NANLITE has revealed the newest additions in their range, which includes advancements in native lighting technology. An upgrade to the popular Forza range arrives in the form of the second-generation NANLITE Forza 60 II and NANLITE 60B II.

Alongwith updatesto theNanlite Forza 60W series, the Forza 300/300B II and 500/500B II have also had the treatment, seeing updates across the range.

Following the popularity of the original series, the new interpretations have a compact frame, full compatibility with Bowens mount accessories [the Forza 300/500 have an extra umbrella mount] and benefit from noise levels that have been improved to just 20dbA. The cooling system also operates in 4 modes. SMART, FULL SPEED, LOW SPEED and OFF in order to give the operater control over noise, presumably.

A range of special effects are built in and flexibility has been considered with onboard 2.4G, Bluetooth for connectivity of the NANLINK App. for more complex lighting solutions and effects using lightins in groups, the new Forza lights offer wired DMX/RDM control and offer dual battery operation for a broader variety of shooting scenarios, 14.4V-14.8V batteries can be used simultaneously with all versions being able to sustain single battery power operation for power switching when batteries are low.
