Nanlite PavoSlim 240C RGBWW LED Panel

Nanlite PavoSlim 240C RGBWW LED Panel – Foldable Slim Metal Body for Large, High-Output Soft Light

The Nanlite PavoSlim 240C delivers a large soft light source in a remarkably slim, foldable form. It uses a metal body for ruggedness, offers high luminance and accurate colour rendering, and unfolds quickly for fast setup. This makes it suitable for interviews, medium-sized studios and demanding film and television productions.

Slim yet Rugged, Compact yet Bright

The PavoSlim 240C pairs a slim profile with a durable metal construction. Although lightweight, the fixture provides class-leading output and precise colour rendering. As a result, creators gain a flexible large-area soft light that supports professional workflows without sacrificing portability.

Foldable Metal Body, Convenient Setup and High Luminance

• Rated Power 260W
• Weight 3.44kg/3.65kg
• Thickness (unfolded) 2.86cm

The metal body folds and unfolds in seconds. Mounting sockets along the rear fold combine with a universal or baby pin holder to lock the fixture securely when deployed. This quick and sturdy locking system creates a dependable structure for production use.

Therefore, you can deploy the PavoSlim 240C rapidly for interviews, medium-sized studio setups and more demanding film and television shoots that require a stable, large-area soft light.

Efficient Design, Maximum Output

Nanlite developed a dedicated optical system for the PavoSlim emitters. The design integrates efficient heat dissipation and refined optics, which together deliver up to four times the output of conventional mat lights. Consequently, the 240C achieves higher lumen performance across a larger surface while maintaining stable operation.

Rapid Deployment and Mounting Options

Every element of the PavoSlim targets fast on-set use. You can unfold, secure and lock the fixture in moments. Accessories also follow the rapid-deploy philosophy to keep rigging times short.

The back of the fixture features multiple 1/4"-20 sockets for flexible mounting. The control unit supports a quick-release plate and includes a quick-release clamp for light stands or truss mounting. Additionally, the control unit has a hand carry strap that doubles as a hanging option from a light stand.

Colour and Mode Options

The PavoSlim 240C uses RGBWW mixing and provides multiple operating modes for diverse lighting needs.

CCT Mode

• CCT Mode
• CCT Range: 2700K-7500K
• G/M adjustment: ±150
• CRI: Average 96 TLCI: Average 97
• TM-30 Rf: Average 94
• TM-30 Rg: Average 100
• SSI
• 3200K: 83
• 5600K: 74

Use CCT mode for accurate warm-to-cool white control with green/magenta trimming for fine colour correction on set.

HSI Mode

HSI mode lets you adjust hue, saturation and intensity quickly. The panel offers an option of 36,000 colours, enabling extensive creative control for coloured lighting and mood work.

RGBW Mode

RGBW mode provides separate control for red, green, blue and white channels. This allows more precise colour mixing and tonal shaping when you need granular control of the output.

Gel Mode

With 151 built-in gel emulations, the PavoSlim 240C replicates commonly used colour gels. This speeds setup because you can select a gel emulation without physically installing sheets, while still matching scene requirements or creating ambience.

Effect Mode

The fixture includes multiple pre-programmed lighting effects for film and television. On-board controls let you adjust various parameters for each effect, and the Nanlink app or DMX/RDM provide expanded customization.

Specifically, the product documentation lists 15 different film and TV lighting effects under Effect Mode. Elsewhere it states that the PavoSlim 240C is equipped with 12 effects for simulating real scene lighting effects; both sets of effect options are available for on-board adjustment and further refinement via Nanlink App and DMX/RDM.

PavoSlim 240B Comparison

• CCT Range: 2700K-6500K
• CRI: Average 95 TLCI: Average 97
• TM-30
• Rf: Average 95
• Rg: Average 102
• SSI
• 3200K: 83
• 5600K: 73

The 240B is the bi-colour variant in the PavoSlim family and provides reliable colour accuracy and a slightly different CCT range for users who prefer a bi-colour-only panel.

Professional Control Options

The included control unit exposes all settings using two buttons and two knobs, with values shown on a two-inch screen for clear feedback. Built-in 2.4G and Bluetooth modules allow wireless connection to the NANLINK 2.0 App for intelligent remote control.

Furthermore, DMX/RDM compatibility enables integration into standard film and TV lighting control systems. The PavoSlim 240C also includes LumenRadio CRMX for advanced wireless control. Together, these options let you operate the panel alone or as part of a larger, networked lighting rig.

Multiple Power Options and Hot Swapping

The PavoSlim 240C supports AC, DC and V-mount battery power. All methods can deliver full power output, making the fixture suitable for indoor and outdoor use. The unit also supports hot swapping across power types so you can keep shooting without interruption, provided you follow the power guidelines below.

Available power inputs listed in the product details:

• AC power supply
• DC power supply
• V-mount battery (14.4-14.8V, 26V)*

Power output behaviour when hot swapping:

• 14.4-14.8V V-mount battery × 1: 50% of max output,
• 14.4-14.8V V-mount battery × 2: full power output,
• 26V V-mount battery × 1: 80% of max output,
• 26V V-mount battery × 2: full power output,
• 14.4-14.8V V-mount battery × 1 and 26V V-mount battery × 1: full power output.

The fixture includes a 0.4m DC connection cable attached to the body, and a 5m DC connection cable joins the body to the control unit. Note: before hot swapping, set brightness within the power range of the selected supply method to ensure consistent operation.

Accessories, Transport and Softbox

The PavoSlim 240C ships with a foldable softbox that installs and removes quickly due to its folding design. The included Nanlite carrying bag features internal partitions and reinforced stitching for secure storage and long-term durability.
