Nanlite PavoSlim 120C RGBWW LED Panel

Nanlite PavoSlim 120C RGBWW LED Panel – Slim, Lightweight and High Luminance

The Nanlite PavoSlim 120C combines a slim, metal-housed design with high luminance and accurate color rendering. It delivers a compact, rugged LED panel that creators can set up quickly and use on a wide range of film and studio applications.

Design and Build

The PavoSlim 120C uses a durable metal housing that balances slimness with toughness. Despite its thin profile, the fixture maintains efficient heat dissipation thanks to the metal construction and its dedicated optical lens system. Because of this design, the light remains thinner and lighter than many traditional light mats while staying rugged enough for studio and on-set use.

Setup emphasizes speed and convenience. The panel and its accessories enable rapid deployment, and Nanlite states that the complete installation can be finished within one minute. The included quick-release clamp and a compatible quick-release plate let you mount the control unit to light stands or trusses, and the control unit can also hang from a stand by its strap.

Output and Optical Performance

Nanlite engineered a dedicated optical system for each LED chip. By pairing efficient heat dissipation with meticulous optical design, the PavoSlim achieves significantly higher output compared to many similar products. According to the manufacturer, the optical system produces up to four times the output of the average similar panel.

Measured output for the 120C is 12830 lux at 1 meter (light only, 5600K), showing the panel’s strong luminance for its size.

Color Fidelity and Modes

The PavoSlim 120C uses RGBWW color mixing to provide a wide range of color and white light options. The panel supports multiple operating modes so you can match scene requirements quickly and precisely.

• CCT Mode: 2700K–7500K with G/M ±150. Average CRI 96 and average TLCI 97. TM-30: Rf average 94, Rg average 100. SSI: 3200K = 83, 5600K = 74.
• HSI Mode: Adjust hue, saturation and intensity across a broad color range with 36,000 available colors.
• RGBW Mode: Four separate channels for red, green, blue and white for finer color control.
• Gel Mode: 151 built-in gels to replicate common gel colors without physical gels.
• Effect Mode: 15 built-in effects with adjustable parameters on-board and expanded customization via apps and DMX/RDM.

Controls and Connectivity

The PavoSlim 120C ships with a compact control unit that features two buttons, two knobs and a two-inch display. The unit provides straightforward, tactile control on set.

For wireless control, the fixture includes built-in 2.4G and Bluetooth modules and works with the Nanlink App. It also supports LumenRadio CRMX for wireless DMX/RDM reception. For wired setups, the PavoSlim offers DMX/RDM compatibility so you can integrate it into standard film and television control systems.

Rapid Deployment Features

The light and its accessories focus on quick setup and breakdown. Softboxes use an innovative compression design for fast assembly. The fixture rear features multiple sockets for flexible installation, and the control unit’s quick-release plate is compatible with the included quick-release clamp—also used on the Forza II series—so you can move between stands and trusses efficiently.

Power Options and Hot-Swap Capability

The PavoSlim 120C supports several power-supply methods and allows hot swapping between sources to keep shoots uninterrupted. Supported power options include:

• AC power supply
• DC power supply
• 14.4–14.8V V-mount battery
• 26V V-mount battery

Included Accessories and Kits

Nanlite supplies a range of accessories to suit different shooting scenarios. The panel includes magnetic base adapters that fit each corner with a 1/4"-20 thread set, an extension cable, and foldable/compressible softbox options. For larger spreads or paired setups, there is a dual-panel coupler kit available for the 120C.

The carrying bag is slender and durable, with internal partitions and reinforced stitching to organize the fixture and accessories while providing protection in transport.
