The Bi-Color NANLUX Evoke 2400B LED fixture promises a few innovations: a high output rivaling an HMI, increased flexibility (with a clever way to navigate 15A or 20A circuits), and a new electronic system for tracking compatible accessories.

The NANLUX engineering team had a choice. They could have aimed the Evoke 2400B at the pro-only crowd with a Bates plug or left it open to more owners/ops. In my opinion, NANLUX...
