Our editorial take on the Nanlite Forza 720 Daylight LED Monolight with Rolling Case

The Nanlite Forza 720 is a powerful daylight LED monolight designed for studio applications. With 800 watts of power, it delivers substantial output, rated at 124,000 Lux at 1 meter with the included reflector. Its color accuracy standards, CRI 95 and TLCI 96, suggest reliable color reproduction for various productions. The inclusion of a rolling padded case underscores its intended use in professional environments where transport and storage are considerations.

Control options are comprehensive, offering app-controlled dimming, DMX, and RDM, alongside a physical controller. While it supports external battery power via V-mount plates, batteries themselves are not included, which is a common practice for high-power lights in this category. The 11 built-in practical effects and Bowens S-type front accessory mount add to its versatility.

Prospective buyers should consider the overall weight of the fixture and power supply for setup, totaling nearly 20 pounds. However, for those needing high-intensity, color-accurate daylight illumination with flexible control and transport features, the Forza 720 presents a robust option. Its metal housing and fan-based cooling system are indicative of a durable design intended for consistent use.

Best for: This monolight is best for professionals seeking a high-output, color-accurate daylight source for studio and on-location shoots demanding significant illumination.
