NANLITE Forza 300B Bi-Color LED Monolight Announced

It is not a problem to organize photography lighting in the studio today, whether it be a larger commercial space, or a modest corner fenced off in the bedroom behind a closet – manufacturers produce one photo light after another, and some even in whole sets. The NANLITE is not lagging, which has announced a new LED Monolight for the Forza line – NANLITE Forza 300B.

The new photography lights are adjustable color temperature from 2700K to 6500K and provide a maximum output of 37440 lux/meter at 5600K color temperature. Externally, the NANLITE Forza 300B is very similar to the recently announced Forza 200 (priced at $599 in B&H).

However, as the model name suggests, this studio light has a power of 300 W, while it is lightweight and very compact since the design consists of the lamp itself and an external control unit that is connected to the lamp with a cable. The dimensions of the Monolight are 33x23x12 cm, the weight is 2.3 kg, the dimensions of the control unit are 14x13x43 cm, the weight is 2.7 kg.

Like any modern photography lighting lamp, the Forza 300B allows you to adjust the power from 0 to 100%, the maximum power is 37440 lux/meter with a reflector. The company claims that the lamp produces a light quality of CRI / TLCI 98/97, which promises excellent color rendering. A bonus will be a Bowens S mount for attaching softboxes and other light modifiers.

Such a compact size and weight of the photography lighting can be achieved because the lamp itself does not have any adjustments on the body it is an LED element, a bayonet, and a cooling system. All lamp control is carried out from the control unit, which displays all settings on an LCD screen. There are two knobs for adjustment – power and color temperature, and four buttons for control and navigation through the menu.

The photo light has 12 blinking effects, where can we go without them: flash, pulse, storm, TV, paparazzi, candle, broken lamp, fireworks, explosion, welding, and a couple more with incomprehensible names. But what’s more interesting is the ability to control it using the remote control included in the kit. The unit has a DMX / RDM connection port, so it can be integrated into a professional lighting system, and a USB port is also provided for firmware updates.

The control unit can be powered from the mains or two V-Mount 14.8V batteries. NANLITE claims that with two 130 Wh V-Mount batteries you can get about 50 minutes of full power.
