THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING GENARAY
The Genaray Bright Beast is a 1×1 bi-color panel that uses 256
LEDs to throw an ultrabright, flicker-free light that’s ideal for
photo and video shoots. It operates on AC power or a single
V-mount battery, and it features 0% to 100% dimming for a full
6 stops of light. Built-in Bluetooth, DMX, and an AC adapter
give you an all-in-one unit that needs no extra components or
accessories for full functionality.
The Bright Beast supports DMX-512 so the light’s settings
can be remotely controlled from a DMX console. It has 512
selectable channels and a 5-pin XLR output jack to daisy-chain
other DMX-compatible lights. The Bright Beast can also be
controlled via Bluetooth with the Bright Beast app, which will
let you operate the light from 30 feet away.
For compatibility in the studio, the yoke can be mounted to a
light stand with a baby pin or junior pin.

USING THE BRIGHT BEAST WITH
BATTERY POWER

The battery loses some of its charge when
not in use. If the battery has not been in use
for several months, Genaray recommends
fully recharging the battery before a shoot.
