Nanlite Forza 300B II Bicolor LED Spot Light

Nanlite Forza 300B II Bicolor LED Spot Light – Compact high-output bi-color spotlight with G/M ±80 tunability

The Nanlite Forza 300B II brings targeted improvements to the Forza 300/300B line. It retains the compact, high-output design while adding refinements to color control, power options, cooling, and control interfaces. The unit suits commercial production teams, film crews, portrait photographers and content creators who need versatile, professional lighting.

Match any light source with precise color control

The Forza 300B II uses advanced W(RG)/WW(RG) color mixing. It introduces G/M ±80 tunability in the daylight/bi-color spotlight family, enabling you to shift green or magenta to match ambient light or other fixtures. This lets you blend sources, optimize skin tones, or recreate stylized film looks by skewing white-light toward magenta or green.

Nanlite also improved the color rendering performance across the line, making the Forza 300/300B II reliable tools for accurate, true-to-life color reproduction on set.

Compact powerhouses with protective design

The Forza 300B II retains Forza DNA: consistent output quality in a compact form. Engineers added a protective, glass-covered light source to prevent external intrusion. At the same time, meaningful gains in power consumption and light efficiency deliver brighter output and longer battery run-times compared to prior models.

Reimagined control unit and mounting features

Nanlite redesigned the control unit to integrate the power adapter inside, reducing the overall size of the Forza 300II/300B by 37%. V-mount battery plates sit on both sides of the control unit to increase compatibility with batteries in different sizes.

The yoke uses a one-sided, stepless locking mechanism for smooth adjustments and better handling. Curved yokes allow a larger tilting range when modifiers and accessories are attached. The control unit also integrates a quick-release device on the back and the package includes a quick release clamp to improve adaptability and sturdiness when mounting on stands or trusses.

Control methods for diverse workflows

The user interface offers intuitive, logical operation. Forza 300B II supports both comprehensive wired and wireless control solutions to fit studio, location and live-streaming needs.

• Wireless: built-in 2.4G and Bluetooth dual modules for NANLINK control in studio shooting and live streaming.
• USB power: the USB port supplies 5V/0.5A to power a wireless DMX receiver for wireless DMX setups.
• Wired: support for DMX/RDM control via cable for precise, stable group control in film crews.

Flexible power and uninterrupted operation

The Forza 300B II supports AC power and multiple battery configurations. All units allow AC/DC hot swapping so you do not need to power down lights during transitions. The fixtures also support single-battery operation and hot switching when Intensity is less than 45%, enabling quick battery swaps during continuous filming.

Battery operation specifics for the Forza 300II/300B II:

• 1 x 14.8V 12A battery: output can be up to 45%.
• 2 x 14.8V 12A batteries: output can be up to 100%.

Adaptive cooling and lower noise

The series includes an adjustable cooling system with four operation modes: SMART, FULL SPEED, LOW SPEED and OFF. In SMART mode, noise falls to 23 dBA. Noise management has also improved in FULL SPEED mode, making the fixtures significantly quieter for interviews, music videos and TV commercials.

Modifier ecosystem and mounting compatibility

Forza II fixtures use a standard Bowens mount and include an extra umbrella mount. This compatibility allows Nanlite and many third-party modifiers to attach seamlessly and expand light shaping options on set.

Included accessories and rigging options

The Forza 300B II ships with practical items for real-world rigging:

• Quick release clamp included as standard.
• Longer connection cables included: 3 m head connection cable and 6 m AC connection cable.
• Optional 7.5 m and 12 m head connection cables are available for high-rigging scenarios.
• Improved cushioning and enhanced external sewing for greater durability of the included carrying materials.

Built-in effects, customization and firmware upgrades

The Forza II family includes built-in effects to support creative needs. The Forza 300 II has 11 effects built in and the Forza 300B II has 12. Each effect’s parameters are adjustable on the fixture, and further customization is available via the NANLINK app. You can update firmware through a USB flash drive to keep the fixture current with future improvements.
