Nanlite Forza 500B II Bicolor & Nanlite FL-20G Kit in trolly case

Nanlite Forza 500B II Bi-Color + FL-20G Kit – Powerful, Portable Fresnel Lighting with Rolling Case

This Nanlite kit pairs the Forza 500B II bi-color LED spotlight with the FL-20G Fresnel lens and delivers flexible, high-output lighting in a rolling padded case. It suits film, photography, and live productions that require adjustable color temperature, high brightness, and easy transport.

Key benefits and use cases

The kit provides a compact yet powerful lighting solution for on-location shoots and studio setups. You get a bright bi-color fixture with precision color control, a glass Fresnel that shapes and intensifies the beam, and a robust rolling case that keeps components protected and ready to move between sets.

Forza 500B II spotlight – features and advantages

The Forza 500B II offers bi-color control from 2700K to 6500K, letting you match different lighting situations without changing fixtures. It delivers very high brightness with the included reflector and remains lightweight for easy positioning.

Furthermore, the fixture uses an advanced WW(RG) LED source and a frosted-glass light-mixing chamber that enables precise green-to-magenta adjustment of +/- 80. This G/M tuning helps you blend the light with other sources and achieve accurate color rendering on set.

The control unit is redesigned to be 16% smaller and fanless for quieter operation. You can power the system from AC or by using one or two side-mounted V-Mount batteries rated at 26V or 14.4V–14.8V (batteries sold separately). Also, the kit includes long cables—6-meter power cable and 3-meter head cable—so you can place the head and control unit at comfortable distances during shoots.

Connectivity and control

For remote and networked operation, the Forza 500B II supports Bluetooth control via the NANLINK app (iOS/Android). It also offers 2.4G wireless compatibility for the WS-RC-C2 Remote Control and WS-TB-1 Transmitter Box (both sold separately), as well as locking DMX/RDM ports for more advanced rigs. Built-in controls include an OLED screen and side-mounted battery plates for convenient access and monitoring.

Performance and light quality

The Forza 500B II produces high-fidelity light with a CRI of 96 and a TLCI of 97, reducing the need for color correction in post. SSI values are provided as additional color performance references: 84 at 3200K and 74 at 5600K. The fixture also offers fine dimming resolution down to 0.1% and a redesigned yoke with a one-sided stepless lock for precise positioning.

To match noise-sensitive environments, the fixture supports four fan modes: Smart, Full Speed, Low Speed, and Off.

FL-20G Fresnel lens – precision shaping and amplification

The FL-20G Fresnel Lens for Bowens mount gives you adjustable beam control from a narrow 10° spot to a wide 45° flood by using a simple twist. It uses a high-quality glass lens and a robust housing designed to handle heat efficiently for consistent output during long shoots.

When paired with the Forza 500B II, the FL-20G boosts spot-mode brightness significantly. The accessory includes metal 8-leaf barn doors to shape and reduce spill, and its Bowens mount allows quick modifier changes using a push-and-turn action.

Design details that matter

The Forza 500B II’s yoke rotates 360° and features a curved shape that improves tilt control with larger modifiers. It also includes a built-in umbrella mount to expand light-shaping options. The control unit and head cable lengths are extended to improve placement flexibility on set.
