DMX and Manual Controls on the Genray Square Sun SS-12

You can access adjustments via the back of the fixture or onboard a DMX controller. We recommend connecting all of them together with a DMX controller for quick and effective changes from one location. This will save you time.

Overview

These panels are a versatile fixture with features that make it a pleasure to use in the studio or on location. The light has a color temperature that’s variable from 3200 to 5600K or anywhere in between to match other fixtures or ambient light conditions or just for creative effects. Light intensity is also conveniently variable from 100 to 10% without flicker and both functions can be adjusted either on the light or remotely thanks to onboard DMX512.

It runs barely warm to the touch, allowing you to work close to the subject without causing discomfort or hot light hazards. It produces a high output of 2565 lux @ 3.3′ while consuming just 100W of power and maintaining a high CRI/TLCI rating of 96, indicating faithful and precise rendering of colors. The Square Sun 1×1′ also has a wide coverage of 120 degrees which can be modified and controlled by its removable 4-way barn doors. The barn doors have gel clips to mount diffusion and other materials to alter the quality of light.

Types of Uses

We highly recommend the Genaray Square Sun 1×1 Bi-Color Soft LED Flood Light Fixture the next time you are looking for something similar to the Litepanel, Gemini, Astra, Fiilex, Aputure, Wescott, Lowel, Arri, Kino Flo, Quasar, Intellytech, Hive, Digital or Sputnik to shoot your next movie, short film, documentary, music video, interview, demonstration, meeting live stream or youtube video. These look great for lighting up backdrops, stages, sets, too. Zoom, Facebook Live, Youtube, Vimeo can really benefit from proper lighting.

Additional Features

  • Bright LEDs Employing 1024 bright LEDs, the SS-12 outputs up to 2565 lux @ 3.3′.
  • High CRI The light’s high CRI is an indication of the faithful and precise rendering of color.
  • Battery or AC Power The SS-12 has a multi-voltage 100-240 VAC power supply but will also run on two optional V-Mount batteries when AC power is unavailable.
  • Cool Running The Square Sun’s LEDs run barely warm to the touch allowing you to work close to your subject without discomfort and without losing time waiting for the fixture to cool down.
  • Fan Cooling The built-in fan is operated by a dedicated on/off switch. To avoid noise that can be picked up by a microphone, the fan can be turned off. Like most LEDs, there is a power drop when the fan is turned off, but the Square Sun only minimally drops to 80% brightness. If you’re operating at less than 80% brightness, there will be no change.
  • Barndoors with Filter Clips The included removable barn doors have filter clips to attach diffusion and other light modifying materials.
  • Single Shadow The recessed LEDs bounce the light off the interior reflector and they are softened by an integrated diffuser panel yielding a bright and punchy light with a soft wrap-around quality that eliminates multiple shadows often associated with LED lighting.

5 Ideas for Event Lighting

10/23/19

Lighting is crucial to the success of your event. Well placed lights create ambience and will also allow you to get more impact from other event elements such as décor and flower arrangements. Lighting is also a great way to direct/attract your guests to areas of importance! We came up with ways to get a perfectly lit event!

Gobos, simply stated, is a beam of light with a metal stencil over it that creates a pattern. Our gobos can project any design or pattern including abstract shapes, patterns, pictures, and company logos. Gobos can go almost anywhere and work well with any type of event from corporate conventions to weddings and galas! If you want to add MAJOR visual impact to your next event ask us about our gobo options!

Looking to create atmoshpere in an empty ballroom, gallery or conference center? Then uplighting is the answer for you! Rooms can look bare and boring if you do not use perimeter lighting. Uplighting is also a great way to tie in a color that goes with your event theme which can create that WOW! factor.

Pin lighting is an excellent way to direct attention to important event elements. It can create a dramatic effect that can transform centerpieces, table settings, artwork, and even wedding cakes! Pin lighting will give your guests a totally dynamic visual experience at the event!

Cafe lighting, also called bistro string lights, are just amazing over open-air weddings and events.  They creates an event space in the absence of a tent and provide both functional ( and beautiful) lighting at the same time!  Our design options are always custom and largely depend on the venue and client’s wishes!

Audio Visual Production Misconceptions

We wanted to chat about some of the most common misconceptions about the audio visual production industry. “Its just lights so it should be cheap, right?” or what about “The cost of labor is too expensive!”, and “This isn’t complicated so anyone can set it up”.

Lets look at lighting. This is a major aspect of event production, event atmosphere depends on it! Lighting sets the mood and ties all the décor together for your event. The lights we use to create magic are of a super specialized technology which require a lot of maintenance and upkeep! The lighting consoles we use to control these lights are complex and require constant updating and technician training. There’s a lot that goes into this event aspect if you really think about it!

Labor costs are not as high as you may think considering all you are getting for your money. A well trained tech team is required to load in and set up audio, lighting and video equipment ( plus break down and load out post event). Also needed are riggers to ensure that everything is installed safely, as well as properly trained techs for safe wiring and to operate audio mixing and lighting boards. Our highly trained staff is a one stop shop! We offer all the things!

We assume your goal is to create a magical, memorable environment with seamless technical execution! We do that for our clients every day, but it isn’t always easy. The entire process of arriving at a finished product for you on event day is often a long one. Often starting with site visits, then design, scheduling & planning and finally implementation. Our highly trained technicians will be on hand the duration of your event to operate lighting and sound flawlessly.

We are absolutely ready to work within your budget so don’t be afraid to give us a call.

Cheaper AV Isn’t Better

Choosing the right AV company is crucial to the success of your event! In our experience, the cheaper audio visual company is not always the best way to go. Here’s why.

Cheaper company means older less reliable gear. At Fox, we are adamant about having the newest, high quality equipment. Not only is it cosmetically nicer to look at but it’s much more dependable as well. We don’t take any risks when it comes to our reputation (and yours, too!)

Cheaper also means your technicians will likely not be as experienced as the other guys. This is a no brainer, your more experienced and professional technicians will cost more to employ! Everyone knows that old saying “Ya get what ya pay for!”, and we have found this to be true.

Why take the risk with the cheap guys? The seamless execution of technical details are critical to your event or meeting’s success! And truth be told? The majority of audio visual production companies are willing to work within your budget. You just need to ask!
