The Bowens-mounted Nanlite Forza 720B immediately sparked my interest as a Bi-Color COB (Chip On Board) LED fixture. Compared to other recent 1200-watt and 600-watt offerings from both sister brand Nanlux and Nanlite competitor, Aputure, the Forza 720B sits in an 800-watt territory that’s unique. During several shoots, I had the chance to put the 720B and the Nanlite projection accessory to the test. Here’s my full review. Image Credit: Graham Sheldon With NAB behind us and Cinegear fast approaching, lighting brands like Nanlite have been rolling out a series of impressive updates. The Nanlite 720B (B = Bi-Color) looks to fill the middle ground between fixture size and output, making it a perfect portable key light with punch. When it comes to high output daylight LED fixtures, the Evoke 1200 from Nanlux and the LS 1200D from Aputure might hold flagship positions. Still, there’s a noticeable gap between these 1200-watt fixtures and the Forza 300B or the Aputure LS 600x (Aputure’s nearest competing fixture). Nanlite fills this gap with the Forza 720B Bi-Color and $1649.00 Forza 720 Daylight variant. Features of the Nanlite Forza 720B that stood out for me include: Bi-Color: 2700K – 6500K Selectable CCT RangeDimmable in 0.1% Increments Bowens S-Type Mount (Tons of 1st and 3rd Party Accessories Available)The $1849.00 Price Tag Colleague Johnnie Behiri had a chance to check out the Nanlite 720B on the floor of NAB.
