Stability, rugged construction, flexibility, and control are hallmarks of the LitePanels Gemini 1 x 1 RGBWW LED Soft Panel with Standard Yoke and US Power Cord. The aluminum-constructed, 12.6 x 12.6 x 4.6″ fixture has multiple lighting modes including CCT, Hue, Saturation, Gel Presets, as well as an effects mode. The CCT color temperature control has six factory presets in increments from 2700 to 10,000K. There are also six presets for user-defined color temperature and plus/minus green control. The HSI Color mode allows you to adjust the hue, saturation, and intensity, while Gel mode permits your choice from a library of filters favored by filmmakers, and an effects mode provides nine different effects to work with. The light has a CRI/TLCI rating of 97 for daylight balance and 94 for tungsten balance, indicating an accurate rendition of color. The Gemini is dimmable from 100 to 0.1% without flicker or color shift, and settings and features are displayed on the rear LCD screen.
All of these adjustments can be made locally on the unit or remotely via a console, thanks to the Gemini’s built in DMX. There’s even the option of wireless DMX or Bluetooth control via a separately purchased remote module. The Gemini is ready for worldwide use, thanks to its built-in 100 to 240 VAC power supply but it can also run on batteries when power is unavailable.
The Gemini has a number of convenience features, such as the ability to stack and gang several lights together with an optional yoke and hardware. You can also daisy-chain multiple lights together, allowing a single designated “Master” light to control the others. Similar in design to the Gemini 2 x 1, the LED layout has been reconfigured with the Gemini 1 x 1, which allows it to create 60% of the output of the Gemini 2 x 1. The beam angle is 95° with a field angle of 157°.
The Gemini 1 x 1 is flicker-free at any frame rate or shutter angle at any intensity level and maintains smooth dimming from 100 to 0.1%, with no color shift. Its energy efficient, drawing a nominal 200W and is a compact setup, with no heavy, external ballast.
