Kelvin Play Pro Wins NAB Product of the Year 2024 Award

In the fast-paced world of cinema lighting, staying ahead of the curve is paramount. And for Team Kelvin, staying ahead isn’t just a goal—it’s a way of life. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that for the second consecutive year, Kelvin has clinched the prestigious NAB Product of the Year Award, this time for our groundbreaking Play Pro.

Why the Play Pro you ask? Well, it is truly a groundbreaking piece of lighting technology. Being the first RGBACL panel light (together with its sibling the Play), it enables lighting angles and a quality of color and light impossible until now.

The Recipe for Success: The Combination of Form Factor, Light Engine and Color Mixing.

But before we delve into this year’s win, let’s take a moment to rewind to 2023. Last year’s NAB Show in Las Vegas was an extraordinary milestone for us. We proudly unveiled the Epos 600, a 600W RGBACL LED Cinema light that captured the imagination of the industry and earned us the coveted Product of the Year 2023 Award.

A moment of validation for our dedication to precision and innovation. This year’s award is proof, that we’re on a winning streak!

Jan Oliver Koch, our Marketing Director, on the essence of Kelvin: “Built by hand in Norway, the meticulous attention to detail needed to be matched by the design as well, so choosing to follow a minimal, Scandinavian design language closely where form follows function was a natural choice. This commitment to craftsmanship and design excellence has been at the core of our philosophy since day one and enables us to push the boundaries of what’s possible, without compromising on the quality.“

At Kelvin, we’re more than just a brand; we’re a passionate team driven by a singular mission—to redefine the possibilities of cinema lighting. Since our inception in 2010, we’ve been relentless innovators, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the industry. Our patented mathematical model for mixing light has revolutionized dynamic lighting, delivering unparalleled precision and consistency across all temperatures and colors.
