Product Information

The Bowens Esprit Gemini Two Head, 1000 Watt/Second total AC/DC Monolight Kit operates on 110-120 volts AC or with its own optional Travel Pak Battery System. When away from AC power, the optional Travel-Pak is able to power two monolights simultaneously, with a total power of up to 1500 w/s. It is capable of recycling one 500 w/s unit to full charge in 4.5 seconds, and can offer one unit over 200 full-power flashes on a single charge.

The monolights can power down to 1/32 power, which makes them very suitable for use with digital cameras and for augmenting sunlight outdoors. The 250 watt modeling lights may be powered down with the main power.

This kit is completed with two umbrellas, which soften the light for a more pleasing portrait. Also included are compact light stands, sync cord, and padded wheeled kit bag.

Features

• Weather Resistant Battery Available

The optional Travel Pak has a fast/slow charge option to prolong battery life, and a carry bag offering protection from the elements and from up to three inches of water.

• Adjustable Modeling Light

Brightness may be adjusted with the level of the flash power, or left on full, or turned off.

• System Wide Compatibility

Compatible with all Bowens flash head accessories.

• Easy Aiming

Open-ended yoke design permits more angled positioning of the monolight.
