The Rayden RW5 Daylight LED Light for Studio & Fieldfrom Rayden RW5 Daylight LED Light for Studio & Fieldis built into a heavy-duty molded plastic chassis providing a lightweight yet strong fixture with enhanced features such as 100-10% flicker-free dimming, LCD display, and an included wireless remote. It produces a 50° beam spread and the barndoors feature integrated gel clips.

The fixture is DC powered, incorporating a 4-pin XLR connector and including an AC/DC power supply for mains power. Interchangeable Gold and V-Mount plates are included so no worrying about getting the fixture that matches your battery system. The four-leaf barndoors provide control over light spill, and feature removable light intensifiers to suit your taste. The yoke is angled forward 30°, which allows you to open the barndoors all the way without hitting the yoke when the light is pointed straight forward. The yoke has a combo Baby pin/Junior stud so you can mount it on a stand or hang it from a grid with optional clamps.

The big yellow knob on the back of the unit controls the dimming of the unit. It features an indent for fingertip control and is positioned at the edge of the fixture, which is cut away allowing you to adjust the knob from the side of the unit when the back is difficult to access. You can also use the included wireless remote to control the dimming.

While some users may enjoy the small increase in light output that intensifiers bring, other users prefer to use barndoors without intensifiers. The removable intensifiers that come with this light attach securely to the barndoors. You do not have to attach all four intensifiers, which allows you choose how many barndoors to use for intensifying your output and how many barndoors to use to cut spill.

The top and bottom barndoors integrate gel clips for attaching diffusion or gels.

The fixture features an interchangeable Gold Mount battery plate. Removing four screws and disconnecting the snap connector allows you to swap out the Gold Mount battery plate for the included V-Mount plate.

On the back of the fixture is an LCD info screen that displays the battery power remaining and brightness percentage.

Q: 5. Would the bracket fit on a dslr with a battery grip?

A: While it would depend on which camera you own, as a rule, I would not recommend using the Vello CB-510 Dual Shoe Bracket in the kit with a DSLR camera with a battery grip. If you are using one of the smaller, entry level cameras that may have a battery grip, it may fit (all depending on where the screw to connect the bracket to the grip and if it provides enough clearance for the flash). However, most entry level cameras do not have battery grips, and the mid-size cameras with grips would be too large for use. This would specifically depend on the equipment you own, but the safe rule is to use it without the battery grip on your camera.
