Nanlite FC500 Overview
Designed to give you full flexibility of a bi-color output, the FC500B Bi-Color LED Spotlight from Nanlite is a compact, stylish AC-powered fixture suitable to light up most scenarios with a Kelvin range of 2700 to 6500K. With an innovative wing-shaped top housing, the FC500B stands out from other Nanlite fixtures. Delivering impressive brightness, it ensures faithful color reproduction with a CRI of 96 and a TLCI of 98 and provides advanced features with intuitive onboard and remote control.
This highly versatile light comes with Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz for wireless connection, DMX/RDM capability, and smart fan modes for complete control over sound. The FC500B's light head is conveniently separated from the included power supply, so each can be as lightweight as possible. A reflector and a robust carry case are also supplied for extended output and portability.
Bi-Color Output with Advanced Features
Advanced features include maximum output mode to supply full output power and constant output mode to maintain constant intensity across the CCT range. Adjustable from 0 to 100% in 0.1% increments, users can easily fine-tune the dimming to achieve the precise intensity needed for video and photo productions. At 5600K, this light outputs an incredible 65,640 lux at 3.3' with the included reflector.
Multiple Control Options
For precision control, intuitive local knobs and a 2" screen are available, but the FC500B can also be controlled remotely using your smartphone.
- You can fully control the light from your smartphone via Bluetooth with the NANLINK app
- The fixture can also be remotely controlled on a 2.4 GHz connection using the separately available WS-TB-1 transmitter or WS-RC-C2 remote control
- Locking metal 3.5mm DMX/RDM port facilitates advanced control and enables the FC500B to be quickly adopted into any DMX-controlled environment

AC Operation
The FC500B is conveniently ready to work plugged into a standard AC outlet thanks to its included 110 to 240 VAC power supply. The FC500B's power supply has a safety strap to hang it on a separately available light stand.
