Compact, Powerful, and Versatile Lighting
The Nanlite PavoTube II 6C 10-inch RGBWW LED Tube delivers studio-quality lighting in a compact form factor designed for creative professionals and content creators. This lightweight, portable LED tube is perfect for photographers, videographers, and filmmakers needing flexible, vibrant lighting with superb color accuracy on location or in the studio.
Compact Design Meets Portability
Measuring just 10 inches (250 mm) in length with a 1.5-inch (38 mm) diameter, the PavoTube II 6C brings the perfect balance of portability and performance. Weighing only about 260 grams (0.6 lbs), it easily fits into camera bags or cases, poised for quick setup in tight spaces, on handheld rigs, or in camera cages.
The double-side octagonal shape prevents rolling on surfaces and adds convenience for stable placement. Magnetic ends plus dual 1/4"-20 threaded mounts allow fast and secure connection to metal surfaces or standard brackets, tripods, and clamps for versatile mounting options.
High-Quality Color Performance
A key strength of the PavoTube II 6C is its wide color temperature range from 2700K warm white to 7500K cool daylight, coupled with green to magenta adjustment capability for perfect color matching. Its RGBWW lighting array allows precision color mixing, granting access to over 360 static colors with seamless saturation and hue control.
With impressive color rendering ratings — CRI 95 and TLCI 97 — the tube produces authentic, true-to-life colors that maintain natural skin tones and vivid detail in live broadcasts, product videos, and cinematic shoots.
Brightness and Smooth Dimming
Despite its size, the PavoTube delivers a powerful 520 lumens of light at 5600K, corresponding to about 183 lux at one meter. This brightness ensures it can serve as a key light, accent, or fill light, depending on the setup.
Flicker-free dimming from 0% to 100% allows precise exposure adjustments and smooth transitions ideal for video recording without unwanted flicker artifacts or banding.
Battery-Powered Freedom and USB-C Charging
An integrated 2200mAh lithium-ion battery fuels the light for around 65 minutes at full brightness, offering cable-free mobility for fast-paced shoots, run-and-gun video, and outdoor productions.
Charging through USB-C ensures compatibility with common power banks, wall adapters, and laptops, enabling easy recharging anywhere. The light supports use while charging, preventing workflow interruptions during critical sessions.
Dynamic Lighting Effects and Modes
The PavoTube II 6C is equipped with 15 pre-programmed lighting effects ready at the press of a button. These creative effects include flickering candlelight, police sirens, lightning storms, SOS signals, explosions, flashes, welding, and more. This feature enhances storytelling, music video production, and atmospheric effects without extra lighting gear.
Users can cycle through the spectrum of colors with adjustable speed or choose predetermined colors for static ambiance.
Intuitive Controls and Wireless Operation
An OLED screen coupled with simple button controls makes mode switching and parameter adjustments effortless. The menu system is user-friendly and responsive even in hectic shoot environments.
For advanced control, the PavoTube II 6C integrates 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity, compatible with optional Nanlite WS-RC remotes or Nanlink Wi-Fi controllers that enable app-based control (iOS/Android). This wireless integration facilitates multi-light synchronization and remote management, perfect for complex lighting setups.
Mounting and Accessories
Each tube features two 1/4"-20 threaded mounting points plus integrated magnets to maximize placement options. Metal mounting plates with adhesive backings are included, enabling quick attachment to non-metal surfaces.
A wrist strap and padded carrying case add to ease of use and transport, making the PavoTube II 6C a versatile lighting tool for diverse scenarios.
