. This complete protection ensures that the demands of lighting in rainy, snowy, or dusty environments are met, enabling users to overcome various location challenges.

Multiple Modes, Unlock Imagination

To support the endless imagination of creators, the Alien series offers various modes. Regardless of the scenario or application, users can find the best solutions with Alien's different modes.

• CCT Mode

  Reproduces various colours of light with a colour temperature range of 2700K to 12000K and ±150 green/magenta adjustments.
   

• HSI Mode

  Allows direct and fast adjustment of hue, saturation, and intensity, offering a wide selection of 36,000 colours.
   

• RGBW Mode

  Allows the user to independently select the values of the red, green, blue, and white channels, creating a wide range of colour combinations.
   

• XY Coordinates

  Achieves precise colour control by adjusting the values of XY coordinates within the selected zone of the CIE 1931 colour space.
   

• Gel Mode

  Includes 460 gels from the brands LEE and ROSCO, with the option to switch the base CCT, reproducing the lighting effects of traditional physical gels.
   

• Effect Mode

  Offers 15 effects, each with customizable parameters, creating immersive lighting effects.

Comprehensive Reliable Controls

The Alien series provides comprehensive control options covering both wired and wireless, enabling users to choose their preferred control method based on their habits and production requirements.

• On-Board Control

  The 3.2" screen clearly displays options and icons. It features the new generation Nanlite user interface with four buttons and three knobs.
   

• Remote Controller

  The Alien series features a built-in 2.4G module, enabling quick and easy remote adjustments of basic settings.
   

• NANLINK APP 2.0 Control

  With the new light plot function and an enhanced interface, the Nanlink App 2.0 offers a more efficient and user-friendly wireless lighting control experience. Within the Nanlink App, users can control the Alien series together with other Nanlite and Nanlux fixtures.
   

• DMX/RDM Control

  Equipped with 5-Pin XLR DMX in and out ports, it supports DMX/RDM control through a wired connection to a lighting console for accurate and reliable group control.
   

• LumenRadio CRMX

  The Alien 150C and 300C are equipped with CRMX, enabling stable wireless DMX control.

Delicate Tuning, More than One Choice

The Alien series offers three different dimming methods: users can choose 0.1% increments for precise light control throughout the range, 1% increments for quick adjustments, or 0.1% increments specifically for brightness below 10%, ensuring both smooth tuning at low intensity and fast adjustments above 10% brightness.

Furthermore, thanks to hardware upgrades and software enhancements, the Alien series now achieves superior linear dimming. Dimming remains smooth even at the lowest brightness levels of 0.0% to 1.0%, allowing for an easy simulation of the fade-up process of traditional light sources.

With seven built-in DMX dimming curves and fifteen DMX modes, the Alien series meets the demanding control requirements for complex dimming speeds and lighting settings.

Designed for Quiet Operation

Nanlite engineers prioritized quiet operation and efficient heat dissipation from the LEDs when designing the Alien 150C and 300C. To achieve this, the rear of lamp head is fully covered with an aluminumalloy heat sink and enhanced by powerful airflow from two fans. This improvement in heat dissipation allows for a further reduction in the size and weight of the cooling system, making the lights smaller and lighter.

Additionally, when absolute silence is required, the newly added Pause mode allows the fans to be temporarily turned off while supporting the lamp head set at 100% brightness.

Versatile Power Choices

To cope with the complex and ever-changing conditions on set, the Alien series is equipped with reliable and versatile power options. Not only can it be connected to AC/DC power sources for sustained power assurance, but it also allows for the option of using 14.4V-14.8V or 26V-28V batteries for remote operation. The Alien 150C requires only one V-mount battery for power, while the Alien 300C supports the mixed use of V-mount batteries with different voltages.

Both the Alien 150C and Alien 300C support hot swapping among different power supply options. This allows for seamless switching between power supply methods without interrupting the production.
