Comments about Bowens Gemini 1500Pro Monolight (90-130/190-250VAC):
I photograph paintings and sculptures on location and have used the Gemini 1500's for almost a year. They have given me stellar performance. The parabolic reflectors are the most efficient and even reflectors I've ever used.
The units give consistent, predictable light that is clean. Their output with the parabolic reflectors is decent, a photographer always wants more, but I can live with these.
They are huge, long and tall. But if the cost of this level of dependability is only this, I can live with it.
