Designed to give you full flexibility of a bi-color output, the FC500B Bi-Color LED Spotlight from Nanlite is a compact, stylish AC-powered fixture suitable to light up most scenarios with a Kelvin range of 2700 to 6500K. With an innovative wing-shaped top housing, the FC500B stands out from other Nanlite fixtures.

This highly versatile light comes with Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz for wireless connection, DMX/RDM capability, and smart fan modes for complete control over sound.

Adjustable from 0 to 100% in 0.1% increments, users can easily fine-tune the dimming to achieve the precise intensity needed for video and photo productions. At 5600K, this light outputs an incredible 65,640 lux at 3.3' with the included reflector.
