Our editorial take on the Forza 60B II

The Nanlite Forza 60B II is a second-generation bi-color LED monolight designed for versatility. With an adjustable color temperature range of 2700K to 6500K and high color accuracy ratings (CRI 96, TLCI 98), it offers flexibility for various lighting scenarios, from daylight to tungsten emulation. Its compact design, weighing 1.5 lb, combined with multiple power options including AC and compatibility with V-mount or NP-F batteries (not included), suggests suitability for both studio and on-location use.

Key features include a built-in dimmer for 0 to 100% control, app control via Bluetooth, and a quieter integrated fan, addressing common user needs in the COB light category. The unit also comes with essential accessories like an AC adapter, battery handgrip, and a carrying case, enhancing its portability. While it offers a proprietary front accessory mount, users should consider its implications for accessory compatibility.

With 14,350 Lux at 3.3 ft (1m) at 5600K using the included reflector, the Forza 60B II provides significant output for its size. The inclusion of a locking DMX port further expands its integration into professional lighting setups. Its feature set positions it as a strong contender for creators needing a portable and adaptable lighting solution.

Best for: This light is best for content creators and videographers needing a portable, color-accurate, and versatile bi-color LED monolight for studio and on-location shoots.
