OctaLux LED - USER MANUAL

Thank you for choosing Genaray.

The OctaLux LED Light Softbox produces bright, soft, and

consistent light that’s designed for use in the studio or on

location when shooting portraits, beauty/fashion, tabletop

products, and interviews. 240 individual LEDs generate a

5500 K daylight-balanced light that creates warmth and

glow on your subject. This continuous light emits very

little heat, so it can be used for extended periods without

overheating, and it allows you to get up close for intimate

shots. A dimmer control affords the ability to change the

light output from 10% to 100%.This is a great feature when

environment conditions alter the amount of light needed

for proper exposure.

INTRODUCTION

OctaLux LED - USER MANUAL

The housing is sturdy, and the LEDs are not prone to

breakage like ﬂuorescent ﬁxtures, making the Genaray

OLED-55 ideal for everyday usage. The OctaLux LED Light

Softbox is 31.5˝ (80 cm) in diameter, and it attaches with

tension rods to the integrated speed ring, making setup a

snap. Additionally, you have the option of three diffusion

attachments. The diffusers help soften the light output,

which is more ﬂattering and minimizes harsh shadows.
