SSL-36 INTRODUCTION
SSL-36 USER MANUAL
2
The Genaray SSL-36 is a daylight-balance strip LED that provides even illumination along its entire 36-inch length. In the studio, it’s perfect for lighting full-length portraits, and it excels as a hair or accent light for group shots. The bright 256-bulb LED array has an integrated diffuser for a soft wraparound beam that eliminates the multiple shadows of most LED lights. The SSL-36 is constructed with full-length barndoors that can cut the beam to a very narrow strip, which gives precise control over light and shadow on subjects or backgrounds.
The SSL-36 runs on AC or battery power. It has a color temperature of 5600 K and a 95 CRI rating, which delivers excellent color accuracy. Its power output is controlled by a stepless dimmer knob that ranges from 100% to 10% brightness. Passive cooling eliminates the need for a fan, so there’s no fan noise that can disrupt a video shoot. A lollipop mount is included for precise and easy positioning in any orientation.
