Overview
The Nanlite Forza 500B II Bi-Colour LED Spotlight is a high-output professional COB lighting fixture designed for film production, broadcast, photography, and studio environments where powerful illumination, precise colour control, and flexible power options are required.
As part of the second-generation Forza series, the 500B II delivers improved efficiency, refined control, and enhanced usability while maintaining a compact form factor suitable for both studio and location-based production workflows.
The fixture produces approximately 62,610 lux at 1 metre (5600K with reflector), making it a powerful key light for large-scale studio setups and demanding on-location shoots.
It features a bi-colour range from 2700K to 6500K, allowing smooth adjustment between tungsten and daylight-balanced lighting without gels, making it highly adaptable for mixed lighting environments or matching ambient sources.
Colour accuracy is rated at CRI 96 and TLCI 97, ensuring reliable skin tone reproduction and consistent colour performance across professional film and broadcast workflows.
A key feature of the 500B II system is green–magenta adjustment (±80), allowing precise colour tuning when matching multiple light sources or correcting environmental colour shifts.
The Forza 500B 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 for compatibility with a wide range of professional modifiers such as softboxes, Fresnels, projection attachments, and reflectors.
Built-in lighting effects provide additional creative control, simulating practical lighting scenarios such as fire, lightning, TV flicker, paparazzi, and more.
The Nanlite Forza 500B II is designed for professionals who require high output, colour flexibility, and dependable performance in a compact, production-ready LED COB fixture.
