I got the Bowens Gemini 400 Studio kit around 2 years back and bought it after a lot of research and contemplation. I wanted to choose between elinchrome and bowens , and I must say that the Henry's staff at the hurontario / eglinton location are wonderful as they were extremely helpful and guided me with my entire studio setup needs with so much of ease .the staff is well experienced and trained , very courteous and gives time to understanding your concern and not just selling the product (compared to the competitor selling elinchrome. very arrogant sales person) .Lights have enough power for me to shoot big setups and always fired consistently . The color temperature of the lights has also been very consistent.The light have been very dependable for me ,and the ease of packing it all up in a bag is my favorite option as i can set up my studio anywhere within minutes.I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of making an investment into quality branded strobes. Lately i got a problem with on of the strobes and Henry's staff worked wonders once again with their excellent customer service and replaced the light for me saving my next day shoots .I must say i have experienced exemplary customer service .Keep up the good work guys !

I purchase the Bowens Gemini 400/400 studio kit about a week ago after spending a month deciding between it and the Elinchrom kit. I eventually went with the Bowens mainly due to availability of replacement parts and modifiers through the Henry's stores. I was disappointed that the kit did not come with wireless triggers as the Elinchroms did, however the price was much better. After I got them home and set them up, I took some test shots using my wife as a stand-in model. I told her I was not actually doing any portraits and would delete them, but after seeing the fantastic images that we took after a very short learning curve, we decided to keep some. The kit is great for amateur and professional photographers alike who want to get into studio lighting. I LOVE these lights and am very glad I chose to go with them. On a side note, one of the modelling lamps blew out on the second day, and Henry's was glad to replace it. Great product. I highly suggest the Bowens Gemini 400/400 studio kit!
