The Nanlite PJ-FMM is the compact FM-mount projection system for the Forza 60-class family. It combines four internal framing shutters with interchangeable 19° and 36° lenses, gobo frames and a gel frame. It is not the Bowens-mount PJ-BM, and a Bowens adapter does not make the PJ-FMM compatible with ordinary Bowens heads.

19° or 36°?
The 19° lens is the long-throw option: it produces a smaller field and concentrates more output. The 36° lens covers more wall area in a short room. Both use the same shutter and gobo system. The separately sold iris controls the diameter of a circular field; it does not replace the shutters when a rectangular cut is required.
Measured output
Nanlite’s Forza 60 II measurements below are at 5600 K with the fixture at full output. They describe these exact lens configurations, so the table is useful. A generic calculator is not included because the result changes with the selected fixture and lens.
| Distance | PJ-FMM 19° | PJ-FMM 36° |
|---|---|---|
| 1 m | 60,000 lux / 5,574 fc | 23,790 lux / 2,210 fc |
| 2 m | 10,770 lux / 1,001 fc | 4,498 lux / 418 fc |
| 3 m | 4,469 lux / 415 fc | 1,850 lux / 172 fc |
On-set use
Mount the projector directly to the fixture’s FM interface, support the attachment on its yoke, then choose lens, shutter or gobo control. Focus after the projector and pattern are fully seated. Do not treat the FM-to-Bowens adapter as a compatibility route for this optical attachment.
Rental and used-package checks
- Confirm the case contains both the 19° and 36° lenses, not only the housing.
- Check for all four shutters, four gobos, both gobo frames and the gel frame.
- Ask whether the optional PJFMMAI iris is included; it is not part of the standard kit.
- Inspect both lenses for haze, scratches and loose barrels, and test focus travel.
- Confirm the package is PJ-FMM/FM mount, not the larger PJ-BM/Bowens system.
