  • Best pro lights
Size: 200 Watt 5600K
It's just what I needed. They are very bright lights.

  • Amazing output for the money
Size: Forza 500
This light is a powerhouse. Nothing in this class compares to the output and the price point of the Forza. The only possible drawback is the cost of batteries if you want to take it away from mains power but a generator would solve that.

  • A portrait photographers best friend.
Size: 300 Watt 5600K
This thing is bright. I was an early adopter of LED technology and I’ve been constantly wanting more. This has satisfied that desire with room to spare. I don’t really love the Bowen’s mount, but it’s a fairly universal standard that photographers have been using for years. I use the Forza 300 with a 59” octabox and a 39” deep parabolic and it never disappoints. I also love the padded case it comes in. Not only does it make traveling easy, but there’s room in the top section for my MacBook and if you remove the reflector there’s a compartment for other assorted gear. I love my Forza 300. ... show more
