Universal Production Services supplied over 800 Gemini 2 1 Hards, which were rigged across multiple stages. These lightweight, high-output panels proved invaluable to Chief Lighting Technician, David Smith and the lighting team on Wicked. Selected for their exceptional color, light quality, precise control, and smooth low-end dimming, the Geminis were versatile enough to handle a wide range of lighting tasks, from illuminating backings to providing soft, diffused spacelight.

Litepanels were a big part of the production. They worked seamlessly for us. The Geminis never let us down.
