[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM38vAyZ_7w[/embed] [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibTKIYCS028[/embed]   Taking the high output and compact form factor of the Forza 300 and 300B, Nanlite has improved the second-generation Forza 300B II Bi-Color LED Light with key refinements across the board. With color temperature adjustable from 2700 to 6500K and +/- 80 green-magenta adjustment, this monolight takes quality to the next level for video and photo productions. It blends seamlessly into any ambient light situation, matches other fixtures, or enables creative expression. The light features a 55-degree reflector, Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless control, DMX/RDM capability, and four fan modes for adjusting speed or achieving complete silence. It also includes a redesigned control unit that runs efficiently on mains power or optional V-mount batteries. The Forza 300B II features an upgraded curved yoke that allows 360 degrees of rotation for a greater tilt range when used with optional large modifiers. The 5/8" receiver accepts industry-standard light stands, and the light's Bowens mount is widely compatible with a variety of light modifiers. Thanks to its 110-240 VAC power supply the light can be used worldwide, and it can also run on one or two optional side-mounted 14.8V V-mount batteries in situations where AC power is unavailable. A padded carry bag is included for protection during storage and transport. Impressive Brightness: With the included 55-degree reflector, the Forza 300B II delivers up to 68,060 lux at 3.3' (5600K). Equipped with the separately available FL-20G Fresnel attachment, light output climbs to an impressive 151,000 lux. Accurate Colors and Special Effects: The Forza 300B II boasts a CRI of 96 and a TLCI of 97, meaning you can shoot with confidence knowing color rendition will be accurate. Beyond color accuracy, the light offers 12 built-in customizable effects that can be saved as presets with the free NANLINK app. Green-Magenta Adjustment: In shooting situations where you need to match other light sources or achieve a specific look, adjusting green-magenta shift for color correction can be extremely useful. With this feature on the Forza 300B II you can adjust the color by +/- 80 to reach your goal. The Forza 300B II is the first 300W monolight with this capability, made possible by its WW(RG) LED source. Four Fan Modes: The light offers four fan modes for enhanced speed control to suit your needs. The light head's fan is 9 dBA quieter than the previous generation and can be turned off when absolute silence is required.

• Smart, full speed, low speed, and off modes
• 15% maximum output in off mode

Control Unit and Battery Power: Optimized for studio or location use, the Forza 300B II features easily accessible battery plates on the sides of the included control unit, accommodating up to two V-mount batteries. The Forza 300B II can run on mains power or on one or two 14.8V V-mount batteries, so it can operate in any location regardless of power availability.

• 100% brightness with two separately available 14.8V V-mount batteries.
• 45% brightness using just one separately available 14.8V V-mount battery
• The fanless control unit provides 30% longer battery runtime

• Includes a longer 19.8' power cable and a 9.8' head cable
• A rugged quick-release clamp is included for mounting the control unit
• The versatile clamp is compatible with round or square stands and stand crossbars

Onboard, DMX, and App Control: The Forza 300B II's control unit features a convenient OLED display with onboard buttons and dials for precise and easy local control, but the light can also be controlled remotely.

• Take full control of the light from your smartphone via Bluetooth using the free NANLINK app for iOS and Android.
• The built-in 2.4 GHz frequency allows the use of the separately available WS-RC-C2 handheld remote or the WS-TB-1 transmitter box for larger setups.
• Locking DMX/RDM ports facilitate advanced control and let you quickly integrate the Forza 300B II into any DMX-controlled environment.

Multiple Mounting Options: The light's upgraded curved rotating yoke features single-sided mounting with a forward pivot point and allows 360 degrees of rotation to provide a greater tilt range with optional large modifiers. It also includes a built-in umbrella holder to expand your light-shaping options. In addition, thanks to its Bowens mount, the Forza 300B II is compatible with a wide range of modifiers. Compact, Powerful, and Professional: Compact yet powerful, the Forza 300B II has a rectangular shape, so it can be stacked during setup, teardown, or storage. Its head measures 12.9 x 8.9 x 4.8" and weighs 6.3 lb. The light's control unit is now 37% smaller, measuring just 9.1 x 6.1 x 5.4". The combined weight of the head and control unit is 12.4 lb.
