Comments about Lowel Omni-Light 500 Watt Focus Flood Light (120-240VAC/12-30VDC):
Used for photographic lighting both on location and in the studio (mostly studio). Used with a medium softbox on a speedring, and as a flood/key light. As it is Tungsten, it will run VERY hot. Use only with correct temperature rated softboxes.

Comments about Lowel Omni-Light 500 Watt Focus Flood Light (120-240VAC/12-30VDC):
Lowel is a very reliable company with competitive pricing so you can never go wrong with their products. I've been using these lights for years on different jobs.
Needed one more to add to my kit.
This light is solid and compact in size.
Of course it's a tungsten so what out it gets hot...

Comments about Lowel Omni-Light 500 Watt Focus Flood Light (120-240VAC/12-30VDC):
Not much to say about these babies. 120, 240, 12 volts. Packs a wallop and is a nice, bright, smooth, reliable, extremely well made flood with a handle so you don't need gloves or Xylocaine. 10 out of 10 from me.

Comments about Lowel Omni-Light 500 Watt Focus Flood Light (120-240VAC/12-30VDC):
I use this light mostly for interior photography. When I use a dimmer on this light, it gives me tremendous versatility and the fact that it is so small affords me the ability to stick it just about anywhere.
The one thing I don't like about it is the metal around it gets really hot and it becomes difficult to handle, but that goes for any tungsten light. The handle on this light will become your best friend if you don't want to get burned.

Comments about Lowel Omni-Light 500 Watt Focus Flood Light (120-240VAC/12-30VDC):
These lights illuminate large paintings during the documentation process. They (two of them) do the job for anything I have come up with yet, seven feet square, for instance. They are excellent for the money.

Comments about Lowel Omni-Light 500 Watt Focus Flood Light (120-240VAC/12-30VDC):
I used to use this same style light 20 years ago when I was a news photographer. I have several softer lights from Lowell like a Rifa, and tota, but needed a good all around broad light. This thing fits the bill perfectly. I bought the bard doors and an extra umbrella and it's now one of my most versatile extra players in my light bag.

Comments about Lowel Omni-Light 500 Watt Focus Flood Light (120-240VAC/12-30VDC):
I bought this as my first light for filmmaking and I found that it is a great key light, very powerfull and handy. It is good with a reflector to bounce the light when used indoors. I did not have the chance to use it outdoors since the bulb broke. no fault of the fixture.
