• Multiple Colour Modes: HSI Mode, RGBW Mode, XY Mode.
• Choice of Control Methods: On-board, 2.4G, Bluetooth, NANLINK APP, DMX/RDM.

Nanlite are pleased to announce the new Forza 60C RGBLAC as the latest addition to the highly popular Forza series. The Forza 60C innovatively adopts the RGBLAC six-colour mixing technology, integrating additional LED beads of Lime/Amber/Cyan into the traditional RGB light source to fundamentally solve the problem of incomplete colour spectrum of light, whilst also achieving the near-daylight spectrum.

The saturation strengthens significantly for colours other than RGB in HSI mode, which means that Forza 60C offers cutting edge colour rendition over other RGB/RGBW/RGBWW LED lights, offering a full spectrum, wider colour gamut, more accurate colour reproduction and more subtle light/colour quality.

The application of the RGBLAC system has been achieved by overcoming multiple technical difficulties. The 60C optimises the distribution of the light source and structure design, to avoid uneven illumination in use. The power of each LED bead is scientifically calibrated to ensure that the light has a 60W power draw for all colours, and the illuminance discrepancy between different colours become a thing of the past.

Thanks to natural advantages of concentrating light in spot and spreading light evenly in the space, Forza 60C can bring unprecedented flexibility in lighting control, making it ideal for film and video production, music video production, high-end commercial portrait production and Live stream where they all require accurate CCT/HUE/GM adjustment control.
