It has easy-to-use onboard controls, Bluetooth for the free NANLINK app for iOS and Android, and 2.4G for more wireless control options. A locking, metal 3.5mm port even lets you control with DMX/RDM.

The head of the FC-500B and the power supply are separate, so each can be as lightweight as possible. The power supply has a safety strap to hang it on a light stand, and a quick-release plate is provided for more mounting options (clamp sold separately, SKU# ASCPQRFZ).

A wide range of light modifiers are compatible with its standard Bowens Mount, and an integrated umbrella holder provides more light-shaping options. The FC-500B is powerful, versatile, accurate, and easy to use. Plus, it's always ready to travel in the included case.

It's covered by a 2-year warranty that extends to 3 years with online registration, and it's stocked, supported, and serviced by our responsive team in the USA.

Bi-Color with a Vibe
Capable of delivering impressive brightness in a wide range of useful color temperatures, the Nanlite FC-500B makes your on-camera subjects look their best—while the physical design adds its own vibe to your set.

Lighting Made Easy
With a 2-inch screen and easy-to-master controls, the FC-500B helps you achieve professional-looking results quickly. Pressing the right knob hops to popular color temperatures, and Bluetooth lets you take command with your phone. Smart fan modes give you total control over on-set sound. It has 12 built-in effects and you can make your own and save them as presets in the app.

Advanced Details
Rapidly adjust the angle of the beam with its 360° rotating yoke and single-sided, stepless lock. Maximum Output Mode unleashes full power, and Constant Output Mode keeps the same intensity when you change color temperatures. A USB port allows future firmware updates so new features can be added.

Travel Ready
A rolling, padded case is included with the FC-500B that holds everything, so you can safely travel and store when not in use. The FC-500B is AC-powered, and the FC PowerController (sold separately) lets you run in the field on battery power and acts as a dual V-Mount battery charger.

Quality Construction
Like all Nanlite products, the FC-500B is built to high standards throughout and it's the little details, like the glass-protected light source, that make a big difference in long-term reliability.
