Nanlite is now hitting the budget-friendly COB LED market with the release of the FC120B Bi-Color LED Spotlight. The FC120B works as a lighting solution for image makers who want to express their creativity with a cost-effective light that still packs some of the professional features of the Forza series. This 120W unit is slightly bigger than the FC60B, but the same FM mount should make it feel just as small, except for its larger reflector. Thanks to their intentionally compact and lightweight design, they work great for smaller spaces or on-the-go productions. With the same stylish wing-shaped top housing as the FC300B and FC500B, the FC120B stands out for its AC or battery power options, color accuracy, and advanced control methods. Plus, a USB-C port allows you to run it on optional power banks. In the studio or out in the field, the FC120B will provide a variable bi-color throw of illumination for your shots. It operates on an optional V-mount battery with a separately available Nanlite handgrip. A corrosion-resistant hard foam case with efficient shock protection is included, so you can safely store and transport the light wherever you go.

Nanlite FC120B Overview

Nanlite is now hitting the budget-friendly COB LED market with the release of the FC120B Bi-Color LED Spotlight.

It operates on an optional V-mount battery with a separately available Nanlite handgrip. A corrosion-resistant hard foam case with efficient shock protection is included, so you can safely store and transport the light wherever you go.

Bi-Color Output with Advanced Features
The FC120B's advanced features include maximum output mode to supply full output power and constant output mode to maintain constant intensity across its 2700-6500K CCT range. Dimmable from 0 to 100%, users can easily achieve the precise intensity needed for video and photo productions. At 5600K, the bare fixture outputs 5333 lux at 3.3', which climbs to an impressive 17,450 lux at 3.3' with its included reflector.
Color Accurate
The light has a high CRI of 96 and a TLCI of 98, meaning you can shoot with confidence knowing the color reproduction will be precise.
Multiple Control Options
The FC120B provides easy-to-use onboard controls with a built-in 1.9" screen, but it can also be controlled remotely.
  • You can fully control the light from your smartphone via Bluetooth with the NANLINK app for iOS and Android
  • The fixture can also be remotely controlled on a 2.4 GHz connection using the separately available WS-TB-1 transmitter or WS-RC-C2 remote control for larger setups
  • Locking 3.5mm DMX/RDM port facilitates advanced control and enables the FC120B to be quickly adopted into any DMX-controlled environment using the optional CB-DMX-3.5C-1/2 DMX adapter cable
12 Practical Lighting Effects
Choose between 12 built-in customizable effects that can be saved as presets using the NANLINK app.
  • CCT loop, INT loop, flash, pulse, storm, TV, paparazzi, candle/fire, bad bulb, firework, explosion, and welding
AC Operation
The FC120B is conveniently ready to work plugged into a standard AC outlet thanks to its included AC power adapter and 14.7' long power cable.
Extended Power Options
The light provides improved battery power options to give you longer and more efficient runtimes that allow you to operate the fixture in any location regardless of power availability.
  • Runs on a separately available 14.8 or 26V V-mount battery using an optional BTBGXLR4 V-mount battery handgrip
  • USB-C port accepts power from external PD 3.0 or 2.0 power banks and chargers of 30W
Four Fan Modes
The light offers four fan modes for speed adjustments or absolute silence.
  • Smart, Full Speed, Low Speed & Off modes
  • 15% maximum output when turned off
FM Mount & Bowens Adapter
By utilizing a proprietary FM light modifier mount, the FC120B is compatible with a selection of Nanlite light modifiers, such as different types of softboxes, an optional FL-11 Fresnel lens, or a projection attachment. The fixture also includes a Bowens adapter for expanded compatibility with a vast number of optional light shapers. Both the base of the light itself and the Bowens mount adapter have an integrated umbrella holder.
Compact & Lightweight Design
As compact as possible, the FC120B is bright enough for multiple applications and small enough for tight spaces or even to hide behind objects without getting to the frame. This 7.6 x 7.5 x 4.5" fixture weighs only 2.1 lb, making it a portable lighting solution.
Additional Features
  • 120W unit
  • Built with robust composite plastic materials
  • USB port allows firmware updates and supplies enough power for optional wireless DMX receivers
