My NEW Favourite Portable Powerhouse Light (Nanlite Forza 150B Review)

My NEW Favourite Portable Powerhouse Light (Nanlite Forza 150B Review)
So the Nanlite Forza 150B is seriously an amazing feat of engineering. How Nanlite can get 170W of power out of such a small, compact unit is beyond me and now the fact that it is bi-colored is just the best thing in the world! This will replace my Forza 60B for on-location portable lighting due to the fact that it can still be run off 14.8V batteries, but now gives us access to more power.

This light is one of my new all time favourites! So much power for such a small fixture and I've used it so much since getting my hands on it!

[@PROtogPhotographic]

I agree! I have added it into my personal kit along with my 2x 60B's and 2x 30X's

[@thomascaminada7808]

Thanks for the review. That does look like a great light. I was just wondering, comparing to the recent 60C. Would you say the fan noise is quieter or louder or similar to the forza 60c ?
Thanks a lot

[@mauriciolee7349]

Thank Andrew for this HELPFUL video. It helps me make an informed decision about the Forza 150B

[@AlbertoTrianaDirectorDP]

Right on! Looks like a wonderful piece of kit! Great vid as usual.

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Thanks dude!

[@timdanyo898]

I just purchased another 60B before I even knew about the 150B! With the ability to attach the projector unit and all the 60B accessories plus twice the output.. It’s a no brainer. 150B for the purchase.

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

You know it! Triple the Power, Triple the fun ;)

[@timdanyo898]

@@AndrewMurphyFilms whoa.. Triple the output? Crazy!

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

You know it! 60W to 170W

[@PROtogPhotographic]

Love this light. If you are not trying to over power the sun, this gives you plenty of punch for so many situations.

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Absolutely right!!

[@princebhowmick1075]

Great videos

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Thankyou

[@jimmyhii3]

Hey Andrew, do you find the Forza 150B siginificantly brighter than the 60C at normal CCT ranges? I'm wanting to add more lights to my current 60C kit and was originally considering the 150B for times when I want more power but I can't help but wonder if the power difference is only a small step (based on reviews with lux readings I've seen, it seems like just a 15-20% difference).

[@NanliteGlobal]

Tks for sharing.😃

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Thanks for watching!

[@Clemme]

Cheers mate. I use the 60c and 150b most of the time, even when shooting outside. However, I would like to be able to use a 120-inch parabolic softbox, but the 60c/150b doesn't provide enough power to do that. I'm not sure if the 300b will provide enough power, or if I should go with the 500b. The plan is to power the key light (300/500b) using a 614Wh power station.

[@DavidStegmann]

Dear ll, how many minutes will the battery last at full power?

[@11557bexley]

Great info, does this come with a battery, or you have to buy a separate battery, thank you

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Need to buy it separately

[@Sabrithai]

Nice video. What’s the difference between 150 and 150B ?

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

150B is Bi-coloured so you can change the colour temperature from 2700 to 6500 kelvin :)

[@DataRockShow]

Can I use Aputure Light Dome II on Forza 150B?

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

If it's a standard bowens mount, then yes.

[@edjela]

How do you power one of those lights when you are outdoors?

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

14 or 26v v mount batteries :)

[@andugo]

How much dimmer compare to 150 daylight?

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

I'll have to do some tests to find out!

[@Francisfphoto_]

Have you compared it to the forza 200?

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

I don't own the Forza 200
