Unlimited Color Options and Effects
With the PavoTube II X Series, you can choose between 15X (2 foot), 30X (4 foot), and 60X (8 foot) LED pixel tubes. They also offer some excellent software options. As a start, they range from 2700K to 12000K in color temperature. Hue can be adjusted from 0 to 360, while saturation is adjustable from 0 to 100. Practical built-in lighting effects include flash, pulse, bulb, disco, firework, explosion, welding, storm, police car, and others — a total of fifteen. Various pixel effects are included, including gradients and scrolling, as well as marching, flames, rainbows, and driving.
In essence, you can create as much as you can imagine with these options. Pavotubes even allow you to lock your lighting settings so you can avoid accidental changes when adjusting your lights. When updates are available, users can update their firmware using the USB C port.
Durable Metal Housing
In terms of the general hardware and approximate battery life of the X Series, at full brightness the 15X can run for 86 minutes, the 30X can run for 96 minutes, and the 60X can run for 117 minutes. Running the lights at about 10% brightness, the 15X can run for approximately 10 hours, while the 30X can run for 12 and a half. The 60X can run upwards of 18 hours. All PavoTube II X Series lights boast a metal housing along with a diffused tube cover, which makes the luminaire durable while producing soft light. All models come with T12 diameters and 1/4-20 mounts on both ends, allowing them to be used with any setup. This product is easy to use and control with its intuitive OLED display, six push buttons, and a power switch.
Accessories for Every Environment
Nanlite offers a variety of accessories so that you can make the most out of your PavoTube II. A few of the products on offer are Fabric Barndoors and a Grid, Nanlink Remote Control, foldable floor stands, waterproof housing, and eyebolts. The variety of optional accessories offers more possibilities for using the PavoTube II X in different environments. At the center of these, you’ll find the mounting bracket which has mounting screws on the outside when you open it up and clamp it around the tube. For optimal placement, you can adjust the position and slide it up and down the tube. The other brackets come with cold shoe mounts for mounting on top of your camera and one comes with a rod for those who prefer to mount their lights on a C stand. To use it as a hair or rim light, attach the fabric grid.
Final Thoughts
The PavoTubes have changed the game when it comes to lighting set ups. These tubes are an amazingly portable and robust lighting fixture that features 0 to 100% dimming, adjustable color temperature, a full spectrum RGB, and pre-programmed special effects. They offer a superior lighting solution compared with similarly styled products available on the market. They can be used as a main light, key light, attach four of them in combination with a light holder (sold separately) and it will essentially turn them into a kino light.
Additionally, they are a great solution as a fill light or practical light on your set. They can even be used for light painting or dreamy lighting in almost any location you can find. The possibilities are endless. Consider purchasing the PavoTube II X Series if you want to add more creativity, depth, dimension, and color to your film shoots, YouTube videos, and photography.
