Nanlite Forza 500B II Bi-Colour LED Light

Nanlite has released the Forza 500B II Bi-Colour LED Light, which has the same robust output and small design as the original Forza 500. This spotlight can be dimmed from 0 to 100% in 0.1% increments and has an adjustable colour temperature of 2700-6500K with a green-magenta shift of +/-80. This allows you to get the precise intensity required for your video and photo productions. Match other fixtures, blend in with any ambient lighting scenario, or allow for artistic expression. The light has four fan modes for speed adjustments or complete silence, a 55° reflector, Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz for wireless control, and DMX/RDM functionality. The light can operate effectively on AC power or on optional V-mount batteries thanks to the control unit's redesign, which also offers power options.

When combined with optional big modifiers, the redesigned curved yoke on the Forza 500B II offers 360° rotation for a wider range of tilting. The lamp's Bowens mount is compatible with a wide range of light modifiers, and its base is compatible with both 5/8" baby pins and 1-1/8" junior pins. The lamp may be used anywhere in the world due to its 110 to 240 VAC power source, but it can also function in situations where AC current is not available using optional side-mounted 26V/14.8V V-mount batteries. To provide protection during storage and transport, a padded carry case is included.

The light offers 12 built-in customisable effects that can be saved as presets using the free NANLINK app.

In shooting situations where you need to match other light sources or achieve a specific look, it can be extremely helpful to adjust the green-to-magenta shift for color correction. The Forza 500B II allows you to tweak the color by +/- 80 to get there. This ability is made possible by the light's LED source.

Four fan modes enhance speed control according to your needs. The fan can also be turned off completely when absolute silence is needed.

Optimised for use in the studio or on location, the light's control unit is equipped with easy-access side battery plates that accommodate V-mount batteries. The Forza 500B II runs on 26V/14.8V V-mount batteries or AC power for easy operation in any location regardless of power availability.

The control unit features a convenient OLED display plus onboard buttons and knobs for precise and easy local control, but the light can also be controlled remotely.

The light has a curved rotating yoke with a one-sided lock and forward articulation. It allows 360° rotation to provide a greater tilting range with optional large modifiers. It also features an incorporated umbrella holder to expand your light-shaping options. Additionally, the light's Bowens mount capability makes the Forza 500B II compatible with a wide range of modifiers.
