MonoBright™ LED BI-COLOR 750 USER MANUAL MonoBright LED Bi-Color 750 - USER MANUAL 1
Thank you for choosing Genaray. MonoBright™ LED BI-COLOR 750 INTRODUCTION The Genaray MonoBright™ LED Bi-Color 750 incorporates the HiBrite Bi-Color microLED PCB to provide energy efficiency, high efficacy, and low heat in a compact, lightweight monolight housing. The MonoBright Bi-Color emits an intense 8,000 lux (lx) of continuous light and draws only 100 W to deliver the equivalent output of a 750 W open-face tungsten light. Its microLED circuitry offers outstanding longevity with 50,000 hours of use.
TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction.................................2-3 The MonoBright LED Bi-Color offers brightness adjustment from 100%–10%, which can be controlled from either the rear panel or an optional 2.4 GHz wireless transmitter. The transmitter can also control the unit’s color temperature, making it a convenient remote 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 BiColor 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 Bi-Color, you will need to attach the reflector or another light modifier. The MonoBright BiColor 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.
INSTRUCTIONS Note: When attaching 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 stretched over the 7˝ reflector to help soften the light output.
POWERING THE MONOBRIGHT Important! Do not turn on the MonoBright Bi-Color while the transport cover is mounted. AC POWER To power the MonoBright Bi-Color via AC power, make sure the unit is turned off. Connect the AC cable to the AC/ DC adapter and a wall outlet, and then connect the adapter’s XLR connector to the MonoBright Bi-Color’s XLR input. INSTRUCTIONS There are two ways to power the MonoBright Bi-Color: AC or a 12 V DC battery. To turn on the MonoBright BiColor, press the power switch.
INSTRUCTIONS 12 V DC BATTERY Important! To power the MonoBright Bi-Color via a 12 V DC battery, make sure both the MonoBright Bi-Color and the battery are turned off, and use a compatible Genaray MonoBright battery cable to connect the MonoBright Bi-Color’s DC XLR power socket to your 12 V DC battery. Both the battery and the cable are available separately.
THE CONTROL PANEL ADJUSTING POWER OUTPUT Bi-Color Orange ( ) Channel None Press the knob to switch between power output and bi-color modes. Press and hold the knob to enter the channel mode. The status LEDs indicate the current mode. Power Output Channel None Blue ( ) are made via the control Adjustments panel’s dimmer knob. The knob is graduated, so each notch is one increment. Quickly moving the knob will accelerate the speed at which you’ll reach the top or bottom of the scale.
INSTRUCTIONS ADJUSTING COLOR TEMPERATURE SELECTING CHANNELS You can adjust the MonoBright Bi-Color’s color temperature from 3200–5600 K. The selected color temperature appears on the display as 32–56, from warmest to coolest. On the MonoBright Bi-Color, 99 channels (1–99) are available. You can use this option with the optional wireless transmitter to remotely control your MonoBright BiColor’s output and color temperature.
INSTRUCTIONS When adjusting power output or color temperature via the wireless transmitter (available separately), the output value will not appear on the MonoBright Bi-Color’s display if the unit is in color temperature mode, and vice versa. To display the value, you can manually change the mode on the MonoBright Bi-Color’s control panel (see Adjusting Power Output on page 15 and Adjusting Color Temperature on page 16).
