Our editorial take on the Forza 60 II Daylight LED Monolight
The Nanlite Forza 60 II is a thoughtful and refined update to an already popular compact LED. This second generation model doesn't try to reinvent the formula, instead focusing on meaningful quality-of-life improvements that address direct user feedback. The core appeal is unchanged, it remains an impressively small, lightweight, and powerful daylight-balanced source that delivers excellent performance for its size.
The most significant upgrades are in usability and on-set practicality. A redesigned user interface makes control more intuitive, while the enhanced noise management system results in noticeably quieter fan operation, a crucial benefit for any production capturing audio. While the output has received a modest bump, the real story here is the overall polish. These refinements create a more professional and reliable tool, cementing the Forza 60 II's position as a top-tier option for creators who demand portability without sacrificing quality.
- Improved, quieter fan for on-set audio
- Enhanced user interface and controls
- Excellent portability and compact footprint
- Solid output for its small size
- High-quality, accurate daylight-balanced light
- Iterative update, not a revolutionary redesign
- Lacks the flexibility of bi-color or RGB versions

The 60C is an appealing addition to the Nanlite ecosystem for filmmakers and photographers looking to add a sharp burst of color to their lighting designs. This is a somewhat niche light that is built around precision in terms of color and falloff.
Nanlite’s six new Forza LED spotlights and two PavoTube LED tube lights feature changes that significantly improve them.
This thread is a discussion comparing the Nanlite FS300B and the Godox LA150BI, not a review of the Forza 60 II Daylight LED Monolight. Therefore, I cannot provide a verdict for the Forza 60 II based on the provided text.
According to NANLITE, all the new Forza II COB lights feature improvements when it comes to interaction, control, noise management, and more. All three new bi-color versions of the fixtures offer a variable CCT range of 2700K to 6500K and two output modes – maximum output mode and constant output mode.
The Forza 60 II and 60B II have been upgraded from the originals and they now feature better user interaction and control, better noise management, and more output.
