Nanlite expands their LED tube light line with the second-generation PavoTube II 15C RGB LED Tube Light, featuring an improved easy-to-use fixture with a brighter output compared to the original PavoTube 15C. At over 423 lux at 1m (5600K), the PavoTube II 15C delivers exceptional colour accuracy with a wider colour temperature range from 2700 to 7500K, as shown by its CRI and TLCI scores of 97 and 98. Measuring 2′ in length, this versatile and lightweight tube light is ideal for filmmakers and content creators setting up lighting in the studio or on location. With 0 to 100% dimming and 15 preprogrammed special lighting effects, it can be used as key, fill, backlight, or for in-camera practical effects.
Multiple improvements include faster recharging via an included AC adapter or a USB-C port on the back of the fixture, seamless diffusion, green-magenta shift by +/- 150, Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz for wireless control, DMX/RDM capability, and smaller end caps to minimise distractions on your frame. The PavoTube II 15C has a built-in rechargeable battery that offers a runtime up to 2 hours at 100% brightness. The light also offers universal power capability via an included multi-voltage AC adapter or runs on optional external batteries. T12 compatible with a 1.9″ diameter, it has a clip equipped with two 1/4″-20 mounts, two steel safety wires for hanging, and a padded carry bag for storage and transport.
The light’s built-in battery recharges 1 hour and 10 minutes faster than previous generations. You can charge it using the USB-C port on the back of the fixture or connect it to the included AC adapter to the PavoTube II 15C’s end cap for continuous power. You also have the option of using D-tap batteries with the separately available CB-DT/DC cable.
