THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING GENARAY
Genaray’s compact and portable Trailblazer features a COB
LED array that offers bright, flicker-free light that’s perfect
for photo and video shoots in the studio or on location.
The fixture runs on a readily available NP-F battery or on
AC power, and despite its size, it serves up 8010 lux to
illuminate your subjects with an extremely high degree
of color accuracy. The Trailblazer weighs slightly over a
pound and packs up in its own carry bag for portability
and includes a tilt adapter for light-stand mounting.
A diffuser lens softens the beam and delivers a single-
shadow light with soft edges that bathes subjects in
natural, daylight-balanced light. And thanks to the
Trailblazer’s circular COB and lens, it also provides a
natural-looking catchlight. For extra directionality or
texture, the integrated Bowens accessory mount is
compatible with a host of easy-to-attach accessories.
