Nanlite Forza 720 and 720B are making their debut

Mar 31, 2022

The accumulated efforts over the past three years eventually bear fruit in Nanlite’s spotlight ecosystem. This time Forza 720 and Forza 720B are launched at the same time to take you by double surprises. With their addition, Forza family have been taken to new heights in terms of providing industry standard lighting for professional production.

Forza 720 and 720B are the brightest NANLITE spotlights ever. They both offer luminance in a remarkable level, with Forza 720B also incorporating Bi-colour feature on top. It features an expanded bi-colour range of 2700K-6500K while still being able to maintain a highly efficient light output.

With high colour rendition scores of CRI 95/TLCI 96 for Forza 720 and CRI average 96/TLCI average 97 for Forza 720B, the two newborns can reproduce colour very accurately to bring out the true colours in your image. They definitely can be of great help in creating a powerful visual effect that is pleasing to the eye.

Two output modes have been built in the system of Forza 720B. Output will always be maximized for the selected CCT to unleash the upmost power of the fixture in Maximum Output mode, while in Constant Output mode the luminance level remains uniform when adjusting the CCT. Workflow efficiency on set can be greatly improved by accomplishing CCT adjustment under stable light ratio.

Forza 720 and 720B come with a standard Bowens mount, making them compatible with NANLITE’s comprehensive line of light modifiers and products from third party manufacturers. The advanced yoke also features an umbrella mount for more light-shaping options.

Further evolved from the sturdy form factor design on old Forzas, Forza 720 & 720B provide overall protection for both the lamp head and the control box through a rugged metal framework. Aiming at creating a stable and reliable working environment, a protruded antenna booster has been integrated into the control box to make Bluetooth/2.4G more reliable. Quick release clamp can fix the control unit tight on the light stand and support quick-release mechanism.

What’s more, Forza 720 & 720B are ideal choices for outdoor and mobile shooting with their dual power supply solution of both AC&DC and more sophisticated power management system. They can perform outstandingly well for outputting power when running off battery.

The ultra-quiet cooling system of Forza 720 & 720B optimized for audio collection on set can limit fan noise at a controllable level at full power. Users can just fully focus on creating desired lighting effects hassle-free, or choose to turn off the fan via on-board control/NANLINK APP to accomplish zero decibel level for special productions that require absolute silence.

As to control and communication, Forza 720/720B feature continuous dimming from 0-100% in 0.1 increments, ensuring smoothness in light control. Stable connection with NANLINK APP is a sure thing with dual built-in modules of 2.4G and Bluetooth. DMX/RDM functionality can also offer digital solutions for audiovisual production.

NANLITE Managing Director Nancy Zheng has high expectation for these two brothers, she mentions that, “Really glad and excited to see that the Forza lineup grow bigger and much more powerful, we also hope the same for NANLITE family, with more and more users choosing Forzas for their production.”
