Nanlite PavoTube 30C 4 ft RGBW LED Tube with Internal Battery 2 Light Kit
Professional Portable Lighting with Unlimited Creativity
The Nanlite PavoTube 30C 2 Light Kit includes two 4-foot RGBW LED tubes featuring built-in rechargeable batteries and professional-quality lighting attributes. This kit is tailored for photographers, filmmakers, and content creators seeking versatile, high-output, highly controllable, and portable lighting for studio or location use.
Design and Portability
Each PavoTube 30C tube measures 4 feet in length and has a slim 1.9-inch diameter, making them easy to fit in tight spaces, vehicles, or anywhere that traditional bulky lights might struggle. The compact, lightweight design allows fast deployment and portable use.
The tubes come with transparent mounting clips with 1/4"-20 receivers, steel safety cables for secure installation, and a padded carrying bag for transport. The kit enhances mobility without sacrificing functionality, allowing filmmakers to grab, mount, and shoot efficiently.
Superior Color Quality and Range
The PavoTube 30C offers an expansive color temperature range between 2700K warm amber to 7500K crisp daylight, enabling seamless matching to ambient lighting or creative adjustments to set mood and atmosphere.
The RGBW configuration provides full hue, saturation, and brightness control across the visible spectrum. This feature gives users the power to select millions of colors and designer effects, perfect for ambient backlights, accents, or stylized illumination.
Rated at CRI 97 and TLCI 98, it assures exceptional color fidelity and natural skin tone reproduction, critical for professional photography, video, and broadcast applications.
Brightness and Lighting Modes
With an output of 647 lux (60 foot-candles) at 1 meter on 5600K, the tubes provide ample illumination for multiple use cases, including key, fill, and accent lighting.
The lighting system supports 0-100% smooth dimming and offers advanced lighting modes like CCT (Correlated Color Temperature), HSI (Hue, Saturation, Intensity), and 15 pre-programmed special effects such as fire, lightning, TV, and more.
Battery and Power
Each LED tube has an integrated 4400mAh lithium-ion battery that offers approximately 2.5 hours of runtime at full brightness, with longer runtimes available at lower brightness levels—up to 29 hours at 1%.
Charging is convenient through USB-C Power Delivery 3.0 or an AC power adapter included in the kit, meaning powering the lights on location is hassle-free without the need for bulky external batteries.
For extended sessions, optional external battery packs with D-Tap ports can be connected, or lights can be run continuously on AC power.
User Control and Connectivity
The tubes feature intuitive onboard controls with an OLED screen and easy-access knobs to adjust brightness, color temperature, and effects. These controls include a new Lock button to prevent accidental changes during shoots.
For wireless control, the lights offer:
-
Bluetooth connectivity for smartphone control via the Nanlite Nanlink App (iOS and Android).
-
2.4 GHz wireless for remote or transmitter box control.
-
