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
open Genaray’s RGB mobile app. The mobile app provides
access to even more powerful features, including group
and individual light control, and effects.
For the latest version of the RGB mobile app, visit
