The OptimalDuo™ lighting kit offers a unique blend 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.
Key Features:
- Remote control for seamless brightness adjustment
- Wide color temperature range (3600K to 6200K)
- Compact and lightweight, perfect for on-the-go setups.
The OptimalDuo™ double lighting kit is a surprising combination of the studio classic - an umbrella lamp - 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 effects - the LED lamps have smooth brightness and color temperature control. Thanks to this, both exposure and white balance can be set within optimal camera (or camcorder) operating ranges.

The OptimalDuo™ lighting solution is dedicated to photographers, operators working in studios and videobloggers or 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 contrast-rich lighting. Thanks to OptimalDuo™, videos and photos gain color and become more attractive to viewers.
The kit takes up little space while providing a lot of light power. The remote control included with the set allows you to smoothly control the bulb by increasing or decreasing its brightness. This is a great convenience for work - you'll avoid constantly approaching the lamp and moving it around to get the right lighting intensity. By controlling the pilot, you can also smoothly change the color temperature. Mounting the fixture, bulb, and umbrella on the stand is very simple, and assembly time is lightning-fast.
DaVinci™ LED Bulbs (2 pcs.)
The bulb is designed for professional use in a photographic studio. It has a wide range of color temperatures from 3600K to 6200K. The bulb provides excellent luminous efficiency, achieving very high luminance at low active power consumption, equivalent to even 170-watt bulbs. The light generated is continuous without flickering, enabling filming with more frames per second.
The LED matrices are protected by a diffusing protective cover - a diffuser with an area of 112cm2. This ensures that the emitted light has a pleasant and soft distribution regardless of intensity, making it suitable as a replacement for softbox or beauty-dish type lamps at short distances.

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

Umbrellas (2 pcs.)
The 84 cm diameter photographic umbrella is used to diffuse light (from a continuous lighting lamp, reporter's or studio lamp), which when passed through the dome gives us soft contrasts in photos. The umbrella is made of synthetic polyethylene fabric with low light attenuation 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 as wrinkles are reduced, and the iris appears larger and brighter. In product photography, details in shadows are emphasized, reducing overexposed areas (flares) on shiny surfaces. This is also an ideal solution for those creating videos for their online channels.

Studio Stands (2 pcs.)
The lightweight and stable stand is designed for use with small and medium lamps as well as lighting kits in studio or outdoor environments. It works great when configured with flashlights, continuous light sources, softboxes, RedHead halogen lamps, whose easy mounting is facilitated by the 16mm studio head with a universal 1/4" thread. When folded, the stand takes up little space and its assembly is extremely simple - it has comfortable, profiled section clamps. The maximum height of the stand when unfolded is 200cm, while the working height is 190cm.

Studio Fixtures (2 pcs.)
The 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 designed for constant light bulbs and compact flashlights with an E27 thread, as well as lighting stands with a 16mm end thickness. Thanks to its wide range of head adjustments in the +80°/-80° range, it allows you to easily change the lighting setup. At the back of the fixture is a two-wire cable that's 1.3m long.

Advantages of OptimalDuo™ Lighting
- Ability to achieve three different lighting effects: soft-diffused, sharp diffused and 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 color and grain)
- No flickering effect during recordings
- Greater detail (noticeable everywhere but especially in dark areas 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 need to use a tripod under the camera/other recording device is reduced
- Richer plans - more light provides better lighting for distant planes - the image becomes more spatial – we avoid overexposure only of what's in front and "black" background images, characteristic of flashlights on simple cameras or phones
- No need to use a flash on the camera/other recording device Constant light with adjustable brightness - unlike flashing light, we immediately see its effect on the scene, and getting used to the model's lighting allows you to avoid constant blinking and closing your 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.
