THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING GENARAY

Genaray’s 5 × 7 RGB LED light is a powerful and versatile

solution for advanced lighting effects with a compact on-

camera light.

Four operating modes offer lighting options for any

situation or effect. Use CCT mode to set a color

temperature that simulates the warmth of a tungsten bulb

or bright sunlight, and everything in between. HIS and

Color Wheel modes let you manually select any color from

the color wheel and adjust its saturation and brightness

levels. And the BL-5X7-RGB is loaded with 10 animated

effects that realistically simulate police car lights or

ﬂashing paparazzi cameras for your videos.

The BL-5X7-RGB light is equipped with Bluetooth that

pairs with your tablet or smartphone the moment you
