OLED-55 OCTALUX LED USER MANUAL OctaLux LED - USER MANUAL 1
OctaLux LED INTRODUCTION 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. 2 OctaLux LED - USER MANUAL
TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction...2-3 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.
