The Lowel Elemental Kit is based on two of Lowel's most popular light fixtures. 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. This kit is equipped for use with 120V AC.
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 is the perfect companion to the Tota.
When fitted with an 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 ft (3 m).
When fitted with an FTK 500W bulb and standard reflector, each Omni-light will emit a beam of 75 footcandles at full flood and 475 footcandles at full spot, from a distance of 10 ft (3 m).

Comments about Lowel Elemental Kit:
Has everything you need for a simple lightng situation. The scrim and gels that come with the set are a huge plus. It allows for extra control over the lighting.
The case is extremely compact but still has efficient room for all of the accessories. I even bought a Pro Light and was able to fit that in the case along with everything else.
