The OptimalDuo™ lighting kit offers a unique combination of classic studio umbrella lights and innovative, remotely controlled LED bulbs. This versatile setup is ideal for photographers, videographers, and content creators, providing soft, sharp, or contrast-rich lighting options.
The OptimalDuo™ double lighting kit is a surprising combination of a classic studio lamp - an umbrella light - with an innovative, remotely controlled LED bulb. CineGEN has modernized this proven solution in a simple and cost-effective way. This benefits not only the convenience of working but also the quality of the resulting images - the LED lamps have smooth brightness and color temperature control. Thus, both exposure and white balance can be set within optimal camera (or camcorder) operating ranges.

The OptimalDuo™ lighting solution is dedicated to photographers, camera operators working in studios as well as videobloggers and presenters who work independently. It's a kit that works best when creating webinars, video reports, online sales or live broadcasts. It's excellent for photographing and presenting objects, interiors, models and faces. An additional advantage of the set is its versatility - it can be used in three different ways to obtain soft (diffused), sharp and high-contrast light.
The kit takes up little space while providing a lot of lighting power. The remote control included with the kit allows you to smoothly control the bulb, increasing or decreasing the light intensity. This is a great work aid. You will avoid constantly approaching the lamp and moving it to get the right light level. By controlling the pilot, you can also smoothly change the color temperature.
The fixture, bulb and umbrella installation on the stand are very simple. The assembly time is lightning-fast.
DaVinci™ LED Bulbs (2 pcs.)
This bulb is designed for professional use in a photographic studio environment. It has a wide color temperature range from 3600K to 6200K. The bulb provides excellent luminous efficiency. With low active power consumption, it achieves very high luminance equivalent to even 100-watt bulbs. The generated light is continuous without flickering, enabling filming with more frames per second.
The LED matrices are protected by a diffusing protective cover - a diffuser with a surface of 112cm2. This ensures that the emitted light has a pleasant and soft distribution regardless of intensity, making it an excellent substitute for softbox or beauty-dish type lamps at short distances.

Remote Controls (2 pcs.)
The remote control included with the kit allows for quick and intuitive bulb control over significant distances. The remote communicates with the bulb via an infrared channel mounted under the protective cover. Control is possible by pointing the remote towards the bulb.
Control Options
- Turn on/off the bulb
- Smooth brightness control
- Smooth color temperature control
- Select a fixed color temperature
- Night mode - reduced power

Umbrellas (2 pcs.)
The 84 cm photographic umbrella is used to diffuse light (from a continuous lighting lamp, reporter's or studio) that passes through the dome and becomes soft, reducing contrasts in photos. The umbrella is made of synthetic polyethylene fabric with low light attenuation coefficient and good diffusion.
Umbrellas are used by professionals and amateurs alike. They help eliminate unwanted shadows while making tonal transitions much smoother. In portraits, skin looks more flattering, wrinkles are reduced, and the iris appears larger and brighter. In product photography, details in shadows are emphasized, reducing overexposed areas (glare) on shiny surfaces. This is also an ideal solution for people creating videos for their online channels.

Studio Stands (2 pcs.)
This lightweight and stable stand is designed for use with small and medium lamps as well as lighting kits in studio and outdoor environments. It works great when configured with flashlights, continuous lights, softboxes, RedHead halogen lamps whose easy installation is enabled by the 16mm universal thread studio head. When folded, the stand takes up little space while its assembly is incredibly simple - it has convenient profiled section clamps. The maximum height of the stand after unfolding is 200cm, and the working height is 190cm.

Studio Fixtures (2 pcs.)
This professional lighting fixture allows for precise positioning of the light source on the photographed object. The fixture is made of lightweight and durable material. It's dedicated to constant light bulbs and compact flashlights with an E27 thread as well as lighting stands with a 16mm end thickness. Thanks to its wide head adjustment range from +80°/-80°, it allows for easy and convenient light positioning.

Advantages of OptimalDuo™ Lighting
- Ability to obtain three different lighting effects: soft-diffused, sharp diffused and high contrast
- Vibrant, contrasting colors in photos and videos - more light means lower ISO sensitivity in the camera, which translates into better color saturation
- No noise (both colored and grainy)
- No flickering effect during recordings
- Greater detail (noticeable everywhere but especially in dark parts e.g., a black suit/black hair when using our lamp will have visible structure)
- Sharp image - more light means shorter exposure time, less movement and thus sharper images. The shorter the exposure time, the less need for a tripod under the camera/other recording device is required
- Richer plans - more light provides better lighting of distant planes - the image becomes more spatial – we avoid overexposure only of what's in front and "black" background typical of flashlights in simple cameras or phones
- No need to use a flash on the camera/other recording device Continuous light with adjustable brightness - unlike flash, you immediately see its effect on the scene, and getting the model used to it avoids constant blinking and closing eyes, which is crucial in portrait and fashion photography

CineGEN® — studio equipment designed by practitioners
CineGEN® is a Polish studio equipment brand we created in 2011 in Janki near Warsaw. We don't have 35 years of tradition or offices on two continents — what we do have is around 40,000 orders with CineGEN® products fulfilled every year and 15 years of working with light, which taught us what actually works in a studio.
The brand was born for a simple reason: selling other people's equipment, we too often had to explain flaws we had no control over. We preferred taking responsibility to making excuses — so we started building our own.
How we work
Specifications and part of the designs are created in Poland; manufacturing takes place in China, under our supervision. We say this openly, because that's how studio equipment is made all over the world today. The difference lies in who sets the requirements and who answers for the result: every batch arrives at our warehouse in Janki, where we inspect it, and before a product enters our catalogue, we work with it ourselves — on packshots, portraits and video shoots.
Our product descriptions state real parameters and real limitations. A 200 PLN lamp won't replace a 2,000 PLN kit — and we won't pretend otherwise.
What you'll find under the CineGEN® brand
Continuous lighting (FlatLight™, Lumifi™, ReLed™, Ensö™ panels with CRI >95), Ignitix™ photographic bulbs, softboxes and light modifiers, lighting, photo and video stands and tripods (including the Jupiter™ series), and home studio kits.
What we stand behind
CineGEN® is a trademark protected at the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland (application Z.574925, rights held by Digishots Sp. z o.o.).
Warranty service and spare parts are handled at our facility in Janki — no shipping your gear "back to the manufacturer".
You can see the equipment in person at our location in Janki (ul. Poniatowskiego 17), and you'll find tests and tutorials on the digishots.pl blog and the CineGEN YouTube channel.
