The Nanlite Forza 300B II BiColor LED Monolight combines 2700K–6500K output with a Bowens mount. Compare its controls, power options and limits.
350W power and output with the included reflector
The Nanlite Forza 300B II BiColor LED Monolight is a bi-color LED light for setups that need adjustable white light rather than a fixed color temperature. It is in stock at Unique Photo for $999. Nanlite lists maximum power at 350W, weight at 6.4 pounds and dimensions of 13 x 9 x 4.84 inches.
Nanlite rates output at 68,060 lux at 1 meter, set to 5600K with the included reflector. Keep those conditions attached to the number. Changing the modifier or moving the light changes the illumination reaching the subject. The accessory Bowens mount accepts Bowens-mount modifiers, making this a practical choice for a lighting kit already built around that mount.
White-light matching and 1% dimming steps
Color temperature runs from 2700K to 6500K. That provides room to move between warmer and cooler white light without keeping the fixture at one fixed setting. Pressing the left knob cycles through common settings: 2700K, 3200K, 4300K, 5600K and 6500K.
Nanlite also lists green-to-magenta adjustment from -80 to +80. This addresses a different problem from color temperature: a light can be warm or cool enough and still look too green or magenta beside another source. The adjustment gives the operator a way to correct that mismatch.
Dimming runs from 0–100% in 1% increments. Max Output and Constant Output modes provide a choice between prioritizing peak output and output consistency. Nanlite rates average CRI at 96 and TLCI at 97; these are color-rendering ratings, not brightness measurements.
AC power, V-mount batteries and the fan-off limit
The Forza 300B II can run on AC power or side-mounted V-mount batteries. Battery configurations are two 14.8V V-mount batteries or one 26V V-mount battery, sold separately. That makes battery operation an option for locations away from an outlet, but batteries need to be part of the equipment budget.
The power cable and head cable total 29.6 feet. That is their combined length, not the length of either individual cable. The extra reach provides flexibility in placing the light and control unit while routing power around a set.
Four fan modes are available: Smart, Full Speed, Low Speed and Off. Switching the fan off limits maximum output to 15%. This is an important trade-off for dialogue recording. Fan-off operation and full output are not available together, so plan the light placement and exposure around that restriction if the fan must remain off.
App control, DMX/RDM and locked settings
The NANLINK app supports iOS and Android, and the light offers Bluetooth control. Built-in 2.4G supports separately sold remote-control accessories. DMX/RDM control is also available, but requires a separately sold adapter cable. For a set already using DMX, that cable belongs on the equipment list rather than being treated as an included connection.
A dedicated Lock button helps prevent accidental settings changes. That is useful once brightness and color have been established and people are working around the control unit. The fixture also includes 12 effects, giving it an additional role beyond steady white-light operation.
Who it suits, and when to choose something else
Interview crews working around existing room lighting have a clear use for the adjustable CCT and green-magenta correction. For product photography using continuous light, the 1% dimming steps provide a repeatable way to adjust brightness while arranging a shot. Bowens compatibility is particularly relevant for photographers who already own modifiers using that mount.
Productions that require more than 15% output with the fan switched off should look elsewhere. Battery operation also means accommodating the specified V-mount configuration, rather than treating this as a self-contained battery light. For a simple fixed-color setup, the broad adjustment range and remote-control options may be more capability than the job requires.
Stand ballast and cable-management add-ons
The Kupo Sand Bag (Max. Load 35lbs / 16kg) is in stock at $42.95. It ships empty, and 35 pounds is its fill capacity, not its supplied weight. Its saddlebag shape drapes over stand legs or boom arms to add ballast. An internal plastic liner and double-Velcro closure help contain the fill material. Adding ballast helps resist tipping; it does not replace careful stand placement.
Professional Gaffers Tape - 2 x 60 Yards (Black) is in stock at $19.95. The roll is 2 inches wide and 60 yards long, with a non-reflective matte finish and hand-tearable construction. It is a practical cable-management accessory for a light with separate power and head cables, helping keep routed cables in place.
Cleaning accessories for the camera kit
The Giottos Rocket Blaster Cleaning Kit is in stock at $36.95. Its blower removes loose dust from cameras and optics using air. The base lets it stand upright, and the nozzle is detachable. This is general camera-kit maintenance equipment, not a light-shaping accessory.
The Zeiss Microfiber Cleaning Cloth is in stock at $8. It is intended for coated optical surfaces, including camera lenses and filters, and helps remove fingerprints and smudges. The blower addresses loose particles; the cloth addresses marks that air alone will not remove.
