Packing 150 watts of power into a COB light that’s less than six pounds and doesn’t use a ballast is no easy feat. The Nanlux Evoke 150C LED spotlight achieves just that, while utilizing the Nebula C8 light engine for impressively accurate colors.

I drive an old pickup truck. I love it. It works, but it’s also twenty-years old, and its creaky joints can be heard from the sidewalks as it rattles around the roads between North Queens and South Brooklyn.
