Nanlite Forza 60B Bi-Color LED Monolight Kit
Compact, Versatile Professional Lighting
The Nanlite Forza 60B Bi-Color LED Monolight Kit is a compact yet powerful lighting solution tailor-made for photographers, videographers, content creators, and professionals on the go. This kit not only offers a wide adjustable color temperature range but also boasts excellent color accuracy, wireless connectivity, and flexible power options, making it one of the most versatile lights in its category.
Powerful and Adjustable Output
At the heart of the Forza 60B is a high-quality COB LED that delivers a luminous output of 14,350 lux at a distance of 1 meter when combined with the 55-degree reflector. For even greater control over your lighting setup, the optional FL-11 Fresnel lens boosts the output dramatically to about 34,700 lux at the same distance, focusing the light more precisely for cinematic effects.
The color temperature is fully adjustable from a warm 2700K to a daylight 6500K, allowing seamless blending with ambient lighting or other lights on set. Whether it’s warm tungsten-style lighting or cool daylight scenes, the Forza 60B provides the flexibility needed for creative and natural-looking scenes.
Accurate Color Reproduction
The light offers impressive color accuracy, rated with a CRI of 96 and TLCI of 98, meaning it renders colors faithfully and naturally. For those producing high-quality video and photography, accurate color rendering is essential to preserve skin tones, product colors, and overall image integrity without extensive post-production correction.
The Spectral Similarity Index (SSI) values of 81 at 3200K and 71 at 5600K further confirm this light’s ability to deliver consistent and reliable color reproduction across the spectrum.
Smart Controls & Connectivity
The Forza 60B features an intuitive control interface consisting of a crisp 1.3-inch OLED display and responsive control knobs that provide smooth, precise adjustments for brightness and color temperature. Adjusting the light is straightforward whether on set or in more controlled environments.
For remote control, the included 2.4 GHz wireless system and Bluetooth connectivity enable operation via Nanlite’s NANLINK app—a comprehensive control solution for iOS and Android devices offering advanced settings, presets, groups, and special effects.
Additionally, DMX/RDM compatibility allows integration into sophisticated lighting setups for synchronized control within larger productions.
Enhanced Battery and Power Options
Portability is enhanced by the inclusion of an NP-F battery grip supporting NP-F970 batteries, enabling about 90 minutes of continuous operation at full brightness. For longer shooting sessions, the Forza 60B also supports 14.8V V-mount batteries (with optional accessories) which can deliver up to 120 minutes of runtime depending on battery capacity.
This flexibility means whether working in a studio with AC power or on location without power, this monolight adapts effortlessly.
Noise-Reduced Cooling System
The light uses an advanced quiet fan cooling system, which runs 10 dBA quieter than previous models, ensuring near-silent operation on sensitive shoots such as interviews or controlled sound recordings. The fan can even be switched off for absolute silence when needed.
Accessory Compatibility
The fixture is equipped with a Bowens S-mount adapter, one of the most popular light-mounting systems, compatible with an extensive range of softboxes, umbrellas, Fresnel lenses, snoots, and other modifiers. This allows creative professionals to sculpt, diffuse, or focus the light precisely according to their needs.
The kit comes complete with a micro reflector, AC adapter, COB cap, battery grip, Bowens S-mount adapter, carrying bag, and necessary cables, making it a ready-to-go solution for portable lighting.
Practical Lighting Effects
Beyond continuous light, the Forza 60B features 12 built-in practical lighting effects, including CCT Loop, INT Loop, Flash, Pulse, Storm, TV flicker, Candle/Fire, Bad Bulb, Fireworks, Explosion, and Welding. These effects can be saved as presets in the Nanlink app, helping professionals simulate real-world lighting conditions quickly and creatively.
Compact Size and Lightweight Build
The ultra-compact body measures just 7.6 x 4.1 x 3.2 inches and weighs approximately 1.8 lbs, making it one of the most portable professional lighting units available. Despite its small size, it delivers powerful output and reliable performance in a tough, durable casing suitable for rugged use.
