Genaray Soft Strip Bi-Color Overview

Offering a soft wraparound quality thanks to its long, narrow form factor and 1024 bright LEDs, the 36" long Soft Strip LED Light from Genaray is a versatile fixture with features that are easy to use in the studio or on location. The light has a continuously adjustable bi-color temperature range from 3000 to 5600K, with a high CRI/TLCI rating of 98.3/99, an indicator of precise color rendering. The SSL-836B features an all-digital dimmer for single-digit adjustment control throughout the dimming range from 100% all the way down to 0%. Other dimmers without this functionality can exhibit abrupt falloff below 10%, greatly limiting their dynamic range.

The SSL-836B runs barely warm to the touch, allowing you to work close to the subject without causing discomfort or hot light hazards. The power-saving light produces an output of 3600 lux at 3' while consuming just 112W of power, helping you keep the temperature of your set and your operational costs down.

The long strip fixture can be used vertically or horizontally for dramatic results. In vertical orientation, the SSL-836B is ideal for use as a sidelight or for dramatic lighting. It also creates long, elegant reflections when shooting products. In horizontal mode, the light has a wraparound quality with appealing falloff at the top and bottom of the frame. Another use is overhead as a hair light.

The SSL-836B has a beam angle coverage of 66 degrees, which can be modified and controlled by its two-way barndoors. The fixture comes with a multi-voltage adapter that makes it ready for world use, but it can also run on optional V-Mount batteries when AC power is unavailable. A hard carrying case is included to store and transport the light.

Horizontal or Vertical Orientation
The long, thin form factor gives a wraparound quality when used horizontally. Used vertically, it's well-suited for a sidelight or for lighting objects and casting a long, elegant reflection.
2-Way Barndoors
This simple but effective modifier allows you to swing one or more leaves into the light's beam for selective lighting of your subject.
Lollipop Mount
The mount incorporates a ball head attachment with ratchet handle that provides precise fine-tuning and adjustment of the light's position. Using it gives 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.
AC or Optional Battery Power
The SSL-836B ships with a multi-voltage 100-240 VAC power supply but it can also run on V-Mount batteries when mains power is unavailable.
Even Illumination
The SSL-836B provides even illumination along its 36" length without noticeable hot spots. When shooting full-length portraits or group shots, this fixture bathes your subjects in soft and diffuse wraparound light without multiple shadows.
Cool Running
The SSL-836B runs barely warm to the touch, allowing you to work close to your subject without discomfort and without wasting time waiting for the fixture to cool down.
Dimming
The SSL-836B features an all-digital dimmer for single-digit adjustment control throughout the dimming range from 100% all the way down to 0%. Other dimmers without this functionality can exhibit abrupt falloff below 10%, greatly limiting their dynamic range.
Quiet Operation
The light's fanless convection cooling is a valuable asset in sound-sensitive environments.
Wireless Operation
The SSL-836B's control box features an integrated wireless transmitter and receiver, allowing it to control multiple compatible lights. It also features 4-channel operation and includes a removable antenna. It can be controlled remotely using the separately available SSL-RC remote control unit.
