Gaffer & Gear 212 - Forza 300 II & 300B II 

You're so right about how much lighting technology has changed over the last few years. Thanks for guiding us through all this new kit.

I literally went to a local retailer today to buy the B version. I ended up buying another 150B and one of the new 60B mkII lights. Guess I'll be headed back over there tomorrow... Great overview. Thanks Andrew.

Thank you Andrew for all your effort. Great run down on these new lines. Fair and honest. They are great lights for sure!

The Green and Magenta Adjustment is absolutely incredible. That Nanlite implemented green and magenta emitters in Mono and bicolor lights is something I never could imagined before. This feature was long in my wishlist because the DUV of nearly every video light I used was never to my satisfaction, almost always too low (magenta). Filtering with gels was always a tradeoff due to the light loss.I will test one unit out and then I will buy 8 units if I am happy after testing 🙂 The only thing I would wish in the future is, that they use better LED's with higher CRI (no blue peak) like the ones Anglerfish iFootage lights use. Then they would be perfect!

Amazing review, as usual. I'm hoping that Nanlite releases a similarly equipped Forza 150B II and/or Forza 200B II.

Thanks for the review! I’m glad to see improvements with the controller and the new controller stand grip!

Thanks for yet another thorough and honest review. I believe these lights can run on both 14.4V and 14.8V 12A V-Mount batteries, not just 14.8V like you said at 8:37. I haven't tested this out, though.

Thank you sir. Really appreciate your videos and sharing so much knowledge. Thank you.

Great review Andrew. I Really like the idea of adding plus and minus green to a bi color. Keeps carrying gels down to a minimum. Would buy the Bi-Color?

Dear Andrew, i have to stop watching your reviews. Every 4th episode tempts me to buy new lamps. After watching this episode I will be selling my 2 Aputure LS300D and replace them with 2 of the Forza 300B II. And that's after I've 2 Forza 720Bs in my equipment since September. By the way, the new and almost noiseless Anker powerhouse 767 powers the 720B at full output for 2 hours and 20 minutes. Great for Outdoor. A big thank you for all your reviews over the last few years. I really appreciate that!

Thanks Andrew. I think the lux you got for the 300B II @3m 5600K no modifier may be off.

Nice review. Can't wait to buy it!

Tks, very good and detailed review!

Here watching again to help the view count.

very good review! how about the fan noise?

Do you think 300w is power enough for some outdoors works? Or maybe nanlite 500b ii?

does it not come with the stand clamps like the 300's?

Is a review of the new forza 500 ii and 500b coming ?

Well, HMI's now retired, within next year or so you may be retiring your current slate of LEDs. Solid state cooling is showing up in the PC world, eliminates fan cooling AND are much, much more energy efficient AND modules are much, much more compact. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YGxTnGEAx3E.html Thanks for your reviews, Andrew!

Would you recommend these over Aputure’s 300x?

Can anyone recommend a good Discord server for gaffers?

I'm guessing the 300b no modifier lux @3m 5600k is actually 2590 lux?

Hey Andrew, just bought one and the light still swivels on a c-stand when I tighten the screw, any idea why that could be?
