The Nanlite FC-500C is an RGBW LED spotlight that provides a significant amount of light output in 36,000 colors and a wide CCT range of 2700K-7500K. A power supply is included to run on a standard AC outlet, and the separately available FC PowerController allows you to operate the light from V-Mount batteries in the field. FC-500C has easy-to-use onboard controls, Bluetooth control via the free NANLINK app for iOS and Android, 2.4G for more wireless control options, and a locking, metal DMX/RDM port for advanced control.

The FC-500C produces 57050 lux (5300 fc) at 1-metre with the included reflector. You can easily adjust the dimming from 0 to 100% in 0.1% increments, and the high SSI ratings of 84 (3200K) and 71 (5600K), and CRI of 95 and TLCI of 94 ensure your colors will always be accurate. It has green-to-magenta adjustment of +/- 150 to seamlessly blend with other lights. The included power supply has a strap to hang on a light stand, and a quick-release plate is provided for using the separately available ASCPQRFZ clamp. A wide range of light modifiers are compatible with its standard Bowens Mount, and an integrated umbrella mount provides more light-shaping options. The FC-500C is powerful, colorful, versatile, accurate, easy to use, and always ready to travel in the included hard-foam case.

500 WATTS OF COLOR

The FC-500C is the brightest Nanlite light with RGB color. Either used solo, or with other Nanlite lights, or with light shaping tools such as the PJ-BM Projection Attachment (sold separately) for making textures and sculpting light, the FC-500C opens up new creative options.

TRAVEL CASE

A crushproof, shockproof, carry case is included, so you can safely travel and store the FC-500C when not in use. The FC-500C is mains-powered but you can also use V-Mount batteries for on location shoots using the separately available FC PowerController.

ACCURATE COLOUR

The color LEDS on FC-500C make more features possible, like 151 gel presets, HSI Mode, and RGBW Mode where you control red, green, blue, and white separately. You can have confidence in the colour accuracy of the FC-500C with SSI ratings of 84 (3200K) and 71 (5600K), CRI of 95 and TLCI of 94, and TM-30 of Rf Average 92 and Rg Average 100.

EASE OF USE

With a 2-inch screen and easy-to-master controls, the FC-500C helps you create professional-looking results quickly. Pressing the right knob jumps between popular color temperatures or hues, and pressing the left knob instantly drops outut to 0.0% and pressing again brings you back to your previous brightness setting. Bluetooth lets you control the FC-500C with your phone or tablet.

ADVANCED DETAILS

Rapidly adjust the angle of the beam with its 360° rotating yoke and single-sided, stepless lock. Smart fan modes give you total control over on-set sound. It has 15 built-in special effects, plus you can make your own and save them as presets in the app. A USB port allows future firmware updates so new features can be added, and can also power external DMX receivers (sold separately).

QUALITY THROUGHOUT

Like all Nanlite products, the FC-500C is built to high standardssuch as the glass-protected light source, that make a big difference in long-term reliability. The built-in 2.4G lets you use the WS-RC-C2 Handheld Remote when you'd rather not use your phone to control, and the WS-TB-1 Transmitter Box lets you control larger setups (both sold separately).

DESIGNED AND MADE AT NANLITE

One important distinction that makes Nanlite stand out is that Nanlite design, build, and test every single light in their own facility. This gives Nanlite the best possible control over Quality Assurance.

Nanlite is a family-owned business that incorporates environmentally friendly practices, and the whole team are passionate about image making and creativity.
