Genaray Soft Strip Bi-Color Overview

Offering a soft wraparound quality thanks to its long, narrow form factor and 400 bright LEDs, the 50" Soft Bi-Color Strip LED Light from Genaray is a versatile fixture that is easy to use in the studio or on location. The light has color temperature variable from 3000 to 5600K to seamlessly fit into ambient light situations, match other fixtures, or just exercise creative freedom. High CRI and TLCI ratings are your assurance of precise reproduction of colors. Light intensity is variable from 1 to 100% for a 6-stop range. And while you can make these adjustments locally on the fixture, you can also make them wirelessly from distances up to 100' with purchase of the optional Genaray the SSL-RC remote control.

The long strip fixture can be used vertically or horizontally for dramatic results. The SSL-50B is great for edge lighting a subject or creating even lighting for backdrops and green screens. It's also a great choice when you want to create dramatic accent lighting behind your subject. The SSL-50B has a beam angle coverage of 75°, which can be modified using the built-in barndoors. The fixture comes with a multi-voltage adapter that makes it ready for worldwide use, but it can also run on optional V-mount batteries when AC power is unavailable. A carrying case is included to store and transport the light.

Bi-Color Light
The SSL-50B boasts a 3000 to 5600K color temperature range to match any ambient light situation, match other fixtures, or just to exercise creative expression.
Even Illumination
The fixture provides soft illumination along its 50" length useful for full-length portraits, lighting backgrounds, or group shots.
Horizontal or Vertical Orientation
The long, thin form factor gives a wraparound quality when used horizontally, and works well as a sidelight when used vertically to provide edge lighting to your subject or to create even lighting on a background.
Barndoors
The integrated barndoors allow you to shape and direct the beam to your exact needs. Use them to cut the light to a narrow beam and create a thin line of light on a subject.
Battery or Plug-In Power
The light operates on either V-mount battery or universal AC power for studio or location shooters.
Lollipop Mount
The mount incorporates a ball head attachment with a ratchet handle to provide precise fine tuning and adjustment and offering you the option to quickly change the light's orientation from horizontal to vertical or to any position within the ball head's 360° adjustable range.
Wireless Control
With separate purchase of Genaray's SSL-RC remote you can adjust the color and light intensity from up to 100' away.
Stepless Dimming
The dimming buttons adjust the brightness from 1 to 100% in 1° increments for a full 6-stop range.
Quiet Operation
The SSL-50B operates quietly without a fan. That's good news if you're lighting a video shoot and want to record live sound or dialog. The heat sink effectively dissipates heat and makes it possible to operate the fixture for long periods without overheating.
Multi-Voltage
The SSL-50B can run on North American and international voltages. Take it with you, even if you're leaving the country to shoot abroad. All you need is an inexpensive plug adapter.
Cool Running
The SSL-50B runs barely warm to the touch so you can work close to your subject without discomfort and without losing time waiting for the fixture to cool down before packing.

I'm considering using two of these for copy work. Is the bicolor version and the 5600 only version different brightnesses. If I'm mostly using the 5600 daylight setting, should I get the bicolor version? Do the extra LEDs increase the brightness at the 5600 level?
Asked by: Michael
For maximum brightness you should get the Daylight version. The Bi color splits the Led's in half so you get only half the output compared to Daylight.

The flat diffuser in front of the LEDS cause the light to difuse and spread over a wide srea with soft shadows over all. The the adjustable bard doors help to keep the diffused light from speading too far.
