Our editorial take on the Forza 720 Daylight LED Monolight with Rolling Case
The Nanlite Forza 720 has firmly arrived, cementing the company's place as a serious contender in the professional high-output lighting market. This is a flagship-level fixture that delivers an immense amount of daylight-balanced power, capable of competing with and even outshining many industry-standard HMIs or other high-power LEDs. Its output is truly impressive, creating a massive volume of clean, high-quality light that can be used as a primary key, bounced for a huge soft source, or punched through heavy diffusion.
Beyond the raw power, the design shows a mature understanding of on-set workflow. The head unit and controller, while substantial, maintain a reasonable power-to-weight ratio for this output class. The inclusion of a robust rolling case is not a mere accessory but a necessity that speaks to the light's professional target. Critically, the ability to power the unit via V-mount batteries (though it requires a significant number) untethers it from the studio, making it a viable and powerful tool for demanding location shoots. It's a well-built, thoughtfully designed workhorse.
