Nanlite Forza 500 II Daylight LED Monolight (Travel 2-Light Kit)

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.

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.
