Release Issued by Bowens:
Bowens has launched a powerful new entry level lighting kit.
‘The Gemini 200 is smaller and lighter than any previous Bowens monolight’ – Robert Cook, Bowens Marketing Manager
The Esprit Gemini 200 is the powerhouse sequel to the company’s original ‘Studio in a Box’ kit launched two years ago to wide acclaim by photographers.
The UK-manufactured Gemini 200 is constructed from tough, durable metal and
weighs in at just 2.2Kg.
Said Bowens marketing manager, Robert Cook: “Our customers have been asking for an entry level kit with more power. The pioneering ‘Studio in a Box 200’ with its two 200Ws units of power is our solution.
Now photographers working on a tight budget have no need to compromise on quality.
This new monolight is smaller and lighter than any previous model we’ve made and it’s fully compatible with the Bowens Travelpak battery. This creates the opportunity to use the lights on location where no mains power is available and achieve around 800 shots per charge – and double that with the Travelpak+”.
He added: “And when photographers are in a position to move on to bigger lights any accessories will remain compatible with the larger lights in our range. There is no need to upgrade - as is often the case with some competitor systems”
“Our new Studio in a Box 200 opens the door to a comprehensive and wide ranging world of over 40 Bowens light shaping tools and accessories including 15 types of reflector and 19 styles of softbox.”
The new ‘Studio in a box 200’ comprises:
2x Esprit Gemini 200 units
2x 90cm Silver/White Umbrella
2x 120˚ Wide-angle Reflector
2x2m Lighting Support Stand
