genaray T40-D Trailblazer Portable 40 W Daylight LED Monolight

INTRODUCTION

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING GENARAY
Genaray’s compact and portable Trailblazer features a COB LED array that offers bright, flicker-free light that’s perfect for photo and video shoots in the studio or on location. The fixture runs on a readily available NP-F battery or on AC power, and despite its size, it serves up 8010 lux to illuminate your subjects with an extremely high degree of color accuracy. The Trailblazer weighs slightly over a pound and packs up in its own carry bag for portability and includes a tilt adapter for light-stand mounting.
A diffuser lens softens the beam and delivers a single-shadow light with soft edges that bathes subjects in natural, daylight-balanced light. And thanks to the Trailblazer’s circular COB and lens, it also provides a natural-looking catchlight. For extra directionality or texture, the integrated Bowens accessory mount is compatible with a host of easy-to-attach accessories.

OVERVIEW

CHARGING THE BATTERY

The Trailblazer includes a charger for the rechargeable NP-F battery.

1. Slide the battery onto the battery plate, and attach the battery plate to the charger by sliding the plate into the charger.
2. Swivel the plug out of the notch, and plug the charger into an available AC outlet. The indicator light on the charger will glow red when the battery is charging, and green when the battery is charged.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY

Slide the battery into the battery slot until it locks in place.
To remove the battery, press the battery release and slide the battery out of the slot.
Pro Tip: The battery loses some of its charges when not in use. If the battery has not been in use for several months, Genaray recommends fully recharging the battery before a shoot.

PREPARING FOR USE

MOUNTING ON A LIGHT STAND
Important! Always support the Trailblazer with one hand when mounting or adjusting the angle until all locks and connections are tight and secure.
The Trailblazer can be mounted directly to a light stand that has a 5/8-inch receiver.

USING THE TILT ADAPTER
Before mounting the Trailblazer to a light stand with the tilt adapter, make sure the tilt lock is completely tightened.

1. Loosen the locking knobs.
2. Place the tilt adapter onto a light stand, and tighten the locking knob until secure.
3. Place the Trailblazer’s baby pin into the tilt adapter’s receiver, and tighten the locking knob until secure.
4. To adjust the angle of the light, loosen the tilt lock while supporting the light with one hand. Adjust the light’s angle, and retighten until secure.

ATTACHING AN UMBRELLA
The tilt adapter has an integrated umbrella mount. To attach an umbrella, follow these steps:

1. Loosen the umbrella lock, and insert the umbrella shaft through the tilt adapter.
2. Adjust the umbrella’s distance from the light, and retighten the umbrella lock.

ATTACHING A REFLECTOR OR LIGHT-SHAPING ACCESSORY
The Trailblazer features an integrated Bowens mount that accommodates most Bowens-compatible accessories such as reflectors, softboxes, grids, and snoots.
To attach a Bowens-mount accessory:

1. Insert the mounting pegs on the accessory into the Trailblazer’s Bowens mount.
2. Turn the reflector clockwise until it’s snug, and tighten the fix screw.

To remove the reflector, loosen the fix screw, and turn the reflector counterclockwise to slide it out of the mount.

POWERING THE TRAILBLAZER

USING THE TRAILBLAZER WITH BATTERY POWER

1. Make sure the power knob is in the off position of the barrel connector from the DC input if it’s plugged in.
2. Install the battery (see installing the battery above).
3. Turn on the Trailblazer.

The battery status indicator on the LCD screen will display the remaining battery power relative to the brightness level.

USING THE TRAILBLAZER WITH AC POWER

1. Make sure the power knob is in the off position. Remove the battery from the battery slot if it’s installed.
2. Plug the AC adapter into the Trailbazer’s DC power input, and then connect it to an AC outlet with the included AC power cord.
