Offering a soft wraparound quality thanks to its long, narrow form factor and 512 bright LEDs, the 36" long Genaray Bi-Color 36" Soft Strip 2-Light C-Standsfrom Genaray Bi-Color 36" Soft Strip 2-Light C-Standsis 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.

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.

This simple but effective modifier allows you to swing one or more leaves into the light's beam for selective lighting of your subject.

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.

The SSL-36B ships with a multi-voltage 100-240 VAC power supply but it can also run on V-Mount batteries when mains power is unavailable.

The SSL-36B 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.

The SSL-36B 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.

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 light's fanless convection cooling is a valuable asset in sound-sensitive environments.

The SSL-36B's control box features an integrated wireless transmitter and receiver, allowing it to control multiple compatible lights. It features 4-channel operation and includes a removable antenna. It can also be controlled remotely using the separately available SSL-RC remote control unit.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this light power onto the same settings if you cut power to it?

A: Yes, powering off the Genaray SSL-36B Soft Strip Bi-Color LED Light (4 x 36") it keeps it settings.

Q: 2. 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?

A: 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.

Q: 3. How would these compare to the old Kino Flo Tegra 4 Bank?

A: The Tegra is of course a different size and shape and has a higher output.

A: These lights can be used to light a green screen.

Q: 5. are the barn doors removable?

A: Yes.

A: Genaray covers the SSL-36B for 1 year against defects.

Q: 8. Any thoughts on a make up artist using this light for what they do?

A: This will work very nicely for a make up artist & it comes with batteries.

[1x Barndoors] C-Stands are great. I just wished it included the extension arm. Saddle sand bags are good enough. Genaray BiColor LED lights are very good. I wished they could come with a bit more professional finishing -- you can tell they aren't like KinoFlo or something like that. But they work great, aren't that heavy. And the light is VERY GOOD! 5

[Yes] I have almost the entire line of Genaray SSL series, and I have been using the SSL-50 Daylight (my first one) for as long as 2 years for productions of Corporate interviews, B roll, background accents and occasionally for music video, in addition to the SSL-836B (8X36) and the SSL-50B. I'm going to utilize the SSL-MiniB mostly for hair light, which is perfect. It gives a soft and pleasant light when I don't want hard light for hair. The SSL Mini-B size provides exactly what I want for that purpose since the size and length is right, plus the barn doors help me control the light exactly where I want it to illuminate. You can certainly use the SSL-MiniB as a keylight if that's the only one you have available. It will provide a soft and pleasant light. For being a smaller and yet soft light, as a key light interview, if you bring it as close as possible to the subject, for more artistic lighting control, instead of the usual big light source softbox, it can actually provide an interesting look, with specific areas of face or body that you want lit, and even some spots for a different mood and look with the barn doors, you can even accentuate that effect further, yet, with a soft light. You can't see the LEDs, thanks to its heavy diffuser plate. I really like the mini version of the SSL series. It's just what was missing! It's very portable, fast to setup as it doesn't require any ballast. Simply Install the two required (not included) Sony NPF batteries, and turn it on. For being so lightweight, about 3 lbs, it is the simplest loads you could have on a Boom. The lollipop mount allows you to aim the light at any position, vertical, horizontal or angled. Very pleased. If you'd like more information about the Genaray SSL-MiniB, I made a review on Youtube specifically for it.

[2.4 GHz] For the cost, I'm pretty impressed. This kit seems to be built well for repeated use. The light itself is a great soft light that can wrap around your subject but also can be used for dramatic lighting. It's super versatile. The only con is that it may take a bit more time to put up. 5
