Complete Lighting and Power Kit
The Nanlite Forza 500B II Bi-Color LED Monolight with V-Mount Batteries and Charger Kit provides a full lighting solution for both studio and location use. It includes the Forza 500B II fixture, two V-Mount batteries, and a charger, offering 59 minutes of runtime at 100% brightness.
Adjustable Bi-Color Output
The Forza 500B II offers a wide color temperature range from 2700K to 6500K with a green-magenta adjustment of +/- 80. This allows precise control to match various lighting conditions and achieve consistent results in both video and photography setups.
Flexible Power Options
Operate the light using AC power or V-Mount batteries for mobile setups. The included batteries deliver continuous lighting when outlets are unavailable, while the dual charger ensures efficient recharging between shoots.
Reliable and Quiet Cooling
Four fan modes—smart, full speed, low speed, and off—provide flexible cooling management. The fanless control unit and lock button help prevent setting changes and maintain stable operation during production.
Multiple Control Methods
Control the Forza 500B II locally using the OLED display or remotely via Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless, or DMX/RDM systems. The NANLINK app enables quick adjustments and preset storage for convenient workflow management.
Durable and Versatile Mounting
The curved yoke design allows 360-degree rotation and compatibility with both baby and junior pin mounts. The Bowens mount works with a wide range of modifiers, while the included clamp and cables simplify setup on different supports.
Long Battery Performance
Each Core Apex 275 V-Mount battery provides 275Wh capacity and 24A maximum load. Two batteries together deliver nearly an hour of runtime at full brightness, making the kit suitable for continuous lighting in field conditions.
Fast Charging
The Core Apex X2 Charger LV quickly charges one or two batteries simultaneously, completing one battery in about 3.5 hours or two in approximately 7 hours. It supports a wide range of V-Mount batteries from 275Wh to 360Wh.
