The Nanlite Forza 300B II Bi-Colour LED Monolight excels at being as compact and lightweight as possible—yet capable of delivering a truly impressive amount of output (68060 Lux, 6323 fc at 1 meter, 5600K with included reflector). It was built for professional production with a versatile CCT range of 2700K–6500K, durable construction, control options for Bluetooth, 2.4G, and DMX/RDM, a protected, frosted-glass covered COB, and a fully redesigned yoke and Control Unit with the ability to efficiently run on AC or side-mounted V-Mount batteries (sold separately). You can have complete confidence in its performance as the 300B II has a highly accurate CRI average of 96 and a TLCI of 97. It's also the world's first 300-watt bi-color spotlight with the ability to adjust the green-to-magenta shift by +/- 80, which is made possible by its WW(RG) LED source and light-mixing chamber.
This is the second-generation of this fixture and it features improvements across the board, such as an 11% increase in brightness, a Control Unit that's 37% smaller, fanless, and can run on a single V-Mount battery, and it gets 30% more battery life (batteries sold separately). The included cables are substantially longer: 19.8 feet (6 m) for the power cable, 9.8 feet (3 m) for the head cable, and considerably longer head cables are available separately. Forza 300B II is compatible with a vast number of Bowens Mount light modifiers, including Nanlite's own offerings. A useful 55° reflector is included, and there are numerous other modifiers available, such as the FL-20G Fresnel with metal barn doors (sold separately), which increases the output to 151000 Lux, 14028.3 fc at 1 meter.
The upgraded yoke allows 360° rotation and is curved to provide a greater tilting range with large modifiers. It features a stepless, one-sided lock for easy positioning, and an umbrella mount for more light-shaping options. The fan in the head is 9 dBA quieter than the previous model and has 4 modes: Smart, Full Speed, Low Speed, and Off for absolute silence. A redesigned padded carrying case with improved cushioning safely holds everything. A USB port allows firmware updates which will add new features in the future, and it can supply power to wireless DMX receivers (sold separately) or other devices.
