High Color Accuracy
With an average CRI of 96 and TLCI of 97 and bi-color adjustability from 2700 to 6500K, the Forza 720B provides a high level of accuracy in precise color reproduction.
Suite of Wireless Control Options
The powerful NANLINK mobile app can be used via built-in Bluetooth. The separately available WS-TB-1 transmitter box can be paired with the built-in 2.4 GHz receiver for more elaborate setups. Advanced applications can utilize DMX and RDM control through XLR input and output.
Built-In Effects & Unlimited Customization
12 built-in practical effects allow the creation of complicated lighting scenarios in seconds, and all of the effects can be customized and saved as quickly recallable presets with the free NANLINK mobile app. Built-in practical effects include CCT loop, INT loop, flash, pulse, storm, TV, paparazzi, candle/fire, bad bulb, firework, explosion, and welding.
Bowens S-Type Reflector Mount
The Forza 720B monolight features the very common Bowens S-type reflector mount providing compatibility with a large number of light modifiers and lenses, including Nanlite's own line of Easy-Up softboxes, the Bowens mount projector, and the FL-20G Fresnel with barndoors.
Multi-Voltage AC or V-Mount Battery Operation
The Forza 720B can run on a standard AC outlet anywhere in the world, with an AC input range of 100 to 240 VAC. It can also operate in locations without AC power by using two 14.8V or 26V V-mount batteries, available separately.
High Battery-Powered Output
Similar lights from other brands are typically limited to 50% or less brightness when operating on battery power. The Forza 720B provides an output up to 65% for greater brightness on location.
Powered USB-A Port
A USB-A port provides power to external devices like DMX receivers and also acts as an interface for product firmware updates.
Full Featured Yoke
The yoke mount is compatible with both 5/8" baby pins and 1-1/8" junior mounts. The yoke itself has an umbrella holder and a durable, single-sided lock for quick adjustment.

Nanlite Forza 720B Reviews

I LOVE these lights

By Justin
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-12-06

Superb light. I now have three of these (and two 300B). The build quality is stellar; almost everything is metal. The yoke is smooth, easy to operate, and stable. The ballast is actually smaller than my 300B (version 1). The cables are very high-quality and flexible, with durable locking connectors. The cables are quite long, and quite thick, so cable management on set is important. Fan noise is negligible so far for me. And as for the light itself… it's crazy bright and incredible. This setup is replacing my set of studio strobes, so that I have one light kit that I can use for motion or stills.

Great punch / fire power

Lots of output - at all color temps with good CRI scores, etc. Seems to be built well to last (fingers crossed). So far I'm very pleased with the purchase. Works well with existing soft boxes I already own - as well as other Bowens modifiers. I've been Aputure guy... but may start looking at Nanlite more in the future if this keeps up performance.
