The Genaray Torpedo is a great choice for photographers and

videographers who need a powerful and focusable beam from

a compact, portable source. This advanced light is perfect for

events that are usually shot on location, such as weddings and

meetings. The Torpedo’s COB LED technology offers a

high-powered beam from a small array that eliminates the

multiple shadows that are common in LED lighting.

The Torpedo features an integrated Fresnel-style lens that

focuses the beam from a concentrated 15° spot with a long

throw to a wide 75° flood. This fixture is set to a 5600 K daylight

balance, and it boasts a 96 TLCI rating for extremely accurate

color rendering. For additional control, the removable barndoors

shape the beam while minimizing light spill.
