The power to create extraordinary.
Power your imagination to create the extraordinary on screen. With an incredibly bright output of over 3000 lux @10ft/3m, Gemini 1x1 Hard delivers the brightest and most accurate 1x1 light ever. Blast through a silk, build layers of diffusion or bounce light off a board, with precision control of hue, saturation, intensity, gels and effects, Gemini 1x1 Hard gives you the power to control and create your own extraordinary.
Ultra-bright, hard and soft light
With an outstanding output of over 3000 lux @10ft/3m and a narrow 46-degree beam angle, Gemini Hard casts intense white or richly saturated color further than any other 1x1 LED panel. Remove the diffuser for an incredibly bright raw light - 20% more powerful than a 200W HMI - or use the ultralight and domed diffusers included with Gemini Hard to deliver perfect soft light with outstanding brightness.
Lightweight design - industrial strength
Tough enough to meet the rigorous demands of daily set life in the studio or on location, the compact and lightweight Gemini weighs just 13.2lbs/6kg for rapid rigging and easy transportation. Manufactured to industrial standards using durable, robust materials, Gemini is designed to protect your investment for years so you can rely on Gemini 1x1 Hard to work first time, every time.
Choice on demand for fast changing productions
The incredible power of Gemini Hard, expands the creative potential of a 1x1 panel. With more power to command and control, you can use a wide range of diffusion and creative light shaping tools, not possible with less powerful fixtures. Combined with full RGB control of over 16 million colors, 300 gels and 11 customizable special effects, the Gemini 1x1 Hard adapts to your imagination.
Naturally Accurate in any scene
True to life color reproduction comes naturally with Gemini. With CRI and TLCI ratings of 98, Gemini 1x1 Hard delivers consistently accurate and dependable white light in any CCT from 2,700K – 10,000K with no color shift or flicker at any framerate, shutter angle, or at any intensity from 100-0.1%. You can be sure that everything in your scene, from close-up candlelight to brilliant sunlight, appears true to life and the skin tones of your on-screen talent are rendered perfectly.

Frequently asked questions
Lensing the LEDs to a tighter beam angle than the 1x1 Soft concentrates the light into a smaller area and significantly increases the intensity of the beam. 46° is a standard used by the Astra 6X and still creates a light useable on talent without diffusion. Adding the domed diffuser will create a beautifully soft light with a wide beam angle for added wrap around subjects or consistent ambient lighting across an area, yet still with more power than the Gemini 1x1 Soft.
Gemini 1x1 Hard uses non-diffused, lensed LEDs to cast an intense beam of light further than any other 1x1 RGBWW panel. Because it uses multiple LEDs over a larger surface area, it will cast a different, slightly softer shadow to a single source light such as an HMI. However, its output is greater than a 200W HMI and this allows it to be used in a similar way to many hard lights that are then diffused, plus it has the added benefit of being useable on talent even without diffusion where necessary.
The Gemini 1x1 Hard comes supplied with an Ultra Light Diffuser and a Domed Diffuser. The Ultra Light Diffuser clips into the front face of the panel and offers a low level of diffusion but softens and widens the beam. The Domed Diffuser slides separately into the accessory rails (so both diffusers can be used at the same time) and is set around 5cm/2” from the LEDs. This softens the beam even further and homogenises the light across the front face. The domed diffuser is designed to allow some light to pass through the sides of the diffuser, widening the beam angle up to around 100°, to create a light that effortlessly wraps around the subject and creates a single, soft shadow. Medium and Heavy clip-in diffusers are also available if required.
We know customers always want more! The answer to this is the dual or quad array. Stacking panels together increases the output proportionally (2x for a dual, 4x for a quad). With a quad array you’ll get 12,000 lux @10ft/3m (5,600K). That rig will run off 8x Anton/Bauer Dionic 26v 240Wh batteries for over 2 hours at full blast and weigh only about 50 lb / 23 kg (+27 lb / 12 kg with batteries and brackets). That’s a huge output, from a relatively lightweight, battery powered rig that can be disassembled into four 1x1 panels when needed.
