The Genaray 60 Watt Square LED light can work well as a single studio light. But I think the best use would be as a fill or rim light when paired with the Genaray 120W Twin light. Check out my review on that light.

I’m all in for this light as a videographer’s friend. Beautiful light. I only recommend these two lights for stills photographers if they have a studio set for commercial product or head-shot portrait business.

Here’s the Genaray Square 60 kit. LED light, power cord and safety cable.

Video power

This is a great studio fill light for video interviews. Adding a battery makes it a solid location light if you are working with a crew and want gorgeous light while being out of the weather. You need the crew because of the weight of the light and you’ll need a solid support stand as well. The white cover over the 896 LEDS is perfect for spreading the light very nicely.

Photo power

The light can be used as a single light for stills photography in the studio as long as your subject is not moving. The shape and form of the light is flattering and useful. Even better I see this as a great fill light as I mentioned when paired with the Genaray 120W Twin light.

Barn doors are made well and will stay where you put them.
I really appreciate the power pack holder design. Saves trying to figure out what to do with the power block and will save wear and tear on the cords.

Location

With no specific carrying case to protect this light I recommend keeping the box in which this is packed and shipped. It’s a pretty strong box with a built in carry handle. The packing materials for keeping things in place are stronger than normal and you should end up OK if you are not traveling and unpacking/packing as a matter of course.
