Genaray CRV-5 Overview

From Manufacturer

The Genaray 5" Curved Bi-Color SMD LED On-Camera Light is a variable color temperature light fixture with a range of 3200 to 5600K and dimming from 100 to 10% brightness. It features a total of 128 SMD LEDs (64 daylight and 64 tungsten) with a CRI over 95 for good color reproduction. The fixture is curved and features a 120° beam spread without the diffusion, and a 140° spread when you add the magnetically attached diffusion.

The fixture features a dedicated on/off switch with separate dials to control color temperature and dimming. An integrated 2500mAh lithium-ion battery powers the fixture, and it charges via a USB Type-C port. Included with the fixture is a mounting bracket that enables mounting onto an accessory cold shoe or a 1/4"-20 threaded stud. A carrying pouch holds the entire light package securely.

The curved design of the fixture helps prevent the light from casting the multiple shadows associated with non-curved array-type LED light fixtures. Adding the magnetically attached diffusion further softens the already smooth output.
  • 64 tungsten-balanced SMD LEDs
  • 64 daylight-balanced SMD LEDs
  • CRI rating of 95
  • Heavy white diffusion spreads the beam angle to 140°, while only absorbing 1/3rd of the output.
  • Integrated battery runs the fixture approximately 1.5 hours at maximum and recharges in 5 hours.
  • The fixture features a USB Type-C port for charging
  • You can charge the fixture while it is in use
  • An LED indicator shines green when the light is powered on and red when connected to power
  • The mounting bracket can be attached to either the top or bottom of the unit

Genaray CRV-5 Reviews

Great on-camera light with very smooth illumination.

By Michael
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2024-11-11

This light is excellent and maybe under-appreciated. The translucent white plastic cover clings magnetically and securely to the front and provides superior even and smooth illumination. You may not even notice the individual LEDs since they are mostly not visible due to especially excellent diffusion. A downside is that unlike competitors it does not have an lcd display to show battery charge or other information. But a bonus is that this unit is lighter than some of the lights in its class. Highly recommended! I love this light.

Excellent solution to kill face hard shadows!
