Nanlite FC-120C LED RGBW Spotlight

FC-120C | Full-Colour LED Spotlight

The Nanlite FC-120C is a surprisingly compact and lightweight LED spotlight that provides full RGB colour and a wide CCT range of 2700K–7500K, and even though it's small and light, it cranks out 12850 lux, 1193 fc @1M 5600K with included reflector. FC-120C runs on batteries, powerbanks, or AC and delivers highly accurate light and a versatile array of control methods: onboard, Bluetooth, 2.4G, and DMX/RDM. Creators always want their lights to be as bright as possible while still being small and easy to hide behind in-frame objects, and also be affordable. The FC-120C fills this role perfectly. It's easy to use for complete beginners and also provides advanced features. A latching hard-foam case is included that holds the FC-120C, AC power adapter, 45° reflector, and Bowens-Mount adapter.

Value, Colour, and Power

The FC-120C provides the same high-quality light, control options, and advanced functions as Nanlite's top-of-the-line Forza series. The FC-Series are more affordable because they're constructed with rugged composite plastics, where Forza is made with metal and carbon fiber. The FC-120C is a top-tier light at an entry-level price that delivers versatile colours and lots of output for its compact size.

Create Anywhere

An AC adapter is included to run the FC-120C continuously, and a V-Mount Battery Handgrip is sold separately that lets you operate in the field. Space is provided in the included hard-foam case for this handgrip, which can be handheld, rested upright on surfaces, and mounted on stands. A USB-C port allows you to run on powerbanks and chargers that support PD 3.0 and 2.0 (30W or higher). When it comes to power, FC-120C is all about versatility and convenience.

Bi-Colour Accuracy

Quickly adjust the colour temperature from 2700K-7500K with a dedicated knob and blend with other light sources with a G/M adjustment of +/- 150. Like all Nanlite fixtures, the FC-120C delivers flicker-free performance and high colour accuracy with an SSI of 82 (3200K) and 70 (5600K), CRI of average 95 and TLCI of average 94. FC-120C features a glass-protected COB light source to ensure a longer product lifecycle.

4 Control Options

Control dimming, CCT, colour, and more with two easy-to-use knobs, buttons, and a rear-facing screen. Control with your phone or tablet through Bluetooth and the free NANLINK app. Want to use your mobile devices for something else? No problem, control with the WS-RC-C2 Handheld Remote (sold separately) through built-in 2.4G. A locking metal DMX/RDM port is provided for advanced control, and the USB-C port can power DMX receivers (sold separately).

Small Mount, Big Ecosystem

One of the reasons the FC-120C can be so compact is that it has the FM Mount. The nicely constructed 45° Reflector utilizes this mount, and provides smooth, even light. There are many compact light modifiers available for FM Mount that are also lightweight, like the FL-11 Fresnel, FMM softboxes, and PJ-FMM Projection Attachments (all sold separately). The included Bowens adapter opens up a world of light-modifier compatibility. There's even an integrated umbrella mount.

Hollywood Connections

The FC-120C may be an entry-level light, but it shares a direct family lineage with higher-end Forza and Nanlux fixtures that are used constantly by major movie makers and elite professional photographers. Learn how to control the FC-120C with the NANLINK app and the same method applies to controlling industry-leading instruments like the Nanlux 2400B.

Made at Nanlite

One important distinction that makes Nanlite stand out is that they design, build, and test every single light in Nanlite's facility. This gives them the best possible control over Quality Assurance. They're a family-owned business that cares about the environment and they're filled with people who are passionate about image making and creativity.
