THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING GENARAY
The Genaray Torpedo is a great choice for photographers and
videographers who need a powerful and focusable beam from
a compact, portable source. This advanced light is perfect for
events that are usually shot on location, such as weddings and
meetings. The Torpedo’s COB LED technology offers a
high-powered beam from a small array that eliminates the
multiple shadows that are common in LED lighting.
The Torpedo features an integrated Fresnel-style lens that
focuses the beam from a concentrated 15° spot with a long
throw to a wide 75° flood. The BLT-60 is set to a 5600 K daylight
balance, and the bi-color BLT-60B can be adjusted from 3200
to 5600 K. Both models boast a 96 TLCI rating for extremely
accurate color rendering. For additional control, the removable
barndoors shape the beam while minimizing light spill.

MOUNTING ON A
LIGHT STAND
1. Loosen the yoke’s locking screw, and fit
the receiver over the light stand’s 5/8-inch
stud. Tighten the locking screw until
secure.
2. Loosen the tilt angle screws, and adjust
the tilt angle of the light. Tighten the
screws until secure.
ATTACHING THE
BARNDOORS
Align the barndoors with the front of the
Torpedo, and screw them on until
they’re secure.
The barndoor fixture should easily
screw onto the light. Don’t use force
if it seems hard to turn, because you
can damage the threads. Unscrew
the barndoors, and then realign
them and screw them in again.
If you remove the lens for any reason, you can
replace it by fitting it into the Torpedo with the
textured side facing in toward the LED.

INSTRUCTOONS
POWERING THE TORPEDO
AND ADJUSTING THE
BRIGHTNESS
Battery Power
The Torpedo will operate with two different
types of batteries.
Sony NP-F Series Batteries: Align the battery
terminals, and slide the NP-F battery into the
battery slot until it locks into place (Figure A).
Professional Batteries: Use the included D-tap
cable to connect the battery's D-tap port to the
Torpedo’s power input (Figure B).
Press the on button. The light powers on to
the previous brightness setting.
AC Power
Important: The Torpedo is a multivoltage
fixture capable of running on 120 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).
Attach the power adapter cord to the power
input socket.
Make sure the unit is turned off. Insert the
mini XLR connector from the AC power
adapter into the Torpedo’s power input.
The 3-pin mini XLR connector
should fit easily into the Torpedo’s
power input. Using force to insert
the connector can damage the pins.
Make sure the pins are aligned, and
reinsert the connector until it clicks
into place.
