Light flickering or inconsistent output

Check all cable connections for a secure fit. If using battery power, ensure the battery has sufficient charge. Try a different power source (AC adapter vs. battery). Update the firmware if available.

Unable to connect via Bluetooth/NANLINK app

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device. Make sure the PavoTube II 30C is powered on and within range. Restart both the light and your mobile device. Try re-pairing the device through the app.

DMX control not responding

Special effects not working as expected

  • Versatile control options including app, 2.4G, and DMX.
  • Improved diffusion for a more pleasing and uniform light quality.
  • Faster recharging and longer battery life at lower brightness levels.

Cons

  • DMX/RDM control may require specific transmitters or cables not always included.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the Nanlite PavoTube II 30C is straightforward. It can be powered via the included multi-voltage AC adapter, the USB-C port (supporting PD3.0 for faster charging), or its internal rechargeable battery. The tube features a built-in rechargeable battery providing over 2.5 hours of runtime at full brightness.

Compatibility:

The PavoTube II 30C adheres to the T12 standard, making it compatible with a wide range of mounting accessories. Each tube includes a transparent mounting clip with two 1/4"-20 receivers for easy attachment to light stands or grip equipment. Optional accessories like floor stands or specialized mounts are available separately.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior of the tube with a soft, dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which could damage the diffusion surface.
  • Storage: Store the PavoTube II 30C in its included padded carry bag when not in use to protect it from dust and physical damage.
  • Battery Maintenance: For optimal battery life, avoid leaving the battery fully discharged for extended periods. If storing for a long time, charge it to about 50% capacity.
