The Nanlite Forza 500 Daylight LED Monolight is a powerhouse studio and location light engineered for professional film, TV, and photography production. Delivering a blazing 93,350 lux at 3.3 ft with its included 55° reflector and a precise 5600K daylight color temperature, it ensures your subjects are rendered with cinematic accuracy every single time.
Weighing just 5.5 lb and powered by either AC mains (110–240V worldwide) or optional 26V batteries, the Forza 500 is equally at home in a studio or on a remote location shoot. A CRI of 98 and TLCI of 95, full 0–100% dimming, Bowens mount compatibility, and built-in DMX plus wireless control make it one of the most versatile and travel-friendly LED monolights available in Egypt.
