Nanlite introduces the first RGBW LED of its FC line, the versatile, full-color FC500C RGB LED Spotlight. This powerful 500W light delivers improved performance with a Kelvin range of 2700 to 7500K, plus 36,000 vivid colors for a wide range of RGB color options. Like its bi-color version, the FC500C is a compact, stylish AC-powered fixture that can also run on optional V-mount batteries when combined with the separately available FC power controller. With the Nanlite's innovative wing-shaped top housing, the FC500C stands out from other fixtures. It's worth mentioning that this is Nanlite's brightest RGBW light. Delivering an impressive light output, it ensures faithful color reproduction with a CRI of 95 and a TLCI of 94 and provides advanced features with intuitive onboard and remote control.
Advanced Features
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 FC500C's light head is conveniently separated from the included power supply, so each can be as lightweight as possible.
Bright Light Output
At 5600K, this light outputs an incredible 57,050 lux at 3.3' with the included reflector. Adjustable from 0 to 100% in 0.1% increments, it allows users to easily fine-tune the dimming to achieve the precise intensity needed for video and photo productions.
RGBW Capability
Other benefits are green-to-magenta shift by +/- 150, 151 gel presets, HSI mode, and an RGBW mode that allows individual control of red, green, blue, and white colors.
Faithful Color Reproduction
CRI of 95, TLCI of 94, SSI of 84 (3200K), and SSI of 71 (5600K) are indicators of advanced color rendering. Other scores are TM-30 (Rf) of 92 and TM-30 (Rg) of 100. These high numbers ensure optimized skin tones and accurate colors for your images.
Multiple Lighting Effects
With built-in lighting effects, the FC500C makes it easy to imitate lighting scenarios that can otherwise be tricky to recreate. At the touch of a button, you can simulate different practical effects, such as HUE loop, CCT loop, INT loop, flash, pulse, storm, police car, TV, paparazzi, candle/fire, disco, bad bulb, fireworks, explosion, and welding.
Multiple Control Options
For precision control, intuitive local knobs and a 2" screen are available, but the FC500C 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 FC500C to be quickly adopted into any DMX-controlled environment
AC Operation
Thanks to its included 100 to 240 VAC power supply, the FC500C is conveniently ready to work plugged into a standard AC outlet. The power supply also has a safety strap for hanging it on a separately available light stand.
Optional Battery Power
With the separately available FC power controller and optional V-mount batteries, the FC500C is also suitable for reliable work in the field.
Smart Fan Modes
The light offers smart fan modes to suit your sound requirements on-set, avoiding interference with audio recording.
Easy Positioning Yoke
The FC500C ships with a yoke with a one-sided lock that allows 360° rotation for a greater tilting range. A 5/8" receiver accepts industry-standard light stands, and the light's Bowens mount is widely compatible with multiple light modifiers.
Bowens Mount
By utilizing the near-universal Bowens-style light modifier mount and incorporating an umbrella holder, the FC500C is compatible with an extensive selection of light modifiers.
Travel-Ready Case
A hard foam carry case with efficient shock protection is included, so you can safely transport and store your light when not used.
Additional Features
- The light's head measures 15 x 9.7 x 5.8" and weighs 8.6 lb
- Compatible with the optional PJBM projection attachment
- USB port allows firmware updates
