Nanlite Forza 60 LED Monolight

Nanlite Forza 60 LED Monolight: Compact Powerhouse for Professional Lighting

The Nanlite Forza 60 LED Monolight is a remarkable lighting solution that strikes the perfect balance between compact size and powerful illumination. Designed for photographers, videographers, and content creators who need a portable yet highly functional light source, the Forza 60 delivers outstanding performance while fitting comfortably into tight spaces. This monolight offers exceptional color accuracy, versatile power options, and convenient control features that elevate any lighting setup.

Compact Design with Impressive Output

Despite being small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, the Nanlite Forza 60 produces an impressive luminous intensity of approximately 14,350 lux at 1 meter with a daylight-balanced color temperature of 5600K. Its compact dimensions of 7.6 x 4.1 x 3.2 inches and weight around 1.5 lbs make it highly portable—ideal for on-location shoots or studio work where space is limited.

The included 55-degree reflector finely controls the beam spread, focusing light for even coverage and enhanced output efficiency. This makes the Forza 60 suitable as a key light, fill light, or in creative multi-light setups.

Precision Color Accuracy for Professional Use

Nanlite has engineered the Forza 60 to maintain superb color fidelity. The light features a high Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 96 and Television Lighting Consistency Index (TLCI) of 98, ensuring natural and vibrant color reproduction on camera. These metrics minimize post-production color correction, saving valuable time and maintaining the integrity of the original scene.

Flexible Dimming and Lighting Modes

The monolight’s brightness ranges smoothly from 0 to 100%, allowing users to tailor illumination precisely for any scenario or mood. In addition, it offers multiple lighting effects, including TV bulb flickering, storm, candlelight, welding, and others, providing filmmakers and video producers with creative lighting options beyond traditional continuous light.

Versatile Power Solutions

One of the standout features of the Nanlite Forza 60 is its compatibility with both AC mains power and portable battery options. Users can operate the light using the included AC adapter or with optional NP-F or V-Mount batteries (sold separately), enabling long-duration shooting in studios or complete freedom when filming outdoors without power access.

Intuitive Control and Connectivity

The Forza 60 supports multiple control interfaces to fit into various professional workflows. Users can adjust settings locally on the fixture, via Bluetooth through the Nanlink app (for iOS and Android), or using a dedicated 2.4 GHz remote control or transmitter box for more complex setups.

For integration into sophisticated lighting rigs, it also supports DMX/RDM control protocols, facilitating synchronized control alongside other lighting units.

Efficient Cooling and Quiet Operation

A thoughtfully designed cooling fan system ensures the Forza 60 maintains optimal operating temperatures while producing minimal noise. This feature makes it suitable for sound-sensitive environments such as interviews, broadcasts, and film sets. Users can adjust fan speed settings, or turn off the fan entirely for absolute silence when needed.

Comprehensive Accessory Compatibility

The included Bowens mount adapter provides compatibility with a wide range of light modifiers such as softboxes, umbrellas, and Fresnel lenses. This accessory ecosystem expands creative possibilities, allowing users to shape and control the light beam precisely to fit any shooting style or environment.
