Litepanels Gemini 2x1 Overview

This Gemini 2x1 Soft RGB LED Light Panel from Litepanels is an aluminum-constructed, 25 x 6.5 x 12.5" fixture with three lighting modes. The CCT color temperature control has six factory presets in increments from 2700 to 10,000K. There are also six presets for user-defined color temperature and plus/minus green control. The HSI color mode allows you to adjust the hue, saturation, and intensity, while Gel mode permits your choice from a library of often-used filters. A firmware update adds a Lighting Effects mode that includes TV simulation, hue burst, paparazzi, strobe, fire, squares, fireworks, emergency lights, pulse, and party lights.

The Gemini is dimmable from 100 to 0% without flicker or color shift. Settings and features are displayed on the rear LCD screen.

All of these adjustments can be made locally on the unit or remotely via a console, thanks to the Gemini's built-in DMX. There's even the option of wireless DMX or Bluetooth control via a separately-purchased remote module. The Gemini is ready for worldwide use, thanks to its built-in 100 to 240 VAC power supply but it can also run on batteries when power is unavailable.

The Gemini has a number of convenience features, such as the ability to stack and gang several lights together with an optional yoke and hardware. You can also daisy-chain multiple lights together in Master/Slave mode, allowing a single designated master light to control the others. This version of the Gemini ships with a standard yoke and a US power cable.

3 Lighting Modes
  • CCT (Correlated Color Temperature) mode allows for bi-color (daylight to tungsten) operation with the addition of plus and minus green adjustment
  • HSI color mode allows for full control over hue, saturation, and intensity

  • RDM - Personalities reprioritized for more frequently used settings

Litepanels Gemini 2x1 Reviews

I'm going to order a second one

By leonard
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-04-08

So, I only got my unit recently, and to be honest, I haven't used it on a job yet. I'm a network news photographer (it's video, even though the title is photographer), in the business for over 30 years (and I look it). I have been a fan of Litepanels for a long time. I started with the original 1x1s, which were so great for indoor use, but just didn't have much punch for outside. Then came the Astra 6x bi-color, big improvement, but just enough for a cloudy day outside, and not if the background was in full sun. The Astra bi-focus got me there, kind of. I love the bi-focus, and when you punch it in, two of them can compete with a full sun background, but to be honest, the color shifts a bit all the way in. I needed a light that could really match the sun, and still have good skin tones. I am not a fan of Apurture, for many reasons, especially for the kind of work I do. They are big, heavy, cumbersome, and you can't just power them from regular camera batteries at full power. I had both the 600d, which had good punch, but I traded it for a 600c, because I prefer the light quality of RGB lights. Finally, the Gemini Hard came out! Two of these close enough to the talent could compete with a hard sun background (if you remove the diffuser) and the skin tones it produces are beautiful. Now at this point I already owned 14 Astras, 4 Geminis 1x1, one 600C, and of course, a few smaller lights. I felt my life was complete. But then, the Gemini 2x1 Hard went on sale here at B&H, and I had to try it. Wow! It put everything else to shame! Sure, it's kind of big and heavy, but the output! I already had the dual battery power plates that I use when I travel with the Gemini Hard (as I can't bring my core 293s on a plane, but two 150s will do the job). And two of those 293s will power this new 2x1 for over 45 minutes, at 100% power! I'm going to get a second one. I think by then, my life will really be complete. ;-) ps. at work my nickname is Lenny the light.

Super amazingly feature packed light that has a small footprint (read no fussing with a ballast and cable) and weighs much less than competition and is far easier to set up. If you are working alone or with a smaller crew you will appreciate this light! It does it all and does it well. If you are worried about brightness, don’t! Get out the other fixtures and do a side by side comparison ...you’ll have to get out a meter to tell the difference.
