Twin Sun 1 × 2 Bi-Color Soft LED Panel - USER MANUAL

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING GENARAY

The Genaray Twin Sun LED light ﬁxture provides

photographers and videographers with extremely bright yet

soft continuous light. This 1 × 2-foot ﬁxture can operate on

AC or battery power, and it features ﬂicker-free light that’s

ideal for shooting video at high frame rates (slow motion).

The light throws a beam with 120-degree coverage, and

its integrated diffuser and recessed LEDs contribute to a

bright and punchy single-shadow light that also has a soft

wraparound quality.

The Twin Sun supports DMX-512 so the light’s settings

can be remotely controlled from a DMX console. It has 512

selectable channels and a 3-pin XLR output jack to daisy-

chain other DMX-compatible lights.

Twin Sun ﬁxtures come in a heavy-duty metal chassis

that can withstand the most demanding professional

environments. For compatibility in the studio, the

integrated yoke can be mounted to a light stand with a baby

pin or junior receiver.
