Nanlite PavoSlim 120B LED Panel

Nanlite PavoSlim 120B – Slim Bi-color LED Panel with High Output

The Nanlite PavoSlim 120B combines a slim profile with strong performance. It delivers bi-color control, accurate color rendering, and rapid installation options, while remaining compact enough for tight studio and on-location setups. The design focuses on portability, efficient heat management, and versatile power and control choices to suit film and video production needs.

Slim yet Rugged Design

The PavoSlim 120B uses a metal housing that balances slimness with durability. Nanlite designed the panel to be thin and lightweight while still withstanding regular production use. This makes the fixture suitable for small studios, low ceilings, and film and television sets where space and weight matter.

• Slim and Lightweight yet Tough (only 1.86cm thick)
• Rapid Setup within one minute
• Wireless Control Nanlink APP
• Slogan 1: Durable Metal Housing, Slim and Lightweight
• Rated Power: 150W Weight: 1.65 kg Thickness: 1.86cm

Even when fitted with the full set of diffusers and accessories, the PavoSlim remains thinner and lighter than many traditional light mats. As a result, it offers a practical solution for locations and sets that demand compact, tough lighting equipment.

Efficient Optical Design and High Output

Nanlite developed a dedicated optical system for the PavoSlim’s individual LEDs. The fixture combines efficient heat dissipation with meticulous lens design to converge light effectively. According to the manufacturer, this approach achieves up to four times the output compared to the average output of similar products.

Measured output for the PavoSlim 120B is 17620 lux at 1 meter (light only, 5600K), demonstrating the panel’s focused brightness for its size.

Rapid Deployment and Flexible Mounting

Every element of the PavoSlim 120B emphasizes fast setup. The fixture and included accessories aim to let crews install lighting quickly—often within a single minute—so you can save time on set.

The back of the fixture includes multiple sockets to support flexible installation in various production scenarios. The control unit features a quick-release plate compatible with the optional quick-release clamp used on Nanlite Forza II fixtures, making the PavoSlim adaptable to existing rigging. Furthermore, the control unit can be hung on a light stand using its strap for hands-free positioning.

Professional Control and Effects

The included power control unit offers a simple, tactile interface. Two buttons, two knobs, and a two-inch screen provide straightforward on-board operation for quick adjustments during a shoot.

For wireless control, the PavoSlim 120B has built-in 2.4G and Bluetooth modules. You can connect the fixture to the Nanlink App to manage settings remotely and integrate the panel with other Nanlite point-source and tube lights for coordinated scenes.

For larger installations, wired DMX/RDM support enables stable control within film and television standard systems. This allows the PavoSlim to be controlled alongside other fixtures on the same DMX network for synchronized effects.

The PavoSlim 120B includes 12 built-in effects that simulate real scene lighting. You can tune various parameters for each effect on-board, and obtain more customized settings via the Nanlink App or DMX/RDM control.

Color and quality metrics provided are: CRI average 95, TLCI average 97, TM-30 Rf average 95, Rg average 102, SSI 3200K 83 and SSI 5600K 73, supporting accurate reproduction for professional imaging.

Multiple Power Options and Hot Swapping

The PavoSlim 120B supports several power methods to fit indoor and outdoor use. It accepts AC power, DC power, and V-mount batteries. All supported power methods can deliver full power output, which helps maintain consistent performance under varying power conditions.

Additionally, the fixture supports hot swapping between power modes. This lets you continue shooting without interruption when changing power sources on location.

Accessories and Modularity

The PavoSlim system includes a range of accessories that improve mounting, diffusion, and coupling between panels.

Each corner of the PavoSlim has a 1/4"-20 mount. These mounts work with a magnetic base adapter that uses a 1/4"-20 thread set to speed up installation.

Extension and connection cabling are provided as follows: the fixture body includes a 0.4M DC connection cable. It connects to the control unit via a 2.6M DC connection cable, and you can add another 2.6M connection cable as an extension when needed.

Softbox options for the PavoSlim 60B/120B include foldable and compressible types to suit different diffusion and packing needs.

For larger surface area or combined configurations, the Dual-Panel Coupler Kit supports horizontal coupling to make a 2×2 array, or vertical coupling to create a 4×1 array by using the sockets on the back of the fixture. Nanlite also offers custom-made foldable softboxes and egg crates designed for both horizontal and vertical coupled setups.

Slender and Durable Case

The included carrying bag reflects Nanlite’s family design approach. It features a solid structure with internal partitions to organize components and make storage convenient. Reinforced external stitching adds durability for transport and repeated use.
