Delicate Adjustment, More Than One Choice

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

Thanks to hardware upgrades and software improvements, the Alien Series now achieves superior linear dimming. Dimming remains smooth even at the lowest brightness levels from 0.0% to 1.0%, allowing easy simulation of the ramp-up process of traditional light sources.

With seven built-in DMX dimming curves and fifteen DMX modes, the Alien Series meets demanding control requirements for complex dimming rates and lighting setups.

Designed for Quiet Operation

When designing the Alien 150C and 300C, Nanlite engineers prioritized quiet operation and efficient heat dissipation from the LEDs. To achieve this, the back of the panel is entirely covered with an aluminum alloy heatsink and is cooled by a powerful airflow from dual fans. This improvement in heat dissipation allows for a further reduction in the size and weight of the cooling system, making the panels smaller and lighter.

Equipped with five fan modes (smart, full speed, low speed, pause, off), the Alien Series can meet a wide variety of shooting and audio recording needs. In smart mode, the average sound level is only 19 dB(A).

Additionally, when absolute silence is required, the newly added pause mode allows the fans to be temporarily turned off while the light continues to operate at 100% brightness.

*In SMART mode, the panel will automatically switch fan speed depending on the ambient temperature.

In SMART and FULL SPEED modes, maximum output is 100%.

In LOW SPEED mode, maximum output is 50%.

In PAUSE mode, maximum output is 100%. (When the panel reaches critical temperature, the fan will automatically switch to smart mode.)

In OFF mode, maximum output is 15%.

Flexible Power Choices

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

Both Alien 150C and Alien 300C support hot-swapping between different power options*. This allows seamless switching between power methods without interrupting their operation.

*The current intensity must be within the supported range of the selected power option during hot-swapping.
