Nanlite FC-500C Full Colour RGB LED spotlight

The Nanlite FC500C RGB LED Spotlight is the first RGBW LED in the FC line, offering exceptional versatility and full-colour control. With a powerful 500W output, it delivers a Kelvin range of 2700 to 7500K and 36,000 vivid colours for extensive RGB lighting options. Like its bi-colour counterpart, the FC500C features a compact, stylish design with Nanlite’s signature wing-shaped top housing. It operates on AC power but can also run on optional V-mount batteries when paired with the separately available FC power controller. As Nanlite’s brightest RGBW light, it provides outstanding light output with a CRI of 95 and a TLCI of 94, ensuring accurate colour reproduction. Advanced yet intuitive onboard and remote controls make it easy to use for any creative setup.

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. The FC500C’s light head is conveniently separated from the included power supply, so each can be as lightweight as possible.

Bright Light Output

At 5600K, this light outputs an incredible 57,050 lux at 3.3′ with the included reflector. Adjustable from 0 to 100% in 0.1% increments, it allows users to easily fine-tune the dimming to achieve the precise intensity needed for video and photo productions.

RGBW Capability

Other benefits are green-to-magenta shift by +/- 150, 151 gel presets, HSI mode, and an RGBW mode that allows individual control of red, green, blue, and white colours.

Faithful Colour Reproduction

CRI of 95, TLCI of 94, SSI of 84 (3200K), and SSI of 71 (5600K) are indicators of advanced colour rendering. Other scores are TM-30 (Rf) of 92 and TM-30 (Rg) of 100. These high numbers ensure optimised skin tones and accurate colours for your images.

Multiple Lighting Effects

With built-in lighting effects, the FC500C makes it easy to imitate lighting scenarios that can otherwise be tricky to recreate. At the touch of a button, you can simulate different practical effects, such as HUE loop, CCT loop, INT loop, flash, pulse, storm, police car, TV, paparazzi, candle/fire, disco, bad bulb, fireworks, explosion, and welding.

Multiple Control Options

For precision control, intuitive local knobs and a 2″ screen are available, but the FC500C can also be controlled remotely using your smartphone.

The fixture can also be remotely controlled on a 2.4 GHz connection using the separately available WS-TB-1 transmitter or WS-RC-C2 remote control

Locking metal 3.5mm DMX/RDM port facilitates advanced control and enables the FC500C to be quickly adopted into any DMX-controlled environment

AC Operation

Thanks to its included 100 to 240 VAC power supply, the FC500C is conveniently ready to work plugged into a standard AC outlet. The power supply also has a safety strap for hanging it on a separately available light stand.

Optional Battery Power

With the separately available FC power controller and optional V-mount batteries, the FC500C is also suitable for reliable work in the field.

Smart Fan Modes

The light offers smart fan modes to suit your sound requirements on-set, avoiding interference with audio recording.

Easy Positioning Yoke

The FC500C ships with a yoke with a one-sided lock that allows 360° rotation for a greater tilting range. A 5/8″ receiver accepts industry-standard light stands, and the light’s Bowens mount is widely compatible with multiple light modifiers.

Bowens Mount

By utilising the near-universal Bowens-style light modifier mount and incorporating an umbrella holder, the FC500C is compatible with an extensive selection of light modifiers.

Travel-Ready Case

A hard foam carry case with efficient shock protection is included, so you can safely transport and store your light when not used.
