This is a Lowel TO GO 98 Kit, LB-30 Case featuring three lights. Compact, rugged and versatile, the broad-throw Tota-light can be used with its umbrella or gel frame and diffusion as a soft key light, fill light, or backlight. With its adjustable reflectors, it can be a smooth and even background light, or point it at the ceiling to raise the ambient (base) light level of a room. Tota-lights are also widely used for photographic copy work.
The wide focusing range of the Omni-light makes it a flexible key light or backlight. Add diffusion or an umbrella, and it's a soft fill source. Available with a host of accessories and built for heavy-duty long life, the popular Omni-light is the perfect companion to the Tota-light.
When fitted with the included EMD 750W bulb, the Tota-light will emit a beam of 41 footcandles, with the barndoors at normal position, and 34 footcandles with the barndoors at 180° position, from a distance of 10' (3 m).
When fitted with the included FTK 500W bulb, each Omni-light will emit a beam of 75 footcandles at full flood, and 475 footcandles at full spot, from a distance of 10' (3 m).
This kit is equipped for use with 120 AC voltage. It can also function with 220-240 AC and 12-30 DC voltage, with the appropriate bulbs, adapter plugs or cables, and power supplies (available separately).

Comments about Lowel TO GO 98 Kit, LB-30 Case:
This Go Kit (2 500W Omnis, 1 750W Tota) is nice and easy to use. Simple for lighting small spaces and interviews. Not much throw for larger spaces.
Also, I made a bonehead move and touched the bulb with my bare finger while installing into the light. The bulb subsequently blew on its first use and reminded me what an idiot I am...
The lights heat up pretty quickly, which can make for an uncomfortable shoot if you're in a confined space. Also, any dust, etc. on the lamp will burn/smoke, which can be distressing.
All of it packs nicely and conveniently into the soft case.
