Overview

Overview

The NanLite Forza 500 LED Monolight features remarkable light output relative to its small size. Weighing just 5.7 lb (2.58 kg), the Forza 500 employs a COB LED module with 75290 Lux output of 5600K daylight-balanced light at 1 meter (with reflector; 19510 Lux without reflector), while maintaining a high CRI/TLCI of 98/95 to ensure accurate color rendition. When equipped with its optional fresnel modifier (sold separately), the light output climbs to a staggering 217,649 Lux at 1 meter (10° spot). With dimming from 100% down to 1% you can quickly adapt the Forza 500 to any scene without adding ND filters or diffusion.

Bowens Style Light Modifier Mount

By utilizing the near-universal Bowens style light modifier mount, the Forza 500 is compatible with a massive selection of light modifiers. Including, but not limited to NanLite's line of optional softboxes and umbrellas.

Practical Effects

With pre-programmed special effects accessible via an intuitive menu system, the Forza makes it easy to imitate lighting scenarios that can otherwise be tricky to recreate. At the touch of a button, you can simulate the lighting effects of lightning, a TV screen, flash, or a flickering light bulb.

Satellite Control & Power Station

To keep a low center of gravity and the controls easily accessible, the Forza 500's control panel, AC adapter, and battery plate have been combined into one satellite unit that easily hangs from any light stand. The satellite also serves as the DMX connection point, enabling the Forza 500 to adapt quickly to any DMX-controlled environment.

Power Anywhere

Perfect for use in the studio or on location, the Forza 500 can run off either the included AC adapter or (2) 26W V-Mount batteries (not included) so you can operate in any location regardless of power availability.

Studio & Location Ready

Supplied with a standard 5/8" receiver mount, the Forza 500 can be mounted directly on any standard light stand, and the 330° rotating yoke makes it easy to adjust angle or hang the light from a ceiling for studio use. Thanks to the Forza 500's active, silent fan, it is at home in even the most sound-sensitive environments.
