LED RGB Pavotube II 30C light 2KIT by Nanlite — LED RGB tube lighting kit

The Nanlite LED RGB Pavotube II 30C light 2KIT is a pair of RGB LED tube lights designed for creative lighting and video production. Each tube provides continuously variable hue, saturation, and intensity controls, enabling precise color matching and atmospheric accent lighting. The kit is built for studio and on-location use, offering tube-format illumination that can serve as practical lights, hair/edge lights, background accents, or visual effects elements in photography and filmmaking.

Advantages

The Pavotube II 30C delivers accurate and adjustable RGB output with smooth color transitions and dimming. The tube form factor is lightweight and easy to position, and the pair included in the kit allows for balanced two-point setups or contrasting color schemes. Control options include onboard settings and wireless control compatibility, enabling integration with common lighting workflows and remote adjustments during shoots.

Suitable for

• Studio portrait and product photography requiring streak or accent lighting
• Video interviews and film scenes needing controllable practical or edge lighting
• Content creation and live streaming with creative color accents
• On-location shoots where compact, portable tube lighting is preferred

When it may not be suitable

The Pavotube II 30C is optimized for color flexibility and practical tube illumination rather than high-output key lighting; it may not replace larger fixtures when maximum single-source brightness is required. For users who need very high CRI white light only, a dedicated daylight-balanced fixture with higher lumen output might be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Light source type: RGB LED array
• Form factor: tubular LED light (tube-style)
• Color control: adjustable hue, saturation, and intensity
• Typical use: accent, practical, background, and visual effects lighting
• Power and mounting: lightweight construction with mounting points suitable for stands or clamps

How to use

Position the tubes to frame subjects, edges, or backgrounds depending on the intended effect. Use onboard controls or a compatible wireless controller to set hue, saturation, and brightness; synchronize both tubes for matched color or set distinct colors for contrast. Adjust distance and angle to control spill and intensity; use diffusion or flags if softer or more directional light is required. For run-and-gun or location work, secure the tubes with suitable clamps or brackets and verify power options before shooting.

What to consider before purchase

• Required light output for your scenes versus the tube’s typical brightness
• Control method compatibility (onboard, wireless, or app-based control)
• Mounting and power options needed for studio or location use
• Whether RGB color capability is more important than high-output white key lighting

Usage recommendations

Use one tube as a rim or hair light and the other as a background or fill source for quick two-point setups. Match color temperatures when combining with white-balanced fixtures or embrace contrasting hues for creative effects. Test battery or power configurations ahead of location shoots to ensure uninterrupted operation.
