RGB Tube Lights

A tube light is a bar of light that can stand upright, lie along a surface, hang from a rig, or be carried by hand. In its RGB form it can also paint colour, which makes it a favourite for creators who want a background to glow, a product edge to catch a colour, or a set to change mood between scenes without moving any furniture.

The model with a full published specification here is the 40cm RGB tube light. Its detail page lists LED count, power, illuminance at two distances, luminous flux, colour temperature range, colour rendering and television lighting consistency, colour and saturation ranges, charging, control, remote, and app support. Those figures describe the 40cm model only.

The product title also lists 60cm, 80cm and 100cm versions. Their specifications are not published on the source page, and this site does not copy the 40cm figures across to them. A buyer interested in a longer tube should ask through the inquiry form, where the correct figures for that length can be confirmed.

Control is where a tube light earns its keep. The 40cm model is controlled by buttons and a knob on the body, by a remote, and through an app, with scene modes and preset groups. That range matters on a set: the person behind the camera can change colour without walking over to the light, and a preset can be recalled between takes.

For practical buying, think about length first and colour second. Length decides how much of a scene the light can wash. Colour range decides whether it can also serve as an accent. A short tube is a precise tool for a desk or a product shot; a long tube is a wash for a wall or a backdrop. The guide on choosing a tube light works through those choices.
