THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING GENARAY

The Genaray SpectroLED Studio Lights provide bright,
continuous light with flicker-free dimming for photography
and video shoots. They’re ideal for studio work, but they’re
constructed to be sturdy and durable enough for location
work as well.

SpectroLED fixtures are available with 800- and 1200­LED arrays that can operate on AC or battery power. Each
fixture offers a brightness range of 100% to 10%, along
with a high CRI for precise color accuracy and rendering.
A diffuser is included for a softer wraparound light quality.
Daylight models generate a 5600 K daylight-balanced
light and include a tungsten filter to match other tungsten
fixtures in your studio. The bi-color models offer a color
temperature range from 3200 to 5600 K.

Each fixture includes a remote that will control any
SpectroLED light from up to 65 feet away. It will also
control the brightness and color temperatures of all
SpectroLED lights in a multilight display. For additional
light-shaping capability and light-spill control, an easy­to-install barndoor attachment is sold separately. The
barndoors include removable silver intensifiers, and clips
for attaching gels.

POWERING THE
SPECTROLED

The SP-S-1200 and SP-S-800 can be
powered directly from an AC outlet or with
one V-mount battery (not included).

USING THE SPECTROLED
WITH AC POWER

Important

The SP-S-1200 and SP-S-800 are
multivoltage fixtures capable of running on
100 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz. The included cable
has a 120 V, 50 Hz (North American) plug.
To use this fixture with other voltages, you
must use a plug adapter (sold separately).

Use the AC adapter and AC power
cord to connect the fixture's 4-pin
XLR socket to an AC outlet.

USING THE SPECTROLED
WITH BATTERY POWER

The SP-S-1200 and SP-S-800 can be
powered by a V-mount battery.

When attaching the battery, make sure the
power switch is in the Off position, and the
fixture is not plugged into a wall outlet.

A Gold Mount battery can be used
by connecting it to the SP-S-1200
and SP-S-800 with a D-tap
power cable (not included).

Use the battery’s charge indicator to
see remaining charge or runtime.
