Nanlite Pavotube II 30C LED RGBWW Tube Light 1 Light Kit

NANLITE PavoTube II 30C LED RGBWW Tube Light 1 Light Kit – RGBWW color mixing and versatile power options

The NANLITE PavoTube II series opens wider creative possibilities for filmmakers, photographers and production teams. This description focuses on the PavoTube II 30C kit while referencing features shared across the PavoTube II 15C and 30C models. The lights use RGBWW color mixing and offer multiple power, control and mounting options to suit varied shooting scenarios.

Revolving colors and improved color rendition

NANLITE designed the PavoTube II 15C and 30C to use RGBWW color mixing technology. As a result, the tubes deliver improved color rendition and accurate color reproduction, allowing you to realize vivid and subtle color looks. In practice, this helps you reproduce scenes with more faithful hues and match other fixtures more easily.

Wider color temperature range and green/magenta control

The PavoTube II series provides a broad correlated color temperature range and fine G/M adjustment for practical color matching. Specifically, the tubes offer a CCT range of 2700–7500K and allow G/M adjustment up to ±150. This range and the green/magenta control give you more flexibility to adapt to different times of day and varied lighting environments.

Bright output with higher illuminance

NANLITE increased light efficiency in the PavoTube II models while keeping power consumption in check. Consequently, you get more usable light for key, fill and other applications.

• PavoTube II 15C illuminance level, 5600K: 14281×@0.5m — 10% brighter than previous version.
• PavoTube II 30C illuminance level, 5600K: 19101×@0.5m — 20% brighter than previous version.

These stated illuminance figures indicate the relative improvement in output compared to earlier models and help you plan when you need stronger tube output on set.

Different sizes for flexible shooting

The PavoTube II C series comes in three available lengths. Therefore, you can mix and match tube sizes to suit diverse subjects and framing needs. For example, you can properly illuminate subjects ranging from cars and furniture to toys and jewelry by combining tubes in different lengths. This modular approach expands your creative options on location or in the studio.

Intuitive, straightforward onboard operation

NANLITE improved the on-board controls for the PavoTube II 15C and 30C. The units use a simplified two-knob interface that makes adjustments faster and more intuitive. For instance, a short press of a button restores the previous intensity setting instantly, helping you return to a prior light level without menu diving. In addition, the menu supports swift switching between Chinese and English, which eases operation for users in different regions.

Comprehensive connectivity and wireless control

The PavoTube II 15C/30C include multiple control options for both wireless and wired workflows. Built-in Bluetooth and 2.4G modules let you control the tubes using the NANLINK app. The app enables customization of multiple parameters under CCT, HSI and FX modes for intelligent wireless control. At the same time, the tubes support wired DMX/RDM for group control in professional rigging scenarios, which is useful when creating synchronized lighting effects across multiple fixtures.

Power and charging options

The PavoTube II series supports several power solutions to suit on-location and studio work. Each model offers both internal battery and external power options, plus PD3.0 support via USB Type-C for charging, power supplying and firmware updates.

• Built-in battery: PavoTube II 15C includes a 14.8V/2200mAH lithium battery; PavoTube II 30C includes a 14.8V/4400mAH lithium battery. These built-in batteries let you create away from mains power.
• AC adapters: The PavoTube II 15C and 30C can be powered by their included power adapters, specified as 15V/2A and 15V/4A respectively.
• PD3.0 via USB-C: The PD3.0 port provides an alternative way to charge and power the tubes and supports firmware updates. PavoTube II 15C supports PD3.0 (9–20V) with a 20W minimum charging requirement. PavoTube II 30C supports PD3.0 (12–20V) with a 30W minimum charging requirement.

Structure, diffusion and in-frame performance

NANLITE improved the optical structure and diffusion materials on the PavoTube II series. The LED beads are obscured by innovated diffusion materials to create a softer and more even emission. This design enhances performance when shooting highly reflective objects and when using the tubes as in-frame practical lights. In addition, shortened caps at both ends enlarge the illumination area.

Effects and creative scenarios

The PavoTube II models include a broad selection of built-in effects. NANLITE increased the number of built-in effects to 15, up from 6 in earlier models. By using these upgraded effects across multiple tubes, you can create vivid and complex lighting scenarios that would be difficult to reproduce otherwise.

Accessories and light shaping

NANLITE offers a range of accessories that expand light-shaping possibilities for the PavoTube II 15C/30C. Examples include barndoors, eggcrates, clips and floor stands designed for these tubes. In practice, these accessories help you control spill, shape beams and position tubes securely. NANLITE notes that more accessories will be added to the collection in the future.

Smart FAQ

Question: What power options can I use with the PavoTube II 30C kit?
Answer: You can use the built-in 14.8V/4400mAH lithium battery, the included 15V/4A AC adapter, or PD3.0 power via the USB-C port (30C supports PD3.0 12–20V with a 30W minimum). These options let you work on location or in the studio depending on available power.

Question: How do I control the tubes remotely?
Answer: The tubes include built-in Bluetooth and 2.4G modules and work with the NANLINK app for wireless control. For wired group control, the tubes support DMX and RDM, which helps when synchronizing multiple fixtures.
