Our editorial take on the Nanlite Forza 720B Bi-Color LED Monolight with Rolling Case
Nanlite has firmly planted its flag in the high-output LED market with the Forza 720B. This fixture isn't just an incremental update; it's a statement piece that directly challenges the dominance of more established players. The sheer brightness is the main story, delivering a massive punch of light that can serve as a powerful key, compete with the sun, or provide substantial bounce for large scenes. Its performance solidifies Nanlite's reputation for producing cinema-level quality at a price point that remains accessible to serious independent creators and smaller production houses.
The inclusion of bi-color functionality, with a versatile 2700K to 6500K range, adds critical creative flexibility that is often compromised in daylight-only models at this output level. While the 800-watt power draw demands consideration for location-based power solutions, the overall package is impressively refined. From the build quality to the thoughtfully included rolling case, the Forza 720B feels like a mature, professional tool ready for demanding workflows right out of the box. It represents a significant step up, delivering flagship-level power without the traditional flagship-level cost.
- Exceptional brightness and powerful output
- Wide bi-color temperature range (2700-6500K)
- Strong value proposition in its power class
- Excellent build quality
- Includes a durable rolling case for transport
- Significant power draw requires robust power solutions
- Price is a substantial investment for solo creators

The Nanlite Forza 300B II looks to be a worthy competitor to lights from both Aputure and Godox. The Nanlite Forza 300B II is lighter than the competition.
NANLITE Forza 720B (bi-color 2700-6500K) and Forza 720 (daylight 5600K) are the company’s strongest COB lights yet. The 720B offers 84.460 lux at a 1-meter distance when using the included 45° reflector and it can now be pre-ordered for $1849.
