Nanlite Projector Mount for Bownes mount w/25-45° Zoom

NANLITE Bowens Mount Projection Attachment – 25°–45° Zoom for precise beam control

The NANLITE Bowens Mount Projection Attachment (PJ-BM-25-45) gives you a compact, zoomable projection tool that adapts quickly to different lighting needs. You can change the beam angle from 25° to 45° by rotating the zoom ring, and you do not need to remove gobos or shutters to do it. The attachment mounts directly to Bowens fixtures up to 800W, including the NANLITE Forza, FC, and FS series, and it also fits other Bowens-mount lights.

Flexible beam control

Rotate the zoom ring to go from a medium 25° beam to a wider 45° wash. Consequently, you can move between tight, controlled projections and broader light coverage without swapping accessories. This mechanical zoom keeps gobos and shutters in place while you adjust the beam, so you maintain your creative setup while changing beam width.

Bowens compatibility and mounting

The attachment fits all Bowens-mount fixtures rated up to 800W. It lists explicit compatibility with NANLITE’s Forza, FC, and FS series spotlights. In practice, this means you can attach the projector to many Bowens-mount lights and use it directly on set. Additionally, the design allows direct mounting to the fixture without an extra yoke, which speeds up setup for fast-paced shoots.

Precision shaping and focus

The unit includes an integrated focus ring that enables smooth transitions from a sharp-edged projection to a softer edge. The lens barrel rotates 360°, which lets you change the orientation of gobos or shutters without disturbing their placement. Built-in shutters allow you to cut and shape the beam for refined scene control, and the magnetic aperture blade assists in minimizing spill and controlling beam edges.

Optical quality and internal design

Its optical system uses an aspherical lens design to reduce distortion and keep projection edges clean. Multi-layer optical coatings improve light transmission while helping to limit chromatic aberration. Inside, a matte black inner barrel reduces stray reflections and helps maintain contrast in the projected image.

Construction, weight, and heat handling

The body combines high-grade aluminum alloy with selected composites for a balance of strength and portability. The product specification lists a weight of 2.68 kg, which supports direct mounting without adding a separate yoke on many fixtures. Moreover, the housing is designed to handle high-heat environments; thermal-conductive aluminum alloy aids heat dissipation so the attachment maintains performance during extended, high-output sessions.

Creative accessories and flexibility

The attachment comes with a built-in gobo holder compatible with standard M-size gobos. It includes four M-size gobos for immediate use. For additional creative control, the package contains a gel frame for quick color effects and a magnetic aperture blade for refined beam-edge control. The product also supports an optional 18-blade iris for finer adjustments to beam diameter when required.

Portability and packing

The unit ships with a durable padded carrying case that has custom compartments. This protective case helps keep the projection attachment and included accessories organized and secure during transport and storage.

FAQ

Question: Will this projection attachment work with my Bowens-mount LED that is not a NANLITE model?
Answer: Yes. The attachment fits Bowens-mount fixtures rated up to 800W, so it can be used with many third-party Bowens-mount lights as long as the fixture meets that mounting and power guideline.

Question: Do I need to remove gobos or shutters when I change the beam from 25° to 45°?
Answer: No. You can adjust the beam angle simply by turning the zoom ring without removing gobos or altering shutters, which saves time during setups and maintains your shaping choices.

Question: What gobo sizes and accessories are included, and can I add more creative elements later?
Answer: The unit includes a built-in holder for standard M-size gobos and ships with four M-size gobos, plus a gel frame and a magnetic aperture blade. You can add optional accessories such as additional gobo sets or the 18-blade iris to expand creative possibilities.

Question: Is the attachment suitable for long, high-output sessions in terms of heat?
Answer: The housing uses thermal-conductive aluminum alloy to aid heat dissipation and is designed for high-heat environments, helping it maintain performance during extended use; however, always follow your fixture’s operating guidelines and ventilation recommendations.
