Nanlite-the 2nd coming of Nanguang

[Bamboopictures]

At this year's Broadcast Asia, Nanguang, now transformed into Nanlite, made quite a splash with their new COB monolight series.Their new offerings are powered and priced to topple industry incumbents such as Came-TV and Aputure.

Up against the popular 30W Boltzen from Came-TV, NanLite unleashes its 28W offering - the LitoLite 28F at an amazing $65
Taking on the Boltzen 50W, Nanlite ups the ante with a brighter Forza 60 for $250.

Then there are the Aputure killers, the Forza 300 and Forza 500 that are in effect HMI replacements.
BHphoto has already run out of stock of these budget monsters priced to sell at only $999 and $1990 respectively.

I almost bought the Forza60 right after BCA for the small form factor.... but held back when i realised they have totally no accessories to go with it yet... no barn doors, no fresnel attachment, no softbox kit, and not even the dual F970 battery holder unit or Vmount battery plate.... End up putting the purchase on hold...sadly till now still no news of their availability.

Converting the Forza60 to a Bowens mount could be a workaround for now. This universal adapter looks promising. Not sure about the diameter of Forza60 though.

supposedly bowens mini mount i think... but I could be wrong.
