Nanlite Projector Mount for Bowens mount w/19° lens

NANLITE PJ-BM-19 Projection Attachment for Bowens Mount – 19° Lens Boosts Light Intensity

The NANLITE PJ-BM-19 is a Bowens-mount projection attachment with a 19° lens. It fits NANLITE fixtures that use a Bowens Mount and raises the output and projection capabilities of those lights. Attach it to specified fixtures to increase illuminance and to shape precise projection images.

Compatibility and quick setup

The PJ-BM-19 is compatible with NANLITE fixtures that use the Bowens Mount. Specifically, it aligns with:

• Forza 200
• Forza 300 / 300B
• Forza 500 & 720
• FS-150, FS-200 and FS-300

Simply attach the projection attachment to a compatible fixture to change the output characteristics and achieve projection effects.

Measured illuminance improvement with Forza 500

The product documentation provides comparative illuminance figures for a Forza 500 fitted with the PJ-BM-19 at a 3 m distance. The reported values are:

• 11 times — light only
• 3 times — with reflector
• 1 time — with Fresnel in spot 10°

These figures indicate how the projection attachment alters output under the listed conditions when used with a Forza 500 at the stated distance.

Precision optics to reduce color fringing

The PJ-BM-19 uses a refined optical system designed to minimize color fringing around the edge of the illumination circle. This optical design aims to deliver a cleaner, more accurate projection edge for image work that requires pinpoint accuracy.

Key optical characteristics reported by the manufacturer include:

Additional optical design features include a non-curved lens to improve uniformity and reduce chromatic aberration, optical coating to enhance transmittance and CCT accuracy, and an extinction treatment on the lens’ inner wall to make the image more homogeneous and the edge of the illumination circle sharper.

Durable construction and mounting options

The PJ-BM-19 uses an aluminum alloy die-cast metal body. This construction offers a balance between durability and weight while maintaining a sturdy build for regular use.

The attachment uses a new yoke design focused on unshakable stabilization. The yoke accommodates both a 5/8” baby pin and a 1-1/8” junior pin, allowing you to mount the unit on virtually any light stand available on the market.

Transport, protection and included items

The PJ-BM-19 and its accessories can be packed inside a consolidated flight case for safe transportation. The manufacturer supplies a flight case to help protect the attachment and its components during transit.

Smart FAQ

Question: Which NANLITE fixtures work with the PJ-BM-19?
Answer: The PJ-BM-19 is compatible with NANLITE fixtures that use a Bowens Mount, including Forza 200, Forza 300/300B, Forza 500 & 720, and FS-150, FS-200 and FS-300.

Question: How does the PJ-BM-19 affect brightness with a Forza 500 at 3 m?
Answer: According to the provided values, a Forza 500 with the PJ-BM-19 at 3 m yields 11 times the illuminance in “light only” mode, 3 times with a reflector, and 1 time with a Fresnel in a 10° spot configuration.

Question: What optical improvements does the PJ-BM-19 provide for projection work?
Answer: The attachment uses a refined optical system to minimize color fringing and improve edge definition. It features a non-curved lens for uniformity, optical coating to improve transmittance and CCT accuracy, and an extinction treatment on the lens’ inner wall to enhance image homogeneity.

Question: What hardware and protection are included for transport and mounting?
Answer: The unit comes with a consolidated flight case for transport. Its die-cast aluminum body and the new yoke allow mounting via either a 5/8” baby pin or a 1-1/8” junior pin, so it can be placed on standard light stands.

Question: What items are supplied in the box to get started?
Answer: The package includes the 19° lens, the Bowens mount projection attachment body (without lens), a silicone protective cap, four B-size GOBOs, a GOBO frame, a gel frame, the flight case and a user manual, all of which allow immediate setup and transport.
