Comments about Bowens Gemini 200 Monolight (120VAC/12VDC):
I use this for location shoots. It's small and lightweight. Perfect for my background stand. I think the only downside is that it doesn't have the two separate dials like it's 500r cousins, but it works for what I need it for, so who cares, really?!

Comments about Bowens Gemini 200 Monolight (120VAC/12VDC):
I like to get this light because it's analog, no digital and more easy to control than digital version. I've pain for Bowen digital version due to no manual included and digital have only three digit text then you've to rotate the knob the get all the control like sound, modeling on/off, switch on/off, user setting, program and so on. Get headache. I finally sell it and buy analog version which is more easy to use.
