I have a set of three ageing Bowens Esprit 500 heads and a bunch of S-Fit modifiers and am looking for additional lights to complete my studio line-up.

Looking at the current Bowens range, it appears that the Gemini Classic 500 heads are pretty much the same as the old Esprit heads with a few modern wrinkles.

Would there be any dramas mixing these heads that I should be aware of assuming I use the same bulbs in all? I can't think of any other than the recycle time might be slightly faster - maybe 0.03 sec with the newer heads - with modelling lights on I can see when all are ready to fire so no dramas there really...
I'd use the newer heads as main/key lights due to the additional wireless Pulsar trigger capability.
 
No problem, they'll work together seamlessly
 
Thought so, dropping the hammer on two of those today then...
Thank-you Phil at Calumet for the 'friends and family' discount...

Got a studio lined-up and everything...
Viewing it on Sunday: 150m2 - the entire top floor of an old factory building - nice big windows running the length of the space on three sides which can be blanked-off to provide whatever shooting environment I require as well as office and changing/toilet/kitchen areas... Needs some work though.
I reckon OK to shoot in privately by the end fo the month and up to German legal requirements by end of Feb.

Just need to confirm the ceiling height is adequate, but a quick glance from outside, I estimate it's about 12'-15' which will be OK for what I'll be doing.
Rent will be 'very minimal' as it's a friend of a freind who owes me a favour.
