The NANLITE FC-120C is a 120W LED spotlight featuring accurate color rendering, a variety of color output options, special effects, and more. And it weighs just 2.49 lb (1.13 kg), making it easy to transport. Let’s take a closer look.
NANLITE and their sister company, NANLUX, provide a variety of lighting solutions, including their popular Forza line of COB lights. They recently introduced the Rapid 90 and Rapid 120 Parabolic Softbox.
NANLITE’s FC-120C is a compact and portable 120W LED color spotlight. And given its size, it’s ideal for small to medium-sized crews and solo shooters. The light is versatile and can be used in various scenarios, including interviews, creative lighting setups for film and video, or photo shoots.
The LED spotlight features a wide range of color temperatures (2700K to 7500K), plus the white light can be further enhanced with ±150 Green / Magenta adjustments.
Additionally, the FC-120C has a maximum output of 12,850 lux @1m (5600K with reflector). Adding an FM mount projection attachment with a 19° lens takes the output to 46,370 lux @1m (5600K) and 19,740 lux @1m (green). The attachment and lens are sold separately.
There are four lighting modes: CCT, HSI, RGBW, and effects. These modes can be controlled with the interface found on the lamp head (1.9” display, two knobs, and two buttons) or the NANLITE App. The FC-120C also has a built-in 2.4G module for wireless control, and the light can be connected to a DMX console.
There are three power options for the FC-120C, including an adapter, V-Mount battery (14.4-14.8V), or PD adapter. It can also be used with a V-mount battery grip, which is sold separately, or the 5/8” mount on the bracket when attached to a light stand (cable-free) or used handheld.
The NANLITE FC-120C LED color spotlight’s list of features includes:
The NANLITE FC-120C is now available to order and is priced at $295.50 / €353.74. Check out NANLITE’s site for more details.
