Nanlite Forza 60B II Bi-Color LED Monolight

Compact, Powerful, and Versatile Lighting Solution

The Nanlite Forza 60B II Bi-Color LED Monolight builds on its acclaimed predecessors to offer a compact yet professional light designed for photographers, videographers, and content creators. With enhanced performance and impressive flexibility in a small form factor, this monolight is perfect for studio setups, on-location shoots, and tight spaces where portability and output both matter.

Powerful and Adjustable Light Output

At its core, the Forza 60B II features a robust COB LED capable of delivering a luminous output of approximately 14,350 lux at a distance of 3.3 feet (1 meter) when paired with the included 45° mini reflector. This output can increase substantially to nearly 34,700 lux when used with the optional FL-11 Fresnel lens, providing additional light focusing power for demanding scenes.

The monolight offers a fully adjustable color temperature range from 2700K to 6500K, enabling users to replicate natural daylight or warmer indoor lighting with precise control. This bi-color range makes the light adaptable to various shooting environments, allowing seamless mixing with other light sources and creative color temperature adjustments.

Exceptional Color Accuracy and Quality

The Forza 60B II achieves an impressive Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 96 and a Television Lighting Consistency Index (TLCI) of 98, ensuring that colors are rendered naturally and vividly on camera. The Spectral Similarity Index (SSI) ratings of 81 at 3200K and 71 at 5600K confirm the light's consistency and accuracy, enhancing confidence during production and minimizing post-production color correction workflows.

Exceptional Control and Connectivity

This monolight is designed for ultimate control flexibility. The intuitive onboard interface features a 1.3-inch OLED display, a mode button, and dual control knobs that enable easy and precise adjustments locally.

For remote operation, the Forza 60B II supports Bluetooth wireless control via the dedicated NANLINK mobile app, compatible with both iOS and Android devices. It also offers built-in 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity compatible with Nanlite’s WS-RC-C2 handheld remote and WS-TB-1 transmitter box for larger multi-light setups.

Moreover, a locking DMX port enables industry-standard DMX/RDM control, allowing seamless integration into professional lighting rigs with centralized management.

Quiet and Efficient Cooling

The light features an advanced fan cooling system that operates 10 dBA quieter compared to prior models, significantly reducing noise on set. The fan can also be switched off entirely for ultra-quiet situations such as dialogue scenes or live broadcasts.

Extended Power Options

The Forza 60B II comes with an NPF battery grip compatible with NP-F970 batteries, which can run the light for up to 90 minutes at full power. For longer needs, it supports 14.8V V-mount batteries (sold separately) providing up to 120 minutes of runtime with appropriate cable adapters.

This dual power capability ensures consistent and versatile usage across studio and mobile setups, enhancing shooting freedom and minimizing dependency on AC mains electricity.

Compatibility and Accessories

Equipped with a Bowens S-Mount adapter, the Forza 60B II is compatible with a vast array of light modifiers including softboxes, reflectors, Fresnel lenses, and umbrellas. The provided 45° mini reflector offers a balanced beam angle suitable for many general lighting applications, while Nanlite’s ecosystem allows users to shape and tailor light beams for specific artistic and technical needs.

The package also includes a padded carrying bag, making transportation and storage easy and secure.

Practical Features for Daily Use

  • Maximum Output Mode for the brightest possible light at any color temperature.

  • Constant Output Mode maintains consistent brightness across the full color temperature range, preventing on-set brightness fluctuations.

  • A knob lock feature prevents accidental changes to light settings during shooting.

  • USB port for firmware updates and powering wireless DMX receivers.

Ideal Applications

  • Portrait and product photography requiring compact, precise lighting.

  • Video interviews and documentaries.

  • Film and broadcast lighting with DMX integration.

  • Vlogging, streaming, and content creation with app-based portable control.

  • Location shoots needing battery-powered mobility and quiet operation.
