About NanLite Forza 500 II

Discover the NanLite Forza 500B II 580W Bi-Color LED Video Spotlight, a compact yet powerful lighting solution designed for professional videographers and photographers. This spotlight delivers an astounding 67,320 Lux (6254 fc) at 1 meter with the included reflector, ensuring exceptional brightness for any production environment. With an adjustable CCT range from 2700K to 6500K, it provides versatile lighting options to suit various shooting scenarios.

Built for durability and performance, the Forza 500B II features a frosted glass-protected COB, a fully redesigned yoke, and a Control Unit that operates on AC power or side-mounted 26V or 14.4V-14.8V V-Mount batteries (sold separately). Its multiple control options, including Bluetooth, 2.4G, and DMX/RDM, make it a versatile addition to any setup. The spotlight excels in color accuracy, boasting SSI ratings of 84 (3200K) and 74 (5600K), a CRI of 96, and a TLCI of 97, ensuring true-to-life color reproduction.

The innovative WW(RG) LED source and light-mixing chamber allow for easy green-to-magenta shift adjustments by +/- 80, providing precise color control. This comprehensive kit includes the FL-20G Fresnel Lens with removable 8-leaf metal barn doors and a rolling padded case for secure transportation. The Control Unit is 16% smaller than its predecessor and can operate on a single V-Mount battery, enhancing portability.

Compatible with a wide range of Bowens Mount light modifiers, including Nanlite's own, the Forza 500B II offers endless possibilities for light shaping. The upgraded yoke allows for 360-degree rotation, and the base is compatible with baby pins and junior pin mounts. The head fan offers four modes: Smart, Full Speed, Low Speed, and Off, ensuring silent operation when needed.

A USB port facilitates future firmware updates and powers wireless DMX receivers (sold separately). Weighing only 9.5 lbs (4.3 kg) and measuring 15.7 x 9.1 x 5.6 inches, this spotlight is a lightweight powerhouse. Control the Forza 500B II effortlessly via Bluetooth using the free NANLINK app for iOS and Android, or utilize the 2.4G feature with the WS-RC-C2 Remote or WS-TB-1 Transmitter Box (sold separately) for larger setups.

The Control Unit features easy-access, side-mount battery plates, an intuitive OLED screen, and on-board controls with a Lock button. All cables attach to the top, allowing the unit to rest on surfaces during use. The quick-release clamp is robust and fits round or square stands and trusses with ease.

Experience the cutting-edge innovation and quality of the NanLite Forza 500B II Bi-Color LED Video Spotlight, a compact yet formidable solution for all your professional lighting needs.
