MonoBright™ LED DAYLIGHT 1200 USER MANUAL MonoBright LED Daylight 1200 - USER MANUAL 1
Thank you for choosing Genaray. MonoBright™ LED DAYLIGHT 1200 INTRODUCTION The Genaray MonoBright™ LED 1200 incorporates the HiBrite microLED PCB, provides energy efficiency, high efficacy, and low heat in a small, lightweight monolight housing. The MonoBright emits an intense 14,000 lux (lx) of continuous light and draws only 100 W to deliver the equivalent output of a 1,200 W open-face tungsten light. Its single-chip LED offers outstanding longevity with 50,000 hours of use.
TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction.................................2-3 The MonoBright offers brightness adjustment from 100%–10%, which can be controlled from either the rear panel or the included 2.4 GHz wireless transmitter. With the transmitter, you can wirelessly adjust output for multiple MonoBright units—even at different outputs— making this a convenient tool for use in a sophisticated lighting setup.

MOUNTING THE MONOBRIGHT 1. Make sure the tilt adjustment knob is fully tightened. INSTRUCTIONS 2. Loosen the locking knob on the mounting socket and mount the MonoBright on your lightstand or other mounting equipment. 3. Tighten the locking knob until secure. You can adjust the tilt of the MonoBright by loosening the tilt adjustment knob. Keep one hand on the light to hold it steady.
MOUNTING ACCESSORIES INSTRUCTIONS THE ACCESSORY MOUNT After mounting the MonoBright, you will need to install the reflector or another light modifier. The MonoBright is equipped with an S-type accessory mount for attaching light-shaping tools like softboxes, beauty dishes, and snoots, as well as the included 7˝ umbrella/ grid reflector with an umbrella hole. Before mounting an accessory, remove the transport cover by pulling the accessory release and rotating the transport cover counterclockwise.
INSTRUCTIONS Note: When installing an accessory with an umbrella hole, such as the included reflector, make sure the accessory’s umbrella hole is aligned with the MonoBright’s umbrella receptacle located above the mounting socket. 2. Insert your accessory into the S-mount and rotate it clockwise until it locks into place. If desired, the included diffuser cover can be placed over the 7˝ reflector to help soften the light output.
POWERING THE MONOBRIGHT Important! Do not plug the MonoBright into an AC power source and a 12 V DC battery at the same time. Use only one power source at a time. Do not turn on the MonoBright while the transport cover is mounted. AC POWER To power the MonoBright via AC power, make sure the unit is turned off, and use the included AC cable to connect the MonoBright’s AC power inlet to your AC power source. INSTRUCTIONS There are two ways to power the MonoBright: AC or a 12 V DC battery.
INSTRUCTIONS 12 V DC BATTERY Important! To power the MonoBright via a 12 V DC battery, make sure both the MonoBright and the battery are turned off, and use a compatible Genaray MonoBright battery cable (available separately) to connect the MonoBright’s DC XLR power socket to your 12 V DC battery. Make sure to connect and disconnect the XLR plug only when the MonoBright’s power switch is in the Off position, and your 12 V DC battery is turned off if it has a power switch.
Bi-Color Power Output THE CONTROL Orange ( ) Blue ( ) PANEL Channel None SELECTING CHANNELS Channel Press the Mode button to switch between power output and channel modes. ADJUSTING POWER OUTPUT You can adjust the MonoBright’s power output from 10%–100%. The selected output appears on the display as 10–99, from dimmest to brightest. To adjust power output via the control panel, press the Plus ( ) or Minus ( ) buttons. Press once to adjust by one step, or press and hold to adjust rapidly.
THE WIRELESS TRANSMITTER INSTRUCTIONS Power Output Blue ( ) Bi-Color Orange ( ) Channel None Press the Mode button to cycle through the three modes. The status LEDs indicate the current mode. You can Output use the wireless transmitter to Power Channel control the MonoBright unit remotely from a distance of up to 98´ (30 m). The transmitter lets you adjust power output and activate sleep mode.
WIRELESSLY ADJUSTING POWER OUTPUT The transmitter can wirelessly adjust multiple MonoBrights to change them all to the same output. It also has a special 00 channel mode for adjusting the MonoBrights while they maintain separate outputs. Uniform Power Output: You can use the transmitter to wirelessly adjust the power output of one or more Genaray MonoBright units, setting them to the same output. To adjust the power output via the transmitter, follow these steps: 1.
Multiple Power Outputs: INSTRUCTIONS You can create a sophisticated lighting setup by positioning MonoBright units individually or in groups to function as main, fill, accent, and other lights. Setting the units at different power outputs to achieve specific looks affords a professional level of creative control. When using multiple MonoBright units at different output settings, you can adjust them incrementally with a single transmitter while maintaining the difference in their outputs.
b. Press the transmitter’s mode ( ) button repeatedly to cycle through the modes until the transmitter’s blue ( ) status LED glows to indicate output mode. Use the transmitter’s plus ( ) and minus ( ) buttons to adjust the MonoBright’s output. c. Repeat steps 2a and 2b for the other MonoBright units in your lighting setup. 3. Set the transmitter’s channel to 00 and quickly press the transmitter’s power ( ) button to confirm. INSTRUCTIONS will glow.
SLEEP MODE MonoBright: INSTRUCTIONS The MonoBright incorporates a sleep mode that is activated by the transmitter. To activate the MonoBright’s sleep mode, press and hold the transmitter’s power ( ) button in output mode until the MonoBright’s LED turns off and “OF” appears on the displays of both the MonoBright and the transmitter. To reactivate the MonoBright, press the transmitter’s power ( ) button.
REPLACING THE FUSE INSTRUCTIONS The MonoBright’s user-replaceable fuse protects the unit’s circuitry. The fuse is located on the rear of the unit. To replace the fuse, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the MonoBright and unplug the power cable. 2. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the fuse bay. Push in and rotate in the direction of the arrow until the fuse bay is protruding. 3. Remove the old fuse and replace it with a spare. 4. Reinsert the fuse bay into the MonoBright.
