The Nanlite Forza 60 II preserves the compact form and high-quality light of the original Forza 60 while improving performance and versatility. It provides daylight-balanced output at 5600K, a 45° mini reflector for focused beam control, a locking DMX port for secure wired control, built-in Bluetooth for wireless app control, and a quieter integrated fan for low-noise operation.
Nanlite refined the Forza 60 II based on user feedback. The second-generation model improves interaction, control, noise management and overall user experience while keeping the compact and efficient design that made the first generation popular. As a result, the Forza 60 II delivers a more polished workflow for creators who need a small, powerful spotlight.
The Forza 60 II fits high output into an ultracompact body. An updated optical and reflector design improves the illumination circle and maintains efficiency. In combined references to the Forza 60 II and 60B II family, measured illuminance is listed as 3261 lux / 2577 lux at 1 m with the light only, illustrating the class-leading output packed into a small head.
The Forza 60 II achieves high color-rendering performance. Its reported scores include a CRI of 95 and a TLCI of 98. Across the Forza 60 II/60B II series, TM-30 Rf averages 93 and TM-30 Rg averages 100, indicating strong fidelity and saturation performance that helps preserve accurate color information for capture and post-production.
The Forza 60 II features a significantly quieter built-in fan. With the fan running, noise levels can drop to around 20 dBA, making the light suitable for many sound-sensitive recording situations without needing to turn the fan off. You can also turn the fan off when necessary; note that maximum output drops to 30% with the fan turned off.
The Forza 60 II uses the compact FM mount and participates in the growing FM mount ecosystem of modifiers for diffusing, concentrating, cutting and projecting light. Nanlite includes a Bowens-mount adapter to access a wider selection of native Bowens accessories, expanding the range of modifiers you can use.
The light supports DC operation via an optional battery grip. It accepts either two NPF batteries or a single V-mount battery for run-and-gun setups, allowing creators to move between locations without relying on AC power. A padded carrying bag is included for protection and easy transport, and the bag includes an external fixing point for a light stand to streamline on-location workflows.
The Forza 60 II / 60B II family offers multiple built-in effects (11/12 effects depending on model) with adjustable parameters. These effects let creators combine light and shadow to produce creative looks directly from the fixture or fine-tune them in the NANLINK app.
For reference across the Forza 60B II model, there are two output modes: a conventional maximum output mode and a constant output mode that maintains relatively stable intensity when changing CCT. While the Forza 60 II is a fixed 5600K daylight model, this explains how the B-version handles CCT changes in exposure-sensitive contexts.

Question: What color temperature does the Forza 60 II use and is it variable?
Answer: The Forza 60 II is a daylight-balanced fixture at 5600K. It is not the variable-CCT 60B model, but it retains the same compact design and many of the control and performance features from the Forza family.
Question: How can I control the Forza 60 II remotely on set?
Answer: You can control it on-board using the OLED display and knobs, remotely via Bluetooth with the NANLINK app, or wire it into a DMX/RDM system using the locking DMX port. The light also includes a 2.4G wireless module for integrated control with other Nanlite fixtures.
Question: Is the Forza 60 II suitable for sound-sensitive recording environments?
Answer: Yes. The Forza 60 II has significantly quieter fans and can reach about 20 dBA with the fan running, which is suitable for many recording scenarios. If you turn the fan off, be aware maximum output drops to 30%.
Question: What mounting and modifier options are available?
Answer: The light uses Nanlite’s FM mount and ships with a 45° mini reflector and a Bowens-mount adapter, giving you access to both the FM-modifier ecosystem and native Bowens accessories for a wide range of diffusion and shaping tools.
Question: What is included in the box and can I power the light from batteries?
Answer: The package includes the Forza 60 II, power adapter with V-mount plate and head cable, power cable, BH-FZ60 battery handgrip, Bowens adapter, 45° mini reflector, protective cap, padded carrying bag and user manual. You can run the light from batteries using the included battery handgrip which supports two NPF batteries or a single V-mount battery when used with the V-mount plate.
Question: Will the light receive future updates?
Answer: Yes. The Forza 60 II supports firmware upgrades via the USB port on the lamp head so Nanlite can add features and improvements based on user feedback.
