same time remaining simple and intuitive to use.

can be used with the Gemini Classic as well as
the Bowens Travelpak battery system and

• Switch power off and disconnect from the power supply
before changing the modelling bulb or flash tube.
• Disconnect the power supply before changing the fuse.
Never replace with a fuse of a different rating.
A spare fuse is fitted in the fuse holder under the AC inlet
(see page.4)
• Exercise care when handling equipment that has been in
use. The reflector & front of the unit can be very hot.
• Avoid placing cables where they can be tripped over.
Protect from heavy, sharp or hot objects, which may
cause damage & replace damaged cables immediately.
• Due to the high voltage / high energy used in Gemini
monolights, all servicing must be carried out by a
Bowens authorised service centre.
• Always remove the power cord by gripping the plug.
NEVER pull the cord.
• Always ensure that any extension cord used has a
suitable current rating to prevent overheating and never
use coiled extension cords.

• Use in an environment where moisture or flammable
vapour is likely to come in contact with the unit.
• Plug your Gemini monolight into an AC supply and a
Travelpak battery at the same time.

or modelling lamp. If the unit is dropped or damaged in
any way, always have it checked before using.
