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.

The light offers 12 built-in customizable 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.

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.
