Live prices and creator coverage for the Nanlite PavoTube II 15XR RGB LED Pixel Tube Light (2', 4-Light Kit) - everything in one place.
Our editorial take on the Nanlite PavoTube II 15XR RGB LED Pixel Tube Light (2', 4-Light Kit)
The Nanlite PavoTube II XR series represents a significant and welcome evolution of an already popular lighting platform. By integrating professional-grade LumenRadio CRMX wireless control directly into the fixture, Nanlite has bridged the gap between prosumer accessibility and true on-set workflow integration. The color quality from the RGBWW emitters is excellent, delivering accurate skin tones and a wide, vibrant gamut for creative effects. Coupled with expanded pixel control, these tubes are more than just simple accent lights; they are dynamic, versatile tools for creating complex, animated lighting cues that can define a scene's visual language.
This four-light kit is a particularly strong value, providing a solid foundation for a variety of lighting setups right out of the case. While the overall build quality feels solid for most studio and field use, some questions about long-term durability under the rigors of constant rental or set life remain. The internal battery is convenient, but as with any integrated power source, its lifespan is a consideration for long-term owners. These are minor points, however, in what is otherwise a powerful and well-executed lighting system. The combination of performance, professional control, and creative flexibility makes the PavoTube II 15XR kit a formidable option in a competitive market.
- Integrated professional CRMX wireless DMX control
- Excellent color rendition with RGBWW emitters
