Nanlite FC 300B / FC500B

With NANLITE's excellent features rooted in its DNA, the FC series taps into new potential for content creators, photographers and filmmakers to unleash their unlimited creativity. The use of this lighting will become a new trend in the industry.

The FC series adopts a new exterior design concept, while embodying NANLITE's DNA. The exclusive NANLITE blue decorative frame, combined with a powerful, wing-shaped upper body that resembles a soaring eagle, symbolizes that in the world of creation, the sky is the only limit for the FC series.

The nominal power of FC-300B/500B is 350W and 520W respectively, sufficient to output 37340 lux@1m (FC-300B with reflector, 5600K) and 65640 lux@1m (FC-500B with reflector, 5600K),

A professional-grade emitter ensures high-quality and even beam spread. The COB surface is equipped with a glass protector to ensure professional operation.

The FC-300B/500B have a wide color temperature range of 2700K-6500K, with two built-in operating modes.

The maximum output mode ensures full output at maximum brightness for the selected color temperature and unleashes the light's performance.      

 The constant output mode guarantees constant brightness throughout the entire CCT range.

Based on various tests, including color rendition, accuracy, saturation, the color reproduction capability of the FC-300B/500B has been comprehensively evaluated and optimized. With average CRI/TLCI values of 96 and 98 respectively, the fixtures can offer realistic color rendering with very high accuracy.

The FC-300B/500B provides an easy dimming method and emphasizes user convenience. In addition, the FC-500B supports precise built-in dimming in 0.1% increments.                      

With a simplified user interface and a 2-inch screen, featuring two knobs and two buttons, operating the lighting is quite intuitive.

The power supply features a safety strap and a quick-release plate for easy attachment to a light stand via a quick-release mounting clamp (available separately).      

Combined with the lightweight and compact power supply and the powerful FC-300B/500B, the workflow is shorter and more efficient.

The FC-300B/500B have built-in 2.4G and Bluetooth modules, which support Nanlink APP control. In addition, the presence of wired DMX/RDM control allows the FC-300B/500B to meet the needs of television, commercial and professional-grade filming crews for complex and precise group lighting control.

Coming with a standard Bowens mount, the FC-300B/500B are fully compatible with Nanlite's ecosystem of Bowens accessories. Also equipped with an umbrella hole for mounting a diffusion umbrella and a reflective umbrella to create richer lighting effects and provide an ideal lighting solution for more scenes.

The FC-300B/500B have 12 built-in special effects that help bring the scenarios in creators' minds to life.

The parameters of each effect are fully adjustable via on-board control, and more customization can be achieved through the Nanlink app.

The FC 300B/500B includes a fan control system with four fan modes: SMART, FULL SPEED, LOW SPEED, and OFF. In SMART mode, the average noise level is only 23/27dBA, demonstrating excellent noise control capability, which will bring a more comfortable recording experience in the studio, such as interviews and live broadcasts.

Equipped with a USB port, the FC-300B/500B supports firmware updates, continuously optimizing performance and unlocking new possibilities in the future.

When speaking about these new products, NANLITE Managing Director Nancy says: “The Forza series has been on the market for quite some time, we just want to offer something new this time, that is the concept of the FC series, but the build quality and good features are still there. We hope you creators will like the change.”
