About Anova
Thankyou for purchasing Rotolight ANOVA, the world’s most 
advanced LED Floodlight.
Rotolight have developed the AlphaNova series of Professional LED Ringlights to 
utilise a new WiFi technology, which allows iPhone or iPad to control the light’s 
brightness and colour temperature, using the Magic Eye (Pat Pending) application. 
For the rst time this unique technology allows the AlphaNova lights to ‘see’ and 
measure colour and brightness. (The Magic Eye App is available from the iTunes APP 
Store).
The Rotolight ANOVA is the rst product release from the AlphaNova series and is a 
true ‘continuous light’ which does not use PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to control 
the brightness. You can therefore use incredibly short exposure times (1/200,000th 
of a second) and not get blank frames. The ANOVA is a Bi-Colour LED Ring Flood, 
and provides a natural, softly diused, ‘shadowless’ circular beam at 110 degree 
beam angle. ANOVA has the equivalent light output as an ecient 1000 watt 
tungsten bulb (calculated at 18.5 lumens per watt/360 degree radiant angle – note 
that tungsten bulbs vary in eciency, from 8 lumens per watt, typically around 15 
lumens per watt) . 
We call ANOVA an EcoFlood as it only uses 38 watts of energy at full output 
(to deliver 1000 watts at 5600k), so you can expect excellent extended battery 
operation. 
ANOVA is equipped with a standard V-Lock broadcast battery connector plate which 
also supports Anton Bauer goldmount batteries (using the optional Anton Bauer 
QR200A plate adapter). You can run ANOVA from a D-Tap port on a broadcast 
battery (to the 15VDC Input) or via the supplied universal AC to DC Power Adapter 
(100-240v to 15V DC 60W). The ANOVA has been specially designed to be fully 
serviceable thanks to its modular component design. 
Please take care of your ANOVA, and it will provide you with many years of excellent 
service.
