Nanlite PavoTube T8-7X – 1-meter RGBWW tube with pixel effects and slim built-in battery

The Nanlite PavoTube T8-7X is a versatile 1-meter LED pixel tube designed for filmmakers, photographers and content creators. It delivers RGBWW color mixing, pixel-based animated effects, and a slim form factor that makes it useful on set, on stage, and out in the field. Use it for mood lighting, light painting, stage decoration, or as an in-frame practical fixture.

Creative pixel effects and color control

The T8-7X provides lively pixel effects that add motion and animation beyond standard fades and color changes. These pixel effects let you build custom designs and visual treatments for specific scenes. In addition, the tube offers RGBWW color mixing with up to 36,000 color options so you can achieve precise hues and creative looks.

Accurate color and flexible white tuning

Nanlite built the PavoTube T8-7X to deliver high color accuracy for reliable results. It achieves an average CRI of 96 and a TLCI of 97. The unit also supports a wide correlated color temperature (CCT) range from 2700K to 7500K and includes green/magenta (G/M) adjustment. As a result, you can blend the tube naturally into different shooting environments and match other fixtures when needed.

Lightweight, slim design and practical use

At a weight of 280g, the T8-7X remains easy to handle for prolonged light painting sessions and quick repositioning on set. Its slim T8 body fits into tight spaces where larger fixtures cannot, making it a practical choice for in-frame use and creative setups in cramped environments. It can also serve as an eye-catching prop in stage performances.

Powering and connection options

The PavoTube T8-7X offers multiple powering solutions. A slim built-in battery enables cable-free operation for on-location shooting. For extended run times and added control, the tube includes a standard USB-C port that allows connection to the Nanlite WC-USBC-C1 Wire Controller for external battery power and additional wired controls.

Control methods and usability

Control and communication are flexible and user-friendly. The tube supports on-board controls, wired control via the wire controller, and wireless control through built-in Bluetooth. Use the NANLINK mobile app to operate the tube remotely and to customize and save your own effects as presets. The intuitive interface makes it straightforward to adjust dimming, CCT, and hue settings.
