In Part 3 of our Why You Need Powerful Lights for Filmmaking series, we're taking a look at Nanlite's Forza 720B and how this combination of power output and bi-color flexibility can help you when it comes to lighting your images.

I can't stress enough how something as seemingly simple as bi-color can add so much flexibility and ease of use to a powerful light - combined with wireless control and tools like the fresnel and projection mount, you gain much more control over your lighting and the things you can do with it, without having to deal with the hassle of color correction gels and the myriad of awkward ways to attach them.

Lights like this open out even more possibilities of smaller teams and even one-man-band productions being able to light professionally on a micro or no budget production, and make the usefulness of powerful lights more accessible and the benefits they bring more achievable!
