8-Pixel RGBWW LED Tube for Any Scene
It would only make sense to improve on what already performs well and create something even better. Nanlite introduces the PavoTube II 6XR RGB LED Pixel Tube Light to meet this challenge. Built as the successor to the popular PavoTube II 6C, the all-new 6XR arrives to bring improved performance with a similar compact and lightweight body to its predecessor. This "XR" version is designed with wireless support for LumenRadio CRMX, a great asset for users who need more advanced control. The PavoTube II 6XR is still a fun, portable 10" long tube-shaped fixture that lets you go from bi-color to RGB output for multiple lighting needs and creative uses, but the upgraded 6XR provides a much wider color temperature, eight controllable pixels, and multiple power options. Creators who have already used the previous version and those who have never experienced the 6C will be able to benefit from the PavoTube II 6XR's expanded CCT range of 2700-12,000K, +/- 150 G/M adjustment, PD 3.0 fast charging, onboard, DMX, CRMX, or app control with NFC technology, and other features. The light runs on its built-in USB-C rechargeable battery, AC power, or optional power banks, allowing it to fit or be taken almost anywhere.
What Was Good Got Better
The PavoTube II 6XR is the latest generation of Nanlite's popular 10" PavoTube II 6C LED tube light. These new PavoTubes have been refined based on feedback from creators around the globe, with features including DMX/RDM and CRMX compatibility and enhanced app control. Here, the 6XR version also brings a wide range of warm-to-cool white light, 36,000 RGB colors, and animated pixel effects in addition to standard ones. Nanlite has thought of several ways to improve the settings of its previous light to create the 6XR while maintaining the familiarity and favorite features of the 6C.
Multiple Applications
Flexibility is key to the design of the PavoTube II 6XR. Illuminate your scenes with this portable, 10" long LED tube suitable for a variety of applications, from your video calls to creating fill and accent lighting for video and photo productions. It is a great lighting solution for content creators needing a splash of RGB light or flowing pixel effects. Thanks to its compact body, this tube light is ideal for hiding unobtrusively in small areas on a set, at home, or in challenging environments. The 6XR is easy to take on location or use in the studio. Even though it is small, it is bright enough to be used during small interview setups, as a tabletop light, or to add a little wash on a background.
Wider CCT Range & Pixel Effects
The PavoTube II 6XR features 0 to 100% dimming and generous color temperature from 2700 to 12,000K with +/-150 green/magenta shift. The CCT range and the G/M are both above the characteristics of the 6C. The CCT level far exceeds the 2700 to 7500K range of the previous PavoTube II 6C model. In addition, the PavoTube II 6XR comes with multiple lighting effects to conveniently help you achieve different creative looks. It includes both classic lighting presets and pixel-based effects. All the effects are customizable and can be saved as presets using the Nanlink app.
- Pixel-based effects include Hue Loop, CCT Loop, Int Loop, Multi Color, Fade, Process, Scroll, Fire, Rainbow, and Driving.
High-Quality RGB Lighting
The PavoTube II 6XR allows a myriad of color combinations to let you express your creativity. Experiment with up to 36,000 RGB colors, multiple effects, CCT and HSI lighting modes, and 230 LEE and ROSCO gel presets. The 6XR provides flattering, accurate light with an average CRI of 96, TLCI of 97, and SSI ratings of 83 at 3200K and 73 at 5600K. These numbers ensure optimized skin tones and accurate color rendition. When set at 5600K, the 6XR tube delivers a brightness of 139 lux at a distance of 3.3'.
NFC, Intuitive Control Methods & DMX Capability
Easily control the tube's functions via onboard controls, DMX/RDM using an optional USB-C to DMX adapter cable, or wirelessly using the free Nanlink Bluetooth app. The PavoTube II 6XR has an easy-to-use screen with local controls for intuitive adjustments of the lighting settings. Go from cool to warmer tones, choose from multiple RGB colors, and find the right level of illumination you need.
- Built-in Bluetooth allows it to be wirelessly controlled from your smartphone or tablet with the Nanlink app.
- NFC capability lets users quickly pair their mobile devices to speed up any workflow.
Built-In CRMX
Users needing advanced lighting control will appreciate the addition of wireless DMX via LumenRadio CRMX. The PavoTube II 6XR allows wireless control through a built-in LumenRadio receiver and a separately available transmitter. That's the only difference between this 6XR model and the PavoTube II 6X version. The built-in LumenRadio CRMX gives you the convenience of wireless DMX besides wired DMX/RDM control.
Versatile Power Options
Powered by an internal USB-C rechargeable battery, this tube light offers a variety of power options. Achieve up to 53 minutes of runtime at 100% brightness or approximately 2 hours at 50%.
- Its USB-C port works with separately available PD chargers for quick recharging, and other USB power sources, such as optional power banks, are compatible.
- The PavoTube II 6XR is also ready for AC power to run continuously while the battery charges.
- Works with an optional NP-F battery grip.
- A USB-C cable is included for your convenience.
On/Off Switch
The on/off functionality has been upgraded to a recessed switch, replacing the previous 6C button to avoid unintentional activation.
T12 Magnetic or 1/4"-20 Mounting
Giving you flexible mounting possibilities, the PavoTube II 6XR is compatible with most T12 diameter accessories and features two 1/4"-20 receivers at both ends, as well as powerful built-in magnets for attaching to metal surfaces. Nanlite supplies a set of iron plates to attach the fixture to non-metal surfaces.
Optional Accessories
Enjoy a complete ecosystem of separately available accessories to take your visions further, such as the Nanlite EC-PTII6C fabric grid that reduces light spill or the brand's optional AS-WB-PTII6C waterproof bag that enables underwater use of the LED tube or safe operation on rainy days. Other optional accessories include T12-compatible tube clips. It is important to note that the previous accessories designed for PavoTube II 6C are fully compatible with the 6X and 6XR.
Portability
You can mount this lightweight 9.5 oz light in various lighting setups, especially when space is at a minimum or in a challenging environment, which makes it a convenient and portable on-the-go lighting solution. A carry bag is provided for protection of the PavoTube II 6XR.
