Nanlite Forza 500 II Overview
Adopting the same powerful output and compact form of the original Forza 500, Nanlite has introduced the Forza 500 II Daylight LED Monolight Travel 2-Light Kit. This kit includes two Forza 500 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 a daylight-balanced color temperature of 5600K with a green-magenta shift by +/- 80, the Forza 500 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. 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 500 II offers power options to efficiently run via AC power or on optional V-mount batteries.
Bright Output

Special Effects
