Nanlite Forza 500 II Daylight LED Video Spotlight

It's the Nanlite Forza 500 II Daylight LED Video Spotlight, a compact and lightweight powerhouse designed for professional video production and photography. This second-generation fixture builds on the strengths of its predecessor, offering enhanced features and improvements across the board.

The Forza 500 II is renowned for its durable construction and high-quality output. It's equipped with a protected glass-covered COB and a fully redesigned control unit that operates efficiently on AC or side-mounted 26V or 14.4V-14.8V V-Mount batteries (sold separately). This versatile spotlight offers control options for Bluetooth, DMX/RDM, and wireless 2.4G, ensuring seamless integration into any professional setup.

The spotlight delivers highly color-accurate light, thanks to its W(RG) LED light source. It also allows for an adjustable green-to-magenta shift by +/- 80, providing you with the flexibility to achieve the perfect color balance for your footage. The control unit is significantly smaller than the previous generation and operates without a fan, ensuring silent operation.

The Forza 500 II comes with longer cables: 19.8 feet (6 m) for the power cable and 9.8 feet (3 m) for the head cable. It's compatible with a vast number of Bowens-Mount light modifiers, including Nanlite's own offerings. A useful 55 Degree reflector is included, and there are numerous other modifiers available, such as the FL-20G Fresnel with metal barn doors (sold separately), which substantially increases the output.

The redesigned yoke allows 360 Degree rotation and features a stepless, one-sided lock for easy positioning. An umbrella mount for more light-shaping options and the base is compatible with both 5/8'' baby pins and 1 1/8'' junior pins. The fan has 4 modes: Smart, Full Speed, Low Speed, and Off for absolute silence.

The Forza 500 II comes with a padded carrying case with improved cushioning for safe transportation. A USB port allows firmware updates which will add new features in the future, and it can supply power to wireless DMX receivers (sold separately) or other devices.

The Forza 500 II doesn't just look good - it's accurate. You won't waste time in post-production trying to fix color issues. You can fully control Forza 500 II with your phone through Bluetooth with the free NANLINK app for iOS and Android. The Control Unit features locking DMX/RDM in and out ports for advanced control. Built-in 2.4G lets you use the WS-RC-C2 Remote Control (sold separately) or the WS-TB-1 Transmitter Box (sold separately) for larger setups.

This is the second generation of this popular instrument with refinements and upgrades that make it better than ever. It's made by a company that's been focused on manufacturing LED lights for video production and photography for over 30 years, and all of this experience is evident in the Forza 500 II.
