Brighter than any other 2x1 panel, yet lighter than its peers, Gemini 2x1 Hard is a beautiful paradox delivering up to 23,000 lux of glorious high quality cinematic lighting in a lightweight agile fixture.
Gemini 2x1 Hard can deliver a powerful 20° beam of accurate hard white light, or seamlessly switch to a beautiful soft 100° wash, and at the touch of a button, unleash a world of creativity with full RGBWW output and special effects. With dual or quad mounting options to bank fixtures together creating up to four times the volume of intense light, Gemini 2x1 Hard is the ultimate production light.
Almighty output
23,000 lux of raw output at 10ft/3m from a 500W panel creates a new world of options. Control and modify without compromising on source. Gemini 2x1 Hard shifts from an intense 20° beam to a soft wrap-around light with diffusers included in the box, and still offers scope for many more layers.
Exquisite accuracy
Beautiful light quality and glorious true color reproduction combine. With no color shift or flicker at any framerate, shutter angle, or at any intensity from 100-0.1%, everything in the scene is illuminated by naturally beautiful light that renders color and skin tones perfectly.
Outstanding agility
Lighter than any comparable 2x1 panel and with no separate ballast, the Gemini 2x1 Hard stands apart as a lightweight weighing in at just 25.3lbs (11.5kg). Integrated DMX and CRMX speed up control, with lighting modes that offer pinpoint color manipulation. Gemini is faster and safer to rig, and ready for action in any location.
Industrial
strength
Gemini 2x1 Hard will work first time, every time for years to come. Tough enough to stand up to demanding set life, Gemini is manufactured to industrial standards using durable, robust materials.
Ultra-bright
At 23,000 lux @10ft/3m, the output of the Gemini 2x1 Hard is unparalleled.

Frequently asked questions
The Gemini 2x1 Hard LEDs are lensed to a tighter beam angle than the 2x1 Soft to push all available light forward and concentrate the light into a smaller area. 20° creates an intense beam of light with an output that can counter high bright ambient light, such as bright sunshine. It also creates a wide range of lighting possibilities by giving the end user more initial light to control as they need. 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, but still outputs a huge volume of light that far exceeds any other 2x1 soft light on the market.
Gemini 2x1 Hard uses non-diffused, lensed LEDs to cast an intense beam of light further than any other 2x1 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 575W HMI and this allows it to be used in a similar way to many hard lights that are diffused, plus it has the added benefit of being useable on talent even without diffusion where necessary.
The Gemini 2x1 Hard comes 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 that widens the beam to around 100°, similar to common soft panels. The Domed Diffuser slides separately into the accessory rails (so both diffusers can be used at the same time) and is set around 9cm/3.5” from the LEDs. This softens the beam even further, homogenising the light across the front face to create a consistent ambient light. The Domed Diffuser is designed to allow some light to pass through the sides of the diffuser, widening the beam angle above 100°, to create a light that effortlessly wraps around the subject and creates a single, soft shadow. Super Ultra-Light, Medium and Heavy clip-in diffusers are also available if required.
Gemini 2x1 Hard has a maximum nominal power draw of 500W, with a battery voltage range of 26-33 VDC. Anton/Bauer VCLX block batteries can be used to power the panel at up to 85% output for over an hour. We also recommend two Anton/Bauer 26V 240Wh batteries using the 26V Gold Mount Plus Dual Mounting Plate [8075-0255], which can be used to power the panel at up to 85% for over 30minutes.
