BICOLOR MINI SOFT STRIP LED

2SSL-MINI-B Bicolor Mini Soft Strip LED - USER MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING GENARAY
The Genaray SSL-MINI-Bis a strip LED with a unique form factor that
provides even illumination along its entire length. It excels as a light for
closeups and portraits, and it’s an excellent choice for hair or accent
lighting too. The bright LED array has an integrated diffuser for a soft
wraparound, single-shadow beam. The fixture's full-length barndoors
can cut the beam to a very narrow strip, which gives precise control
over light and shadow onsubjects or backgrounds.
The SSL-MINI-B runs on AC or battery power. Integrated controls
adjust output level from 0% to 100% in1% increments for precise
brightness control, and color temperature from 3000 to 5600 K in 50 K
increments for matching ambient lighting orother light fixtures in your
setup. Silent, fanless cooling means this light won't create fan noise
that can disrupt a video shoot.
