Lowel Tota-light Two-Light Kit
This is a B&H exclusive Lowel Tota-light Two-Light Kit with umbrellas, light stands and NO case. 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.
When fitted with an EMD 750W bulb, each 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 ft (3 m).
Add bulbs of your choice of 300W, 500W or 750W. Bulbs for 220-240 volts, and plug adapters are also available.
- Full Rotation
- The Tota-light can be rotated a full 360° with the large, stay-cool, plastic adjustment knob
- Multi-Wattage, Multi-Voltage
- Tota-lights use bulbs from 300W to 750W, available for 120V, 220V and 240V AC
- Adjustable Doors
- Adjustable reflecting doors can illuminate four walls evenly from a corner or compensate for light fall-off from above or below
- Umbrellas
- Included white umbrellas broaden and soften the light output

I had never used professional lighting like this. The instructions for setup and use were easy to understand. The product was easy to set up and it folds up into a small portable size for travel. I did not get the one with the carry case, but found a suitable carry bag for it. Come with cages to go around the lights to prevent glass from hitting you in the case of bulb shatter. They get very warm, but if turned off for breaks seem to be okay.

Lowel Tota lamps put out a large volume of light. They don't weigh much and don't take up a lot of space. Often, when I go out to record video by myself, I will pack a Tota and stand along with my tripod. Using the translucent umbrella for a soft fill light really perks up otherwise drab indoor lighting conditions. I would prefer to have the durable and time-tested Lowel stands vs. the flimsy Impact stands.

Comments about Lowel Tota-light Two-Light Kit:
As a college student with very little money at times, these lights were a brilliant buy for me. The setup for these lights is very simple. After placing the bulbs inside the heads, it really only takes moments to set the lights up. Plus, the lights are very reliable. I honestly have no legitimate complaints on this setup for the money I spent.

Comments about Lowel Tota-light Two-Light Kit:
I found these lights were very effective for filming in an artists studio, which was a small, tight shed converted to studio. Only one outlet with very limited space. My one concern is that they're very very hot. But overall, they worked well.

Comments about Lowel Tota-light Two-Light Kit:
Great kit, very portable. Very versatile, can be used in studio settings and on location. I used both lights with 750w EMD lamps, and it didn't blow the circuit in the residence where I was shooting. The lights were quite hot by the end of the shoot, but cooled down quickly. All pieces of the kit were very well made and sturdy. This is a wonderful light kit to start with and very reasonably priced.

I'm using the product to shoot mosaic pieces up to 6*6 feet size. It does the job, and illuminates it almost perfectly uniformly, surely a very good value for money.

Comments about Lowel Tota-light Two-Light Kit:
I purchased the same tota Light kit 5 or six years ago and the Lamps are identical with exception of the switch on the cord. The switches seem to be a lower quality. The main issue I had was concerning the Impact Light Stands. The materials used are cheap and do not equal the ones that I purchased just a few years ago. I feel that I paid to much for the kit with the quality of the Light stands in question.

Comments about Lowel Tota-light Two-Light Kit:
I ordered this kit so I could set up my documentation photography for the art conservation projects I am involved in. T
he equipment arrived sooner than I expected and exceeded and expections I had. The quality is excellent and the carrying kit is perfect for transporting the lights to whatever project I am working on.
Just don't forget to purchase the lightbulbs you need for the Tota-lights, as they don't come with the kit.
