Nanlite PavoTube II 6C 10in 6W RGBWW LED Tube with Internal Battery
Compact Versatile Lighting for Creative Professionals
The Nanlite PavoTube II 6C is a compact 10-inch RGBWW LED tube light that packs professional-level features in a portable and easy-to-handle form factor. Designed specifically for photographers, videographers, and creative professionals who require high-quality, color-accurate, and flexible lighting, this tube is perfect for location shooting, studio setups, vlogging, or product photography.
Compact and Practical Design
The PavoTube II 6C measures just 10 inches (250 mm) long with a diameter of 1.5 inches (38 mm), making it small enough to carry easily and fit in tight shooting environments. It weighs approximately 260 grams (9.2 ounces), which adds to its portability and ease of use.
Its body is designed with octagonal edges on the backside to prevent rolling and provide stable placement on flat surfaces. The tube features two integrated magnets at both ends, allowing quick attachment to metal surfaces, or it can be mounted using the standard 1/4"-20 threaded mount points on either end, compatible with common tripod and clamp systems.
Included are metal plates with adhesive backing for use on non-magnetic surfaces, expanding mounting flexibility.
Superior Color Fidelity and Control
The light offers a wide adjustable color temperature range between 2700K (warm light) and 7500K (cool daylight) with additional green-magenta adjustment for precise color balancing. This makes it easy to match ambient lighting and accentuate subjects naturally or creatively.
With a high Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 95 and a TLCI rating of 97, the PavoTube II 6C renders colors and skin tones exceptionally accurately, essential for professional imaging, live broadcasts, and studio work.
Its RGBWW LEDs provide full hue, saturation, and brightness control with access to over 36,000 colors, allowing users to customize lighting scenes or create vibrant artistic effects. This extended color control can be smoothly fine-tuned for a wide variety of uses.
Power and Battery Life
Powered by an internal 2200mAh lithium-ion battery, the PavoTube II 6C can run for approximately 65 minutes at full brightness without needing an external power source, making it highly versatile for mobile or off-grid use.
Charging is done via USB-C for convenient connection to wall adapters, power banks, or USB devices. The tube can also operate while charging, ensuring no downtime during important shoots.
Lighting Performance
The tube's maximum output is rated at 6 watts, producing approximately 520 lumens and about 183 lux at 1 meter distance (at 5600K). The lighting is flicker-free across the 0-100% dimming range, offering seamless control of intensity without introducing video artifacts.
Built-In Special Effects and Modes
The PavoTube II 6C comes preloaded with 15 special lighting effects, including options such as police car lights, candlelight flicker, lightning storm, paparazzi flashes, fire simulation, bad bulb effects, and more. These effects add instant practical, cinematic lighting options to enrich storytelling without additional equipment.
User Interface and Wireless Control
The light features a clear OLED display and a minimalistic control panel with buttons for navigating between modes (CCT, HSI, Effects). Dedicated buttons adjust settings such as brightness, hue, and saturation efficiently.
Wireless control is also supported via Bluetooth with the Nanlink app for iOS and Android, allowing remote editing of all settings and group control of multiple lights.
For professional setups, it supports 2.4 GHz radio remote control (optional accessory) and DMX/RDM integration for full on-set compatibility.
Accessories and Usage Scenarios
Included in the package are a wrist strap for handheld use, a USB charging cable, metal mounting plates for non-magnetic surfaces, and a protective padded bag for safer transport.
