The Bowens Gemini 500 Pro Monolight offers portable, dependable lighting power that you can use anywhere in the world. This 500W self-contained unit can achieve flash durations as short as 1/2900 of a second and it's designed to seek the correct voltage to run on, no matter what electrical system it's connected to, so you can use it anywhere there's electricity. Or use it where there's no electricity, with the optional Bowens Travelpak battery.
It's also designed to accept the optional Pulsar/Pocket Wizard Trigger card for remote control of the flash. The flash tube is easily user replaceable, which means no service center fees. With a fast recycle time of 1.1 seconds to full power and flash variability from 15Ws to 500Ws, the Gemini 500 Pro is a great power source for any photographer.
