Taking the strengths from the first-generation Forza such as interaction, control and noise management, to deliver a second generation, taking these ultra-compact LED spotlights to the next level.

NANLITE announce the latest in their lighting technology, with an upgrade to the hugely popular Forza range with the second generation NANLITE Forza 60 II and 60B II. It’s not only the 60W range that has received the upgrades as the innovation and modification has also been made to the Forza 300/300B II and 500/500B II.

Building on the strengths of the first generation, all these latest versions feature the ultracompact body, full compatibility with the Bowens mount accessories (the Forza 300/500 have an extra umbrella mount) and benefit from noise levels that have been improved to just 20dbA; the cooling system operates in 4 modes. SMART, FULL SPEED, LOW SPEED and OFF.

The creativity is unlimited when you consider the addition of special effects and flexibility is assured through onboard 2.4G, Bluetooth and use of the NANLINK App. Those demanding more complicated lighting control in groups can achieve this via wired DMX / RDM.

When it comes to power supplies, these four models can handle a variety of shooting scenarios effortlessly with dual batteries. (14.4V-14.8V batteries can be used simultaneously) All units also support single battery power operation for fast power switching when in low battery. This innovation enables hot plugging as well as hot swapping between AC/DC for Forza 300/300B II & 500/500B II, allowing interruption free operation.
