Frequently Asked Questions - Octa Softbox Genaray

How do I assemble the Genaray Octa Softbox?

Insert the metal rods into the speed ring, then attach the fabric to the rods. Finally, attach the inner baffle and front diffuser with hook-and-loop fasteners.

Which light mounts is the softbox compatible with?

It uses a Bowens-compatible speed ring, so it works with most studio strobes and speedlights that have a Bowens mount adapter.

Can I use this softbox with a speedlight?

Yes, but you will need a Bowens-to-speedlight adapter (sold separately) to attach your speedlight to the speed ring.

What is the diameter of the softbox?

The octagonal softbox has a diameter of 100 cm (39 inches), providing a large, soft light source.

Does it come with a carrying bag?

Yes, the Genaray Octa Softbox includes a padded carrying bag for convenient transport and storage.

How do I clean the softbox?

Use a dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the fabric. For the diffusers, gently hand wash with mild soap and air dry completely before reattaching.

Is the diffuser removable?

Yes, both the inner baffle and the front diffuser are removable and can be replaced if damaged.

What is the maximum wattage recommended?

We recommend using a light source up to 500W (or equivalent) to avoid overheating and damaging the fabric.

Can I replace the speed ring or rods?

Yes, spare parts such as speed rings and rods are available separately. The softbox is designed for easy repair.

Is the softbox collapsible?

Yes, it collapses quickly for storage. Simply remove the diffusers, press the rods out of the speed ring, and fold the fabric.

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING GENARAY

The Genaray SpectroLED 14 LED Flood Light fixture provides photographers and videographers with a bright and continuous daylight-balance light source with broad 120° coverage. This 120 W LED fixture can operate on AC power, and it features flicker-free dimming from 100% to 10% along with a high CRI for precise color accuracy and rendering.

This LED fixture features SDM technology for the widest coverage offered by LED lights. When used with its dedicated 31.5-inch octagonal softbox (sold separately), the light delivers an even, wraparound light that's perfect for portrait photography as well as video interviews. For multi-light setups, the dimmer can be controlled from up to 100 feet away with Genaray's wireless remote (sold separately). Because LED lights produce very little heat, the SpectroLED 14 can be used for extended periods without overheating.

USING THE SPECTROLED 14 WITH AC POWER

MOUNTING AN UMBRELLA

Important! Ⓓ️

Make sure the light is turned off before mounting an umbrella.

Insert the umbrella into the umbrella socket located in the center of the LED array.

Adjust the umbrella as necessary. The pressure from the umbrella socket will hold the umbrella in place.
