Overview
The Nanlite Forza 500 II Daylight LED Spotlight is a high-output professional COB lighting fixture designed for film production, broadcast, photography, and studio environments where powerful, consistent daylight-balanced illumination is required.
As part of the second-generation Forza series, the Forza 500 II delivers significantly improved output efficiency, refined thermal management, and enhanced control features while maintaining a compact and portable design suitable for demanding production workflows.
The fixture produces approximately 92,310 lux at 1 metre (5600K with included reflector), making it a powerful key light for large sets, studio environments, and location-based productions requiring high-intensity output.
It features a fixed daylight colour temperature of 5600K, designed for accurate and consistent colour reproduction in professional lighting setups. The unit also includes green–magenta adjustment (±80), allowing precise colour matching when working with mixed lighting environments or balancing multiple fixtures.
Colour accuracy is rated at CRI 96 and TLCI 97, ensuring reliable skin tone reproduction and consistent colour performance for film and broadcast applications.
The Forza 500 II supports multiple control methods including onboard controls, Bluetooth via the NANLINK app, 2.4GHz wireless control, and DMX/RDM integration, making it suitable for both standalone and fully integrated studio systems.
The fixture uses a separate control unit system, allowing flexible rigging and reducing weight on the light head for overhead mounting, boom setups, and complex production environments.
It is compatible with Nanlite’s FM-mount system, and includes a Bowens mount adaptor, enabling use with a wide range of professional modifiers such as softboxes, Fresnels, projection attachments, 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 Forza 500 II is designed for professionals who require high output, colour consistency, and reliable performance in a compact, production-ready LED COB fixture.
