Nanlite has introduced the PavoSlim 360C, the largest and most powerful fixture yet in its popular PavoSlim LED panel lineup—bringing professional‑grade output and versatile color control to studio and location lighting setups.
A Bigger, Brighter Panel for Modern Production
The PavoSlim 360C builds on the slim, lightweight design that made earlier PavoSlim models popular among filmmakers, photographers, and content creators. Unlike the original 60C and 120C panels, the 360C uses a 4 × 2‑foot panel format with a high‑output LED array and advanced color mixing technology, making it capable of delivering more light across larger subjects or scene areas.
This full‑color RGBWW fixture offers a wide correlated color temperature (CCT) range from 2400K up to 12,000K, along with green/magenta adjustment, allowing precise matching with existing lights or ambient conditions. Its RGBWW mixing system expands creative flexibility, supplying accurate hues and rich color effects for cinematic productions.
Performance and Practical Features
Nanlite positions the 360C as a workhorse for professionals who need both power and control:
- High light output: The panel delivers exceptionally bright illumination suitable for key, fill, or background lighting in controlled setups or larger spaces.
- Slim profile: Despite its size, the panel maintains a slim form factor, consistent with the PavoSlim philosophy of lightweight and easy‑to‑rig gear.
- Advanced control options: Users can adjust light settings using onboard controls, the Nanlink app, and industry‑standard lighting protocols such as DMX/RDM and CRMX wireless control.
- Accessory support: Included accessories like a pop‑up softbox and eggcrate grid make it easier to achieve softer, more controlled lighting on set without adding bulk.
- Power flexibility: The fixture accepts AC and optional battery power—a useful feature for location shoots and flexible workflows.
These attributes make the PavoSlim 360C suitable for a range of production environments, from interview lighting and beauty work to larger set scenarios where powerful, adjustable lighting is required.
The Broader PavoSlim Ecosystem
The original PavoSlim series includes smaller models like the PavoSlim 60C and 120C RGBWW panels, known for their thin, lightweight designs and high color accuracy. These earlier versions offer flexible power options (including V‑mount batteries for remote setups), multiple lighting modes, and wireless control via the Nanlink app—features that made them popular in both studio and location work.
The expansion to a larger 360C model reflects ongoing demand from cinematographers, gaffers, and content creators for powerful, easily deployable LED sources with sophisticated control systems. Whether used as a primary key light or part of a multi‑panel array, the 360C brings high output and creative flexibility to demanding video and cine workflows.
What It Means for Creators
For filmmakers and lighting professionals, the jump to larger RGBWW LED panels like the PavoSlim 360C signifies a shift toward more capable, yet still lightweight LEDs that bridge the gap between traditional soft sources and high‑end panel systems. By combining strong output with precise color control and flexible rigging options, panels like the 360C help creators achieve consistent, high‑quality lighting with fewer fixtures and less setup complexity.
As LED technology continues to evolve, tools like the PavoSlim 360C make advanced lighting setups more accessible—supporting a wide range of production styles, from interview and narrative work to commercial video and streaming content.
