Product Description
Adopting the same powerful output and compact form of the original Forza 500, Nanlite has introduced the Forza 500B II Bi-Color LED Monolight Travel 2-Light Kit. This kit includes two Forza 500B II monolights, each with a 55° reflector, a control unit with V-mount battery plates, a power cord, and a super clamp. A carry case with built-in wheels is supplied to store and transport your lights.
Featuring an adjustable color temperature of 2700-6500K with a green-magenta shift by +/- 80, the Forza 500B II is dimmable from 0 to 100% in 0.1% increments so you can achieve the precise intensity needed for your video and photo productions. Blend seamlessly into any ambient light situation, match other fixtures, or allow creative expression. Each light comes with Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz for wireless control, DMX/RDM capability, and four fan modes for speed adjustments or absolute silence. The Forza 500B II offers power options to efficiently run via AC power or on optional V-mount batteries.
Bright Output
With the included 55° reflector, the Forza 500B II outputs up to 67,320 lux at 3.3' (5600K).
Special Effects
The light offers 12 built-in customizable effects that can be saved as presets using the free NANLINK app.
Green-Magenta Adjustment
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
Four fan modes enhance speed control according to your needs. The fan can also be turned off completely when absolute silence is needed.
- Smart, full speed, low speed, and off modes
- 15% maximum output when turned off
Control Unit & Battery Power
Optimized 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.
- Fanless control unit
- Control unit's lock button prevents accidental setting changes
- Includes 19.8' power cable and 9.8' head cable
- A robust quick release clamp is included for mounting the control unit
- The versatile clamp is compatible with round or square stands and trusses
Onboard, DMX & App Control
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.
- From your smartphone via Bluetooth with the free NANLINK app for iOS and Android
- Built-in 2.4 GHz lets you use the separately available WS-RC-C2 handheld remote control or the WS-TB-1 transmitter box for larger setups
- Locking DMX/RDM ports facilitate advanced control and enable the light to be quickly adopted into any DMX-controlled environment
Multiple Mounting Possibilities
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.
