Bowens is the British powerhouse that taught studios how to glow. It started far from the limelight in 1923 as the Bowens Camera Service Company, a tiny camera-repair shop in London's Soho that grew into one of Europe's largest. By 1947 it was building its own flash-bulb units, and by 1950 it pivoted to electronic studio flash. The real earthquake came in 1968 when Bowens invented the world's first self-contained monolight, packing 400Ws into a single head. Famous for rugged, affordable power and the brilliant S-Type bayonet mount - now the universal standard - Bowens became the working pro's default.
