Overview
The Nanlite FC500C RGBW LED Spotlight is a high-output professional COB lighting fixture designed for film production, broadcast, photography, and studio environments where full colour control, strong output, and flexible power options are required.
As the RGBW version of the FC500 series, the FC500C delivers full-spectrum colour control with 36,000 vivid colours, along with a wide 2700K to 7500K colour temperature range, allowing both accurate white light and highly creative lighting design from a single fixture.
The light produces an output of approximately 57,050 lux at 3.3ft (5600K with reflector), making it suitable as a powerful key light for medium to large production setups where high intensity and colour flexibility are both required.
Colour accuracy is rated at CRI 95 and TLCI 94, ensuring reliable skin tone reproduction and consistent colour performance across professional workflows.
The FC500C supports multiple control methods, including onboard controls, Bluetooth via the NANLINK app, 2.4GHz wireless control, and DMX/RDM integration for advanced lighting environments. This makes it suitable for both independent creators and large-scale studio systems.
The fixture is designed with a separated power supply unit, reducing weight at the light head and improving rigging flexibility for overhead or complex mounting setups.
It uses Nanlite’s FM-mount system, and includes a Bowens mount adaptor, allowing compatibility with a wide range of professional modifiers including softboxes, Fresnels, projection systems, and reflectors.
Built-in lighting effects provide additional creative control, simulating real-world lighting scenarios such as fire, lightning, TV flicker, paparazzi, and more.
The Nanlite FC500C is designed for professionals who need a high-output RGBW spotlight with true colour flexibility and production-grade control in a compact, studio-ready form factor.
