The Nanlite PavoBulb 10C is an RGBWW LED bulb designed for video lighting. It can be powered via a standard E27 Edison-base or through the USB Type-C port using a 5V/2.4A adapter. The light supports DMX, 2.4G wireless, and Bluetooth control.
Product Overview
The bulb features a diffuser for soft light and three control buttons on the side:
- DIM Button: Adjusts brightness in intervals (0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%).
- MODE Button: Switches between CCT and HSI modes.
- CCT/HUE Button: Adjusts color temperature or hue.
The USB Type-C port is located on the side and is used for power input, firmware updates, and DMX signal input/output (requires a separate USB-C to DMX cable splitter).
Operating Instructions
The bulb lights up automatically once powered.
- Brightness Adjustment: Short press the DIM button. At 100%, pressing again resets to 0%.
- Mode Switching: Short press the MODE button to toggle between CCT and HSI.
- CCT/HUE Adjustment: Short press the CCT/HUE button to cycle through values.
- Bluetooth Reset: Long press all three buttons simultaneously until the bulb flashes blue for 3 seconds.
Remote Control
The PavoBulb 10C supports multiple control methods:
- DMX Control: Connect the fixture to a DMX/RDM console using a DMX adapter cable. Ensure the last fixture in the chain uses a DMX terminator (120Ω resistor across Pin 2 and Pin 3).
- 2.4G Remote Control: Requires a compatible remote controller or transmitter box. Ensure the wireless protocol (V1.0 or V2.0) matches your remote controller settings.
Firmware Update
To update firmware:
- Insert a USB flash drive with the new firmware.
- If powered by E27 Magnetic Mount, long press the MODE button until the bulb flashes blue.
- Long press the DIM and CCT/HUE buttons simultaneously to start the upgrade.
- The bulb will flash green upon successful completion. If it flashes red, the upgrade failed.
Safety and Maintenance
- Do not look directly at the emitter when the light is on.
- Keep flammable or explosive articles at least 0.5m away from the fixture.
- Clean with a soft cloth and neutral detergent; do not use abrasives.
- Ensure ventilation holes are not obstructed to prevent overheating.
- Do not disassemble the fixture; repairs should be performed by qualified professionals.
