The Nanlite Forza 720 LED Light: A Powerful Studio Workhorse
The Nanlite Forza 720 LED Light isn’t your average studio spotlight. This powerhouse is designed to replicate the brilliance of natural daylight while offering exceptional control and flexibility for photographers and videographers. Let’s explore what makes the Forza 720 an essential tool for your creative arsenal.
Unleash Daylight Power in a Compact Package:
Despite its compact size, the Forza 720 packs a serious punch. With an impressive output, it recreates the effect of sunlight streaming through windows, perfect for replicating natural light conditions during any shoot. This versatility eliminates the need for bulky HMI lights, while the Forza 720’s lightweight design (head: 10.58 lbs, control unit: 9.26 lbs) makes it easy to handle, mount, and position on set. Additionally, the Forza 720 offers precise dimming control from 0-100% in 0.1% increments, allowing you to fine-tune the light for any desired effect.
Unwavering Color Accuracy for Professional Results:
Color accuracy is paramount in professional productions. The Forza 720 delivers exceptional results with a remarkable CRI (Color Rendering Index) of 95 and a TLCI (Television Lighting Consistency Index) of 96. These industry-leading ratings ensure your videos and photos display natural-looking colors with exceptional precision, minimizing the need for extensive color correction in post-production. This translates to a streamlined workflow and exceptional results that will impress your clients or viewers.
Untethered Control at Your Fingertips:
The Forza 720 prioritizes creative freedom by offering a variety of control options. Utilize the built-in Bluetooth for wireless control via the Nanlink mobile app on your smartphone or tablet. Alternatively, leverage the built-in 2.4G with remotes for simple adjustments. For more complex setups, the (optional) WS-TB-1 Transmitter Box expands your control possibilities. Advanced users can even integrate the Forza 720 into larger lighting systems using DMX and RDM control through XLR input and output. A USB-A port is also provided for future firmware updates.
Power Your Creativity Anywhere:
The Forza 720 adapts to your workflow, offering both AC and battery power options. For studio use, simply plug it into a standard AC outlet. When venturing on location shoots, unleash the power of the Forza 720 by utilizing two (sold separately) 14.8V or 26V V-Mount batteries that conveniently mount on the sides of the Control Unit for easy access. The Control Unit also features multiple loops for attaching safety wires when mounting the light.
Unmatched Versatility with Bowens Mount Compatibility:
The Forza 720 boasts exceptional versatility thanks to its Bowens mount compatibility. This industry-standard mount allows you to leverage a vast array of modifiers and lenses to achieve your desired lighting effects. Explore Nanlite’s own line of Easy-Up softboxes, the Bowens Mount Projector, or the FL-20G fresnel and barndoors (all sold separately) to customize your lighting setup and create a wide range of looks.
Built-in Effects for Creative Expression:
The Forza 720 goes beyond basic lighting by offering 11 built-in special effects, readily accessible at your fingertips. Simulate a dramatic lightning storm, recreate the frenetic energy of paparazzi flashes, or add a subtle flicker for a cinematic interview setting. These effects are deeply customizable and can be saved as presets within the free Nanlink mobile app for quick recall, allowing you to add dynamism and emotional impact to your projects without the need for additional equipment or complex setups.
Durable Construction and User-Friendly Design:
The Forza 720 is built to withstand the rigors of everyday use in professional settings. The yoke mount, compatible with both 5/8″ baby pins and 1 1/8″ junior pins, features a durable, single-sided lock and an umbrella holder for added functionality. Furthermore, the Forza 720 offers four DMX dimming curves (Logarithm, S-Curve, etc.) to create more expressive fades, ensuring you achieve the perfect look and feel for your production.
