Nanlite FC500C 500W RGB-W COB LED Constant Light

Product Description

The Nanlite FC500C RGB LED Spotlight represents a breakthrough in professional lighting technology, offering the first RGBW LED in Nanlite's acclaimed FC series. This powerful 500W fixture combines exceptional brightness with full-colour versatility, delivering both traditional tungsten and daylight colour temperatures (2700-7500K) alongside access to 36,000 vivid RGB colours. With its distinctive wing-shaped housing design and remarkable 57,050 lux output at 1 metre when paired with the included reflector, the FC500C stands as Nanlite's brightest RGBW light to date.

This versatile lighting solution is perfect for professional photographers, videographers, content creators, and cinematographers who demand precise colour control and exceptional brightness. Whether you're shooting in a studio, on location, or creating content for social media, the FC500C adapts to any lighting scenario with professional-grade performance.

The FC500C solves the common challenge of needing multiple lights for different colour temperatures and creative effects. Traditional lighting setups often require separate tungsten and daylight fixtures, plus additional coloured gels for creative work. This creates complexity, increases costs, and limits creative possibilities during shoots.

With its innovative RGBW technology, the FC500C eliminates the need for multiple fixtures by providing complete colour control in a single unit. The advanced colour rendering (CRI 95, TLCI 94) ensures accurate skin tones and faithful colour reproduction, whilst the built-in lighting effects can simulate everything from candlelight to lightning storms at the touch of a button. The separated light head and power supply design maximises portability, and smart fan modes ensure quiet operation during audio recording.
