The Nanlite PavoTube II 15X 2er Kit LED RGBW Tubes (model 3850) is a pair of portable color-effect lights designed for photographers, videographers and event technicians who need flexible, controllable illumination. Each tube offers full RGBW color mixing and stepless brightness control, enabling creative accent lighting, practical on-location fills and dynamic color effects. The tubes are lightweight and include mounting options that facilitate quick setup in studio or field environments.

Advantages

These LED tubes combine accurate color mixing with variable white output to deliver both vivid color effects and neutral whites. The compact form factor and low weight make the kit highly portable for run-and-gun shoots and event rigging. Built-in controls and compatibility with common mounting accessories simplify integration into existing lighting setups, while consistent light quality and flicker-free output support video production requirements.

How to use

Position the tubes where you need accent or fill light and attach using compatible clamps or brackets. Use the on-tube controls or compatible remote control to select colors, adjust hue and saturation, and set white balance if neutral light is required. Adjust brightness to achieve the desired exposure, and combine tubes to expand coverage or create multi-color effects. Ensure power sources are rated for continuous operation if using for extended shoots.

Usage recommendations

For efficient workflow, plan color schemes and brightness levels before the shoot and test the tubes on camera to confirm white balance and flicker-free operation. Use diffusion or gels only if a softer appearance is required; otherwise the tubes provide usable light quality for both photos and video. When transporting, secure tubes in padded cases to protect the LED surface and connectors.
