Nanlite has just announced the second generation of their popular PavoTube lights, the PavoTube II X Tube light as well as the new Nanlink Wireless Control Solution.
NANLITE PavoTube II X Lights
Available in three lengths, 60cm (2 feet), 120cm (4 feet) and massive 240cm (8 feet) the PavoTube II X features a number of upgrades over older PavoTube models.
The upgrades include, RGBWW LED tubes capable of replicating up to 36,000 colours, colour temperature range of 2700K – 12,000K with green/magenta adjustment and CRI of 97 and TLCI of 98.
There are 15 built-in practical special effects modes (Storm, Police Car, TV, Paparazzi, Candle/Fire, Disco, Bad Bulb, Firework, Explosion, and Welding, etc) offering more control and versatility.
In addition, there are also 10 pixel-based lighting effects (Hue Loop, CCT Loop, INT Loop, Multi-colour, Gradient, Scrolling, Marching, Flame, Rainbow, and Driving) to further expand creative lighting possibilities.
The new Pixel Control mode will allow users to control the light coming out of different parts of the tube, a feature that is normally found on much more expensive Tube Lights.
The built-in battery has also been given a boost with users now being able to run the light for up to 29 hours at 1% power or 2 hours at full power with a recharging of between 3 to 3.5 hours.
Onboard lighting controls have also been moved to the back of the light and now support DMX, RDM, Bluetooth and 2.4G wireless control.
User will also be able to control the lights wirelessly via the new NANLINK APP for iOS (available now) and Android (available soon).
The app will allow users to control existing Nanlite fixtures wirelessly, including grouping them, launching presets and more.
Here is a quick list of which features can be controlled on the PavoTube II X via the app:
- CCT and HSI modes
- Effect and Pixel effect modes
- Quick on/off
- Presets
- Console mode
In addition, users will be able to control the PavoTube II X, as well as other Nanlite/Nanlux lighting fixtures with the new NANLINK Wireless Control Solution and Transmitter Box which we talk about below.
