NANLITE Forza 60C — Tiny, full color light & talking head lighting ideas

In this week’s episode, we have a look at the NANLITE Forza 60C RGBLAC LED light. This small LED light adds 3 color chips- lime, amber, and cyan- to a traditional red/green/blue LED array for a wide range of output colors. The Forza 60C has several modes, including HSI, RGB, and XY, as well as a color temperature range of 1,800 to 20,000 K. The 60C kit includes the light itself, a few different powering options, an FM to Bowens mount adapter, and 45º reflector; you can also add on a fresnel lens and set of barn doors. In this episode we demonstrate how lights like the Forza 60C can be creatively used in various film projects and scenes.
