Nanlite LED fixture line with variable color temperature and RGB control — 3200K to 5600K stepless. Compact, cool-running, studio and location agnostic.
Nanlite's DasColor series revolutionizes working with modern LED lights on set — we're talking about a family of devices that combines color temperature mixing and full RGB control without the typical compromises of earlier LED generations. The lights run seamlessly between 3200K (tungsten-like) and 5600K (daylight), meaning you no longer have to lug around two separate types of lights on set — a DasColor adapts, not the other way around.
The practical advantage: The series is incredibly compact and lightweight. On set, this means you rig faster, save space in the transport vehicle, and can react flexibly if the director spontaneously wants the lighting different. Power consumption is moderate, heat generation minimal — unlike classic tungsten lights, you can place a DasColor next to an actor without them breaking out in a sweat. The RGB capability also opens up possibilities: you can add subtle color casts, establish color contrasts between key and fill, or create creative color grading effects directly on set — those who utilize this save time and effort later in grading.
DasColor makes particular sense for exterior shoots. The units are robust enough for weather, battery life is decent, and the ability to match sunlight (5600K) without setting up diffusion saves assistant time and equipment. Indoors in the studio, DasColor is ideal for accent lights, background effects, or flexible key sources — while you keep classic softbox systems for your main modulation.
An important point for post-production: Because DasColor doesn't require an external dimmer or complex remote control (everything runs via app or DMX, depending on the model), you can reproducibly maintain the same color and intensity values across multiple takes — this makes color matching in the editing suite significantly less stressful. Those who work with systematic lighting and want to save weight and space will quickly make DasColor their standard. Also ideal as a complementary system alongside established tungsten or HMI rigs.
