The Nanlite PavoTube II 15C is a single-tube kit that brings RGBWW color mixing and a built-in battery to compact tube lighting. It targets small and medium commercial production teams, film crews and photographers who need flexible, color-accurate tube lighting for on-location and studio work.
The PavoTube II 15C uses RGBWW color mixing technology for rich color options and improved color rendition. Its wider correlated color temperature (CCT) range of 2700–7500K and a G/M ±150 adjustment let you fine-tune white balance and green/magenta shifts to match ambient lighting or creative intent.
The 15C model delivers a measured illuminance at 5600K of 14281×@0.5m and is noted as 10% brighter than the previous version. More light output makes the tube suitable for key, fill and other primary lighting roles while maintaining the familiar power envelope of the series.
Nanlite offers the PavoTube II C series in three lengths, allowing you to mix and match tubes for a variety of shoots. Different lengths give you flexibility when lighting subjects ranging from cars and furniture to smaller objects such as toys and jewelry.
The PavoTube II 15C features an optimized two-knob user interface on the tube itself. For example, a short press of a button instantly reinstates the previous intensity setting for faster adjustments during a shoot. The menu supports quick switching between Chinese and English for easier international use.
The PavoTube II 15C includes a USB Type-C port that supports PD3.0 for charging, power supply and firmware updates. This provides an additional charging method on location when a standard adapter is not available.
Nanlite uses innovated diffusion materials to obscure the LED beads, producing a soft, even emission. This improves performance when shooting highly reflective objects and when using the tube as an in-frame practical light. Shortened end caps enlarge the usable illumination area of the tube.
PavoTube II models include an expanded library of built-in effects. The effect count increases to 15 from the previous 6, allowing you to create more complex and vivid lighting scenarios without additional gear.
For context within the C series, the PavoTube II 30C is listed with a 5600K illuminance of 19101×@0.5m and is noted as 20% brighter than the previous version. The 30C builds in a 14.8V/4400mAH lithium battery and supports PD3.0 charging (12–20V, 30W Min). It also uses a 15V/4A power adapter for direct power.

Question: What color temperatures and color adjustments does the PavoTube II 15C support?
Answer: The PavoTube II 15C supports a CCT range of 2700–7500K and includes a G/M ±150 adjustment for fine-tuning green/magenta balance, allowing accurate matching to ambient or creative lighting conditions.
Question: How can I control the light remotely on set?
Answer: You can control the tube wirelessly via built-in Bluetooth and 2.4G modules using the NANLINK app, or use wired DMX/RDM for synchronized group control in larger setups.
Question: What power and charging options are available for on-location shoots?
Answer: The PavoTube II 15C has a built-in 14.8V/2200mAH battery for portable use, includes a 15V/2A power adapter for continuous power, and supports PD3.0 charging and firmware updates via the USB Type-C port (9–20V, 20W Min).
Question: How bright is the 15C compared to the previous model and the 30C?
Answer: The 15C measures 14281×@0.5m at 5600K and is 10% brighter than its previous version. For comparison, the 30C measures 19101×@0.5m at 5600K and is 20% brighter than its previous version.
Question: Are there built-in effects and can they be used without external control?
Answer: Yes. The PavoTube II models include 15 built-in effects, up from 6 in earlier models, which you can use directly on the tube or trigger via wireless or wired control for complex lighting scenes.
Question: What physical and light-quality improvements help with shooting reflective subjects or in-frame practicals?
Answer: The tube uses innovated diffusion materials that obscure LED beads for softer, more even light. Shortened end caps enlarge the usable illumination area, improving results on highly reflective objects and in-frame practical lighting.
