The Nanlite FS-150B is the bi-color version of the FS-150, designed to expand the FS lighting ecosystem. It gives creators a wider Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) range and more flexible combinations of lights for content creation and commercial shoots.
Despite its compact form, the FS-150B delivers high illuminance and practical output for many shooting scenarios. You can use it as a key light for small product photography or for individual live streaming. Alternatively, you can pair multiple FS fixtures to light portraits and broadcast studio setups.
The FS-150B achieves high ratings across recognized color rendering metrics. As a result, it reproduces skin tones, food colors and costume details accurately. This makes it straightforward to preserve the look and feel you want across different shooting conditions.
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Output (with reflector) | 26,300 lux @ 1 m (5600K, with reflector) |
| CCT range | 2700K–6500K |
| Color rendering | CRI: average 96; TLCI: average 97; TM-30 Rg: average 102; TM-30 Rf: average 95 |
The FS-150B offers two output modes: Maximum Output and Constant Output. Constant Output mode keeps intensity relatively uniform when you change the CCT. Consequently, you avoid sudden shifts in light ratio and gain convenience when fine-tuning exposure in sensitive shooting environments.
The FS-150B includes a set of practical effects that you can tailor to your scenes. These effects expand creative possibilities without adding external tools or complex setups.
Nanlite integrates power and control modules inside the FS-150B to keep the unit compact. The minimal onboard interface uses only two knobs for intuitive operation, and the addition of a MODE key enables quick switching between functions.
For remote operation, the FS-150B supports 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth dual connectivity. Therefore, you can control the light with a wireless remote or with the NANLINK app for group control and more complex lighting setups on set.
The FS-150B uses an efficient cooling design that balances noise and temperature control. A low-noise fan improves heat dissipation, and you can shut the fan down for very quiet environments. Note that when the fan is turned off, maximum output is reduced to 15%.
The FS-150B ships with a Bowens mount and an umbrella mount, which lets you attach a wide range of light shaping tools. This compatibility makes it easy to change the quality and spread of light for portrait photography, video production and live streaming.
The FS-150B includes a built-in USB-A port for firmware updates using a flash drive. This feature allows Nanlite to optimize operation over time and to unlock potential improvements without replacing hardware.
Question: What CCT range does the FS-150B cover?
Answer: The FS-150B covers a bi-color range from 2700K to 6500K, allowing flexible color temperature adjustment for warm to daylight-balanced lighting.
Question: How does Constant Output mode help on set?
Answer: Constant Output mode maintains relatively uniform intensity when you change the CCT, which helps keep exposure stable and simplifies parameter tuning in exposure-sensitive scenes.
Question: Can I control multiple lights remotely?
Answer: Yes. The FS-150B supports both 2.4G and Bluetooth control. You can use a wireless remote or the NANLINK app to coordinate group control and build more complex lighting setups.
Question: Is the unit noisy and what happens if I switch off the fan?
Answer: The FS-150B uses a low-noise fan for efficient heat dissipation and is designed to reduce acoustic impact. For ultra-quiet shooting, the fan can be turned off, but maximum output will be limited to 15% when the fan is off.
Question: Which modifiers does the FS-150B support?
Answer: It uses an industry-standard Bowens mount and an umbrella mount. This enables compatibility with a wide range of Nanlite modifiers, including parabolic and lantern softboxes, rectangle softboxes, umbrellas, Fresnel lens and projection attachments listed in the product description.
Question: How can I keep the FS-150B updated?
Answer: You can update the firmware by using a flash drive with the built-in USB-A port. Firmware updates allow ongoing optimization and the potential addition of new features without changing hardware.
