Our editorial take on the Forza 720B
The Nanlite Forza 720B Bi-Color LED Monolight presents a high-output lighting solution for studio and location work. Its 800-watt power consumption and up to 84,460 lux output at 3.3 feet with a reflector suggest suitability for demanding lighting scenarios. The bi-color capability, ranging from 2700 to 6500K with high CRI 96 and TLCI 97 ratings, indicates accurate color reproduction across different temperature settings.
Key features include precise dimming in 0.1% increments and control via the NANLINK app, Bluetooth, or DMX, offering flexibility in operation. The robust metal housing and included Bowens S mount add to its professional utility. While it offers AC power, optional V-mount battery operation requires separate battery purchases, which is a common but important consideration for portable use.
The separate power supply/controller, weighing 9.3 pounds, and a fixture weight of 11.7 pounds contribute to a substantial setup, indicating it is likely designed for more stationary or assisted mobile productions rather than highly agile run-and-gun shooting.
