Nanlite PavoTube II Studioljus

Nanlite PavoTube II 6C — Pocket-Sized RGBWW Tube Light for Studio and On-Location Work

The Nanlite PavoTube II 6C is a 25 cm handheld RGBWW LED tube designed for content creators, photographers, and videographers who need flexible, color-accurate lighting without being tied to a wall socket. This model combines a linear light source with a diffused source, producing soft, even illumination that requires no extra softening accessories.

At just 260 g and 25 cm long, this instrument slips into a camera bag or even a coat pocket, ready to act as a key light, fill, accent, or hidden ambience source. An internal lithium-ion battery, USB-C charging, and magnetic mounting mean the unit can be deployed almost anywhere a shoot demands.

What Sets the Product Apart in the Mini Tube Light Category

Built-in magnets and three included iron plates let the tube attach directly to metal surfaces, while 1/4"-20 receivers on both ends accept standard photo and video hardware. A green-to-magenta shift alongside the 2700K–7500K CCT range gives finer color tuning than most competing mini tubes, and the NANLINK mobile app plus built-in 2.4 GHz receiver add wireless control without extra hubs on newer firmware.

Combining a linear LED array with a diffused coating produces soft output without needing a separate softbox, and 15 pre-programmed effects — Hue Loop, CCT Loop, Storm, Police Car, TV, Paparazzi, Fire, Welding, and more — replicate complex lighting scenarios with a single button press.

Key Technical Parameters — Color, Power, and Form Factor

Color accuracy and creative flexibility are the headline features of the instrument, and the underlying numbers back that up. CRI and TLCI ratings sit in the mid-90s, the CCT range covers everything from tungsten warmth to daylight-plus cool, and HSI mode unlocks roughly 36,000 individual hues for precise gel-style matching.

• LED Type: RGBWW — full-color plus warm/white diodes for cleaner whites than RGB-only tubes
• Color Temperature: 2700K–7500K with ±100 G/M adjustment — matches ambient light or pushes creative color casts
• Color Accuracy: CRI 95 / TLCI 97 — skin tones and product colors render with minimal correction
• HSI Range: up to 36,000 colors — dial in exact brand or mood colors via hue and saturation
• Rated Power: 6 W — efficient draw that keeps the tube cool during extended handheld use
• Output: 169 lux at 1 m (5600K) — you can use it as a key or accent light at close range.
• The internal 2200 mAh Li-ion battery provides about 65 minutes of operation at full brightness and takes 2 hours to charge via USB-C.
• Dimensions: 25 × 3.8 cm — palm-sized and T12-compatible for standard tube accessories
• Weight: 260 g — light enough to hold, tape, or magnet-mount without strain
• Mounting: 2× 1/4"-20 female threads + integrated magnets — fits tripods, clamps, and metal surfaces out of the box

Who the PavoTube II 6C Is For

This model is the right choice for content creators, YouTubers, and on-location videographers who need a compact, battery-powered RGB light that can disappear into a scene or pop as a colorful accent. Solo shooters benefit from the magnetic mounting and app control when there is no one else to hold a flag or adjust a stand.

Photographers shooting product close-ups will appreciate the soft, diffused output and high CRI for accurate color rendition, while event videographers can use the 15 built-in effects to add dynamic lighting to receptions, performances, or interviews without hauling a full lighting kit. Streamers and remote workers get a flattering, tunable key light that fits on a small desktop tripod and runs untethered for an entire session.

The Manufacturer and the Lineup

Nanlite developed the PavoTube series to bring studio-grade LED color control into portable, tube-style fixtures used widely in modern photo and video production. This light sits at the compact end of that lineup, designed as a go-anywhere companion to the larger 15C, 30C, and T8 series tubes, sharing the same NANLINK ecosystem and accessory mounting standards.
