Nanlite is introducing the new Nanlite PavoTube II 6XR. Designed as a go-anywhere full-color LED tube light with pixel effects and professional wireless control, it measures 25cm long it has 8 individually controllable pixels. It is designed for high output and accuracy, with an internal battery and PD 3.0 power input, as well as Bluetooth, DMX/RDM and LumenRadio CRMX control.
Soft Touch Lighting
The PavoTube II 6XR incorporates Nanlite’s RGBWW color mixing technology, providing a color temperature range of 2700K to 12000K and ±150 green/magenta adjustment. It delivers output 562 lux@0.5m(5600K) coupled with high accuracy. The PavoTube II 6XR features a newly designed diffuser that renders the light softer and more uniform, to elegantly wrap around the subject. It offers versatility, excelling as a fill light to enhance close-up shots and refine details, as well as a practical light source in medium to large scenes, where it can effectively illuminate specific areas.
Optimized White Light Accuracy
Enhanced white light correction is achieved through Nanlite’s advanced RGBWW color mixing technology. This technology utilizes the RGB chips in the PavoTube II 6XR to generate of accurate representations of different white light sources.
Flowing with 8 Controllable Pixels
Each PavoTube II 6XR features 8 controllable pixels within its 22.5cm long illuminated area. Users can control pixel effects and adjust various parameters directly on the light, or via the Nanlink App 2.0. The light also gains the flexibility to independently program each pixel through DMX/RDM or LumenRadio CRMX, enhancing the ability to create customized effects in a professional lighting control setup.
Versatile Creativity
The PavoTube II 6XR is equipped with five lighting modes for creativity, including CCT, HSI, gel, lighting effects, and pixel effects, each offering extensive options and color accuracy. The 10 built-in pixel effects allow for multi-pixel sync control, making it easier to create dynamically flowing light effects. The PavoTube II 6XR can transform scenes, whether it’s through its continuous output of cool or warm light, colour light, or the with special effects and pixel effects.
Setup
The PavoTube II 6XR is a standard T12 tube size and weighs 270g, designed to have a comfortable grip with no noticeable heaviness even during extended use. The back of the fixture has a polygonal design for stability, allowing it to be placed flat surfaces without the need for additional support or the fear of it rolling away. Built-in magnets at both ends enable direct attachment to magnetic surfaces. Alternatively, the included iron plates can be used for attachment to other surfaces.
Multiple Control Options
The PavoTube II 6XR offers versatile control options. It can be controlled on-board, via Nanlink App 2.0, via DMX/RDM or with LumenRadio CRMX. Users can adopt the best control method for different shooting scenarios, allowing them to manage lighting whether on a feature film set, a smaller scale production, or a creator video.
Flexible Power Supply
The PavoTube II 6XR has a built-in 3200mAh rechargeable battery. The USB-C port on the fixture supports a wide range of input voltages and currents* and is compatible with the PD 3.0 protocol**. Additionally, it can be used with the optional F550 battery grip, allowing it to be powered from a single NP-F550 type battery.
*DC 5V/2A, 5V/3A, 9V/2A, 9V/3A, 12V/2A, 12V/3A, 20V/1A
**PD3.0 adapter: (9-20V) 20W Min
“Whether connected to a power outlet for continuous light output, or quickly recharging for on- the-go shooting, the PavoTube II 6XR provides total flexibility with uninterrupted operation,” the announcement states. “The internal battery can also prevent disruptions caused by sudden loss of AC or external power. The PavoTube II 6XR can also be charged in the optional 8-light kit case, automatically connecting to power via electronic contacts on the fixture the moment each tube is placed in the case.”
Compatible with 6C Accessories
The PavoTube II 6XR is compatible with the existing accessory ecosystem of the PavoTube II 6C, allowing users to continue using accessories they may already own.
The PavoTube II 6XR's complete accessory ecosystem includes over 20 accessories across 7 categories (clip/holder, mounting, modifier, waterproofing, cable, power supply, storage), enabling light shaping and mounting for flexible adaptation to various scenarios.
8-Light Kit • Comprehensive Solution
NANLITE has introduced an 8-light kit exclusively for the PavoTube II 6XR, designed for professional production needs. It includes eight fixtures, modifiers, mounting accessories, and a custom charging case (based on the Gutek T-230). With an IP67 rating, impact resistance, shockproof design, and V-2 flame retardancy, the case is designed for protection during transport.
Both fixtures and accessories have dedicated slots, ensuring organized storage. The case supports simultaneous charging of all eight fixtures and offers three power supply options: AC power, V- mount battery, and PD adapter. This portable solution can simplify multi-fixture setups, offering efficient storage, charging, and protection on set.
Versatile Lighting Possibilities with the PavoTube II XR Series
With the introduction of the PavoTube II 6XR, the PavoTube II XR series now comprises four sizes. Together, they cater to differing spaces and applications, offering precise, portable, cable-free lighting solutions. The longer tube lights are designed for simulating elongated light sources and providing broad coverage, while the shorter tubes are suited for tight spaces and detailed lighting. By combining long and short PavoTube fixtures, users can create dynamic lighting.
