In recent years, both Godox and Nanlux have focused on creating high-output light fixtures for the professional filmmaking market, such as the Evoke 2400B Spot light and the MG2400Bi LED light. These lights have incredible light outputs, which stand as the future of power and innovation in the realm of professional lighting fixtures. 

To help you pick the best to suit your needs, we'll carefully compare the differences between these lights: 

Godox  MG2400Bi

Aputure  Evoke 2400B

Round 1: Power

In terms of power consumption, the MG2400Bi takes the lead in this round with an impressive power output of 2900W. Its high power suggests a robust and potent performance, making it much more suitable for those who prioritise energy efficiency. Therefore, it is valuable for a wide range of applications, including scenarios where strong and impactful illumination is required, such as large video productions.

On the other hand, the Nanlux 2400B spot light, with its 2400W power consumption, is still substantial for various lighting applications. However, when compared with the MG2400Bi, the Evoke 2400B has slightly lower power consumption. Its performance may be better suited to scenarios with a more moderate output requirement, which is not as demanding as those required of Godox MG2400Bi. 

Round 2: Performance 

The Godox MG2400Bi LED light proves to be the better option in terms of illuminance at various distances. In detail, the MG2400Bi outshines the Nanlux 2400B spot light with a higher illuminance level, providing 9700 lux at 3m compared to the Evoke’s 8732 lux. Simultaneously, at 5m, the MG2400Bi maintains its lead, offering 3950 lux compared to the Evoke 2400B’s 3478 lux. This better performance shows that the MG2400Bi produces a more intense light source, even in larger shooting spaces or requiring consistent brightness across varying distances.

Round 3: Colour Accuracy and Consistency 

The Evoke 2400B and MG2400Bi, both belonging to the high-class category of lighting solutions, share commendable specifications in terms of colour rendering and lighting consistency. However, there are subtle differences in their performance metrics. 

Starting with the Nanlux 2400B spot light, this lighting solution stands out with a CRI of 96 and a TLCI of 97. These high scores signify its ability to accurately reproduce colours and maintain consistent lighting for professional applications such as filmmaking and video production. The Evoke 2400B's impressive TLCI of 97 indicates minimal deviation from ideal lighting conditions.

On the other hand, the Godox MG2400Bi LED light, while still offering a notable CRI of 96, features a slightly lower TLCI of 96. This feature determines a slightly lower level of consistency compared to the Evoke 2400B. While the CRI remains the same between the two models, the MG2400Bi with a TLCI of 96 suggests a minor difference in maintaining optimal lighting conditions for television production or other broadcast applications.

Round 4: Adjustment Colour Temperature 

Another notable difference between these two lights is their adjustable CCT ranges. The MG2400Bi offers a wide range of CCT adjustments, from 2800K to 6500K. This extended range provides users with an expansive spectrum of colour temperatures to work with, offering greater flexibility for achieving diverse lighting effects and adapting to various shooting environments. The ability to fine-tune the colour temperature across this wide range is especially beneficial for professionals who demand precise control over their lighting conditions, catering to a variety of creative needs and scenarios.

Conversely, the Nanlux 2400B spot light offers a commendable CCT range of 2700K to 6500K, has a slightly wider scope compared to the Godox MG2400Bi LED light. This range still provides versatility for adapting to different lighting scenarios and achieving a range of creative effects. However, the subtle variation in the lower end of the spectrum might be a consideration for users who prioritise the specific warmer tones associated with temperatures below 2700K.

Round 5: Waterproof Rating 

One of the differences between the Nanlux Evoke 2400B and the MG2400Bi spot lights is their waterproof rating. The Evoke 2400B boasts a higher waterproof rating of IP55. This rating indicates that the Evoke 2400B is designed to withstand dust ingress completely and is also able to protect from low-pressure water jets from any direction. This level of protection is particularly advantageous in situations where the lights may be exposed to adverse weather conditions or challenging outdoor environments. 

While the Godox MG2400Bi LED light comes with a slightly lower waterproof rating of IP54, it still provides a commendable level of protection. It offers resistance to dust and protection from water splashes. Although it doesn’t offer the same level of protection as water jets like the Evoke 2400B, the MG2400Bi is still a reliable choice for outdoor shoots and scenarios with unpredictable weather conditions. It provides adequate protection against environmental factors, ensuring the lights remain functional and secure in various outdoor settings. 

Round 6: Weight and Dimension

The Evoke 2400B has dimensions of 16.8 x 12.5 x 10.4” and a weight of 15kg, which is a more compact and lightweight design. This makes the Evoke 2400B a portable option, suitable for users who may need to transport their lighting equipment frequently or have space constraints in their working environment. When compared, the Godox MG2400Bi LED light has larger dimensions of 16.10 x 12.5 x 10.4” and a weight of 22kg. This means the MG2400Bi is a robust choice, which could be advantageous in providing stability and durability, such as in studio settings. 

Round 7: Accessories Modifiers for the Evoke 2400Bi and MG2400Bi 

Big lights like these need big output holes and big modifiers. So each of the Godox MG2400Bi and Nanlux Evoke 2400B has its own mounting mechanism. These mounting systems are not only larger, more substantial but also smarter because of their own electronic contact, allowing communication between each light and its modifiers to optimise the settings 

However, these lights reveal different performances when combined with their own modifiers. For example, when testing at 3m, both lights were equipped with 45° reflectors at a 4300K colour temperature. The MG2400Bi slightly edges out the Evoke 2400B by providing 43200 lux compared to 41800 lux. As with 5m, the MG2400Bi maintains its lead, delivering 13000 lux compared to the Evoke 2400B’s 12270 lux. With the MG2400B’ modifiers, it consistently outperforms the Evoke 2400B because of its ability to deliver higher illuminance levels, making it a strong contender for professionals requiring powerful lighting solutions.
