THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING GENARAY
The SpectroLED Essential Bi-Color LED and Daylight LED
lights have a sturdy housing that’s designed for use in the
studio or on location. They produce bright, consistent light
powered by AC power or by two Sony-style NP-F batteries.
The daylight version generates a 5600 K daylight-balanced light.
The bi-Color version has a variable color temperature that allows
you to choose from 3200 to 5600 K. A built-in dimmer allows you to
change the light output from 100% to 0%. Additionally, a removable
diffusion filter is included to help soften and spread the light.
LED lights produce very little heat, so the SpectroLED can
be used for extended periods without overheating.
The Essential LED-series lights are excellent lightweight
fixtures that provide a high-powered lighting solution
for in-studio or on location illumination.

MOUNTING THE
SPECTROLED
ESSENTIAL LIGHTS
The SpectroLED Essential LED lights
come with a preinstalled yoke, allowing
you to easily balance and adjust the tilt
of the light. The yoke can be mounted
horizontally or vertically on a light stand,
allowing the user to position the device
in a way that the yoke doesn’t block the
light.
The yoke has a standard 5/8-inch mount
to fit most light stands. Additionally,
there are 1/4-20 sockets on the top and
bottom of the lights, allowing for fully
customizable light mounting.

MOUNTING THE SPECTROLED
ESSENTIAL LIGHTS
(CONTINUED)
To remove the yoke, unscrew the two
adjustment knobs from the sides.
The Essential-series LED lights are also
equipped with stacking mounts, allowing
you to connect up to three units to create
a vast array of additional lighting options.
To stack your units, slide the stacking
clips into the stacking mounts on one of
the devices. Then slide the second light
to the first unit’s stacking clips. Make
sure it locks in place. Repeat these steps
to mount a third light.
Important! Do not stack more
than three units at one time.

POWERING THE
LIGHTS
The SpectroLED Essential LED lights
come with an included AC/DC cable,
allowing for a nearly limitless power
supply from a standard electrical outlet.
To power your light, plug the AC/DC
adapter into a power outlet, and the
other end into your device’s DC input
port on the back of the unit.
Additionally, the Essential-series light
units can be powered with Sony NP-F
batteries (sold separately), allowing
you to avoid cable clutter or work in a
location without electrical outlets.

The SpectroLED Essential LED lights’
output is controlled with the Dimming
knob on the back of the device. Turn the
knob clockwise to adjust the brightness
output from 0% to 100%. Turn the knob
counterclockwise to dim the light.
The bi-color version also includes a
color temperature knob, allowing you
to change the color temperature from
daylight (5600 K) to tungsten (3200 K).
Turning the knob counterclockwise
will adjust the color temperature
towards daylight, while turning the knob
clockwise will give the lights a warmer,
tungsten light color temperature.
The Essential-series LED lights come
with an offset diffuser which is perfect
for dispersing and softening the light
output.
To install the diffuser, insert the its
notches into the diffusion notches on the
sides of the light panel.
