FAQs
Can I use the PavoBulb 10C in any standard lamp?
Yes, the PavoBulb 10C is designed to fit standard E27 lamp sockets. However, ensure the fixture can support its power draw and that there is adequate ventilation.
What types of external batteries can I use?
The kit includes adapters for Sony NP-F style batteries, which are commonly used for powering portable video lights. You will need to supply the NP-F batteries themselves.
How do I achieve DMX control?
DMX control requires the purchase of the optional Nanlite CB-DMX-USBC-1/3 cable, which connects to the USB-C port of the PavoBulb 10C.
What is the beam angle of the PavoBulb 10C?
The PavoBulb 10C has a wide beam angle of 205°, providing a soft and even spread of light thanks to its full-dome diffuser.
Can I control multiple PavoBulbs simultaneously?
Yes, using the NANLINK app or a 2.4G remote, you can group multiple PavoBulbs together to control them simultaneously, making it easy to adjust lighting for a scene.
What is the difference between CCT and RGB control?
CCT (Correlated Color Temperature) control adjusts the light between warm white (e.g., 2700K) and cool white (e.g., 7500K). RGB control allows you to select from millions of colors (Red, Green, Blue).
How many lighting effects are included?
The PavoBulb 10C comes with 15 built-in lighting effects, such as 'Paparazzi', 'Lightning', 'Siren', and 'Fire', which can be customized via the NANLINK app.
Troubleshooting
PavoBulb 10C does not turn on.
Check that the bulb is securely screwed into the E27 socket. Verify that the power source (AC adapter or battery) is properly connected and functional. Ensure the wired controller, if used, is also powered.
Cannot connect to the NANLINK mobile app.
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device and that the PavoBulb 10C is powered on. Try restarting both your mobile device and the PavoBulb. Confirm you are within Bluetooth range (typically around 10 meters/30 feet).
Inconsistent color output or flickering.
Check the power connection for stability. If using external batteries, ensure they are sufficiently charged. Update the firmware of the PavoBulb and the NANLINK app if available. Try resetting the light settings to default.
Wired controller is unresponsive.
Ensure the wired controller is correctly connected to the PavoBulb's USB-C port. Check if the controller itself has sufficient battery charge if it has an internal battery.
Dimming or color changes are not smooth.
Verify that the control method is set appropriately. App or remote control usually offers smoother transitions than direct button control. Ensure you are using the correct settings within the NANLINK app or controller.
