NANLUX Matrix 2500B and 2500C: array lighting specs and price

Written by Andy Stout | May 18, 2026 11:59:59 AM

NANLUX has launched the Matrix 2500B and Matrix 2500C, four-head 2500 W fixtures built for modular lighting arrays. IP66-rated, with Nebula B4 and Nebula C8 light engines respectively, they ship Q3 2026.

Previewed at NAB 2026, NANLUX has announced two new four-head integrated fixtures, the Matrix 2500B and Matrix 2500C, designed for multi-fixture lighting arrays. Both deliver 2500 W output in a compact 40 × 40 × 23.5 cm (15.75 × 15.75 × 9.25 in) magnesium alloy housing rated IP66.

Two lights, two engines

The fixtures are built around different light engines. The 2500B uses NANLUX's Nebula B4 engine, a system combining four types of white LEDs to cover 2700K–6500K with ±80 green/magenta control. The 2500C uses the Nebula C8 eight-color engine, which extends the range to 1000K–20,000K with ±200 green/magenta adjustment.

Both achieve CRI/TLCI of 98/98 and offer 0.1% dimming resolution for smooth transitions across the full output range. The 2500B has two lighting modes (CCT and Effect); the 2500C adds HSI, HSIW, RGBW, XY Coordinates, and Gel modes for a total of seven.

Output figures are measured with the included FL-MT25 Motorized Fresnel Lens at 16° and 3 m at 5600K: the 2500B reaches 103,000 lux, while the 2500C delivers 67,900 lux.

Array usage

Four Matrix units can be mounted on the optional four-light frame to form a 10,000 W array with synchronized control via a single signal

The lights are designed for modular use. An optional four-light frame groups four units into a 10,000 W array, with a 4-way power distribution cable and EXT port cable handling power and synchronized control from a single signal. Lamp spacing between adjacent fixtures is matched to the internal lamp pitch within each head, which NANLUX says produces a continuous, even beam across the full face of the array. Multiple arrays can be combined on truss systems for larger installations.

Cooling uses a front-to-rear airflow path to reduce heat buildup in stacked configurations. Four fan modes are available (Smart, Full Speed, Low Speed, and Off) with Smart mode adjusting fan speed to ambient temperature to limit noise on set.

The Matrix 2500B and 2500C carry an IP66 rating on both the fixture body and the included FL-MT25 Motorized Fresnel Lens

Control options cover on-board panel (three knobs, four buttons), wired and wireless remote, NANLINK App 2.0, DMX/RDM, LumenRadio CRMX, Art-Net/sACN, and NFC for batch DMX configuration across multiple fixtures. In virtual production workflows, individual lamp heads within each fixture can be addressed independently via DMX.

The FL-MT25 Motorized Fresnel Lens is included in both kits and covers a 16°–48° zoom range, with all four lenses in an array adjustable simultaneously via remote. It carries the same IP66 rating as the fixture body. Optional accessories include a Dual-Head Yoke and Four-Light Frame for two- and four-fixture configurations.

Pricing and availability 

The Matrix 2500B is priced at $6580 (standard kit) or $6880 with flight case. The Matrix 2500C is $7280 or $7580 with flight case, excluding local taxes. Both ship Q3 2026 and will be shown at Cine Gear Expo in Los Angeles, June 5–6, booth S3011.
