Nanlite Forza 300B II Overview
The Nanlite Forza 300B II Bi-Color LED Monolight builds on the success of the original 300 and 300B models. It delivers powerful output in a compact body, while adding refinements that improve performance across the board. With an adjustable color temperature from 2700K to 6500K and a green-magenta shift of ±80, this light adapts easily to any scene. You can match ambient light, blend with other fixtures, or create dramatic effects for both photo and video productions.
The package includes a 55° reflector, Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz for wireless control, DMX/RDM capability, and four fan modes. You can choose absolute silence for audio-critical shoots or higher speeds for maximum cooling. The redesigned control unit works efficiently with either AC power or optional V-mount batteries.
Bright Output
With the included 55° reflector, the Forza 300B II outputs up to 68,060 lux at 3.3′ (5600K). When equipped with the separately available FL-20G Fresnel with barndoors the light’s output climbs to an impressive 151,000 lux.
Accurate Color & Special Effects
The Forza 300B II features a CRI of 96 and a TLCI of 97, meaning you can shoot with confidence knowing the color reproduction will be precise. Besides color accuracy, the light offers 12 built-in customizable effects that can be saved as presets using the free NANLINK app.
Green-Magenta Adjustment
In shooting situations where you need to match other light sources or achieve a specific look, it can be extremely helpful to adjust the green-to-magenta shift for color correction. With this Forza 300B II’s feature you can tweak the color by +/- 80 to get there. The Forza 300B II is the first 300W spotlight with this ability, which is possible by its WW(RG) LED source.
Four Fan Modes
The light offers four fan modes to enhance speed control according to your needs. The light head’s fan is 9 dBA quieter than the previous generation and can be turned off when absolute silence is needed.
- Smart, Full Speed, Low Speed & Off modes
- 15% maximum output when turned off
Control Unit & Battery Power
The control unit has side-mounted battery plates for up to two V-mount batteries. With AC power or two 14.8V batteries, you get 100% brightness. One battery delivers 45% brightness for lighter setups. The fanless control unit extends battery life by 30%, while a lock button prevents accidental setting changes. Longer cables and a quick-release clamp make mounting and positioning easier.
Onboard, DMX & App Control
The Forza 300B II’s control unit features a convenient OLED display and onboard buttons and knobs for precise and easy local control, but the light can also be controlled remotely.
- You can fully control the light from your smartphone via Bluetooth with the free NANLINK app for iOS and Android
- Built-in 2.4 GHz lets you use the separately available WS-RC-C2 handheld remote control or the WS-TB-1 transmitter box for larger setups
- Locking DMX/RDM ports facilitate advanced control and enables the Forza 300B II to be quickly adopted into any DMX controlled environment
Multiple Mounting Possibilities
The light’s upgraded curved rotating yoke has a one-sided lock, forward articulation, and allows 360° rotation to provide a greater tilting range with optional large modifiers. It also features an incorporated umbrella holder to expand your light-shaping options. Additionally, the light’s Bowens mount capability makes the Forza 300B II compatible with a wide range of modifiers.
Compact, Powerful & Professional
Compact yet powerful, the Forza 300B II has a rectangular shape that can be stacked when setting up, breaking down, or storing. Its head measures 12.9 x 8.9 x 4.8″ and weighs 6.3 lb. The light’s control unit is now 37% smaller with dimensions of just 9.1 x 6.1 x 5.4″. The light’s head and the control unit combined have a total weight of 12.4 lb.
