The Nanlite FS-300C is an RGBW color spotlight designed for videographers, photographers, live streamers and other creators who need flexible, color-accurate lighting. It delivers rich color options, precise color control and strong illuminance that can serve as a primary light source in many shooting situations. Furthermore, the FS-300C keeps the FS series’ focus on simplicity and cost-effectiveness while expanding creative possibilities.
The FS-300C uses a high power-ratio LED layout and advanced optical light mixing to produce even beams and high brightness in all modes. Creators can rely on the unit as a main light for interviews, product shoots, streaming setups and scenes where color control and brightness matter. The spotlight’s performance data demonstrates its capability to deliver strong light output at common color temperatures and colored settings.
The FS-300C combines an RGBW light engine with Nanlite’s color mixing algorithms to provide wide color options and accurate tuning. You can select precise hues in HSI mode and apply accurate white balance settings in CCT mode. These features support creative workflows that require specific color rendering and tonal control.
These metrics allow you to judge how faithfully the light reproduces colors and how it will perform in broadcast or film contexts. The FS-300C’s RGBW engine expands creative options beyond the standard white continuum by enabling direct color selection as well as accurate white reproduction.
The FS-300C lists output values across color channels and in CCT mode at full power. The design focuses on providing strong brightness even when using color modes. As a result, you get reliable illumination for many shooting setups.
Measured illuminance examples illustrate the spotlight’s potential: it produces 34,200 lux at 1 m (5600K, with reflector) and 15,850 lux at 1 m (green, with reflector). These figures indicate that the FS-300C can outperform many lights within its wattage class while delivering even beam distribution.
The FS-300C includes 15 built-in effects. Each effect comes with fully adjustable parameters so you can fine-tune speed, intensity or color behavior to match a shot. These effects are useful for creating atmospheres, simulating practical lights or adding dynamic elements to a scene.
For control, the light provides multiple convenient options. Use on-board controls for quick adjustments, a remote controller for distance operation, or connect via the NANLINK APP 2.0 for wireless grouping and presets. Built-in Bluetooth and 2.4G modules enable app and remote connectivity, supporting synchronized control across multiple fixtures—useful for more complex productions like music video shoots or multi-light setups.
The FS-300C uses a simple and familiar control layout: two knobs plus a MODE button. You can switch quickly between CCT, HSI and effect modes, and access menu settings with minimal fuss. The left knob supports a brightness reset function, while the right knob offers a settings lock for secure operation during shoots. In addition, a USB port allows firmware updates so you can keep the unit current with feature improvements.
