Ideal for small to medium-size productions, B&H has put together this Genaray Hex Lighting 36" Soft Strip 6-Light Pro Kit with Aluminum Stands for image makers who require a comprehensive lighting system for the studio that can also run on batteries in locations that don't have AC power available. The kit comes with six 36" SSL-36 Bi-Color Strip Lights, each with 2-way barndoors, an AC adapter, and a battery plate for optional V-mount batteries. Also included are five heavy-duty 9.5' air-cushioned light stands, a Combo Boom Stand to use one of the lights overhead, a two-section backlight stand, and two Super Clamps with 5/8" snap-in pins. Seven 15 lb filled orange sandbags are also included as counterweights for the lights.
Offering a soft wraparound quality thanks to its long, narrow form factor and 512 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 3200 to 5600K, with a high CRI/TLCI rating of 95.6/98, an indicator of precise color rendering. The SSL-36B 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-36B 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 977 lux at 3' while consuming just 56W 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-36B 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-36B has a beam angle coverage of 110 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.
This Impact Heavy-Duty Air-Cushioned Light Stand is a black anodized aluminum support that rises to a height of 9.5' and folds down to 42" for storage and transport. The stand will handle up to 22 lb and is topped with a removable 5/8" spigot with 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads. It has a wide footprint of 52" for greater stability. Air cushioning gently lowers the light when making height adjustments to protect equipment and fingers.
The Impact Combo Boom Stand is a clever lighting support solution that provides you with a strong 12.95' stand with a 19.8 lb load capacity when used in the traditional way, or a 7' boom that supports 4.4 lb when extended to 60", and 3 lb when fully extended. The legs feature heavy-duty bracing and a wide footprint of 43" for extra stability. The black anodized aluminum Combo Boom Stand ships with a 5/8" reversible spigot and an empty Cordura nylon sandbag counterweight capable of holding 15 lb of ballast.
Made of thick, weather- and water-resistant Cordura nylon, the 15 lb Filled Orange Saddle Sandbag from Impact is a staple in studios or on location for stabilizing light stands, booms, tripods, and backgrounds. The bag has rugged and durable assembly throughout. It features a double-zipper design for safe containment and removal of the sand, as well as a webbed handle for hanging or moving.
This sandbag is made with bright orange fabric for high visibility, both on set and on location.
This 3' Impact Back Light Stand consists of a base and riser. Use the lower part as a base to place a mounted light at floor or table level, as low as 5.5". Add the extension to the base to raise the height of the light from 22.8" (57.9 cm) to a maximum of 3' (90 cm). The stand is constructed of black anodized aluminum.
The Impact Super Clamp with Ratchet Handle is a versatile multigrip tool made of lightweight cast aluminum alloy. With a load capacity of 33 lb, it can hold a wide variety of items such as cameras, lights, umbrellas, hooks, shelves, plate glass, cross bars, and other Super Clamps.
The Super Clamp can be securely mounted on any tube or pipe from 0.5" to 2.1" and is supplied with a wedge insert for clamping onto flat surfaces. The ratchet handle allows you to disengage and tighten it down from any angle, a very handy feature when using the clamp in tight quarters that don't allow 360° rotation. A snap-in hex socket holds 5/8" accessories such as the supplied hex stud with 1/4"-20 screw.
The 4.7" black 5/8" Snap-In Pin for Super Clamps from Impact has a 5/8" (16mm) non-threaded spigot attachment on one end, and the hexagonal Super Clamp-type fitting on the other. It can be used to connect a lighting fixture that has a 5/8" female receptor to a Super Clamp. It is constructed from aluminum and comes finished in black.
