INTRODUCTION
OctaLux LED - USER MANUAL
2
Thank you for choosing Genaray.
The OctaLux LED Light Softbox produces bright, soft, and
consistent light that’s designed for use in the studio or on
location when shooting portraits, beauty/fashion, tabletop
products, and interviews. 240 individual LEDs generate a
5500 K daylight-balanced light that creates warmth and
glow on your subject. This continuous light emits very
little heat, so it can be used for extended periods without
overheating, and it allows you to get up close for intimate
shots. A dimmer control affords the ability to change the
light output from 10% to 100%.This is a great feature when
environment conditions alter the amount of light needed
for proper exposure.

The housing is sturdy, and the LEDs are not prone to
breakage like fluorescent fixtures, making the Genaray
OLED-55 ideal for everyday usage. The OctaLux LED Light
Softbox is 31.5˝ (80 cm) in diameter, and it attaches with
tension rods to the integrated speed ring, making setup a
snap. Additionally, you have the option of three diffusion
attachments. The diffusers help soften the light output,
which is more flattering and minimizes harsh shadows.

2. Open the access flaps on the back
of the OctaLux softbox, place the
softbox around the light head. It will
take shape with the following steps.
3. Insert the first tension rod (side B)
in any of the eight pockets at the
outer edge of the OctaLux softbox.
4. Insert the other end of the tension rod
(side A) into the speed-ring socket
on the side of the light head.

6. Insert the next two rods at a 90° angle
from the first two rods that were
inserted. This time insert each additional
rod into a socket on the speed ring,
and then into a pocket on the softbox.
7. Insert the remaining rods, one opposite
the next. Once all rods are in place, the
softbox will firm up and take shape.
8. Close the access flaps on the back of
the OctaLux softbox to ensure that it fits
tightly. This will prevent any light leaks.
