CONTENDER

LED FRESNEL SPOT FOCUSING LIGHT

USER MANUAL

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING GENARAY

The Genaray Contender is a compact and versatile light
that’s ideal for still and tabletop photography, interviews,
and portraits. It features dense matrix LED technology that
furnishes a high-powered beam from a small array and
eliminates multiple shadows that are common in LED lighting.

Contender
INTRODUCTION

It offers a brightness range of 100% to 10%, along with a high
CRI for precise color accuracy and rendering. The daylight
fixture’s color temperature is set to a constant 5600 K. The
bicolor fixture generates a color temperature range from 5600
to 3200 K that can be adjusted in 100 K increments for the
ideal color temperature to match other fixtures in the studio.

The integrated Fresnel lens allows the beam to be focused
from a concentrated 25° spot to a wide 55° flood. For
additional control, the barndoor attachment shapes the beam
while minimizing light spill. A tungsten filter is included with
the daylight fixture if a warmer light is needed, or to match
the color temperature of other tungsten-balance fixtures.

This compact and versatile light boasts an advanced
modular design that permits quick switching from AC
to DC power. The LED array generates minimal heat
so the fixture can be positioned close to subjects over
extended periods without burning or overheating them.
