PORTABLE FOCUSING LED

BLT-60 / BLT-60B

Torpedo Portable Focusing LED - USER MANUAL

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.
