Lowel Tota-light Instructions

The Lowel Tota-light® is a professional

lighting fixture. Read these

instructions and lamp manufacturer’s

warnings before operating.

■Not for household use,

use only for film, video or imaging purposes.

■Do not leave lit fixture unattended.

■Unplug lights when unattended or

when relamping.

■Make certain that lamp voltage

matches power source voltage.

The units use lamps of different voltages

(example: never connect a 120 volt lamp to

a 220/240 volt source).

■Units such as this emit considerable

light and heat and, if not properly used,

could be dangerous.

■The Protective Screen must be used

to protect people and property in the unlikely

event of a defective lamp exploding, which

can cause small fragments of hot glass &

filament to be scattered about.

■Tota-light should never be operated

with doors either closed or beyond the

below shown “safety stop” position.

■Open faced lights should not be

positioned extremely close to people.

Ultraviolet light ray emissions can cause dam-

age to the eyes and reddening of the skin. The

likelihood of either occurring is increased with

length of exposure, focus intensity and prox-

imity. As a result, lights should be kept away

from people. Bounce illumination also elimi-

nates this problem.

■Avoid aiming the light at,

or placing close to, people, delicate objects

or flammable materials.

■Do not interfere with ventilation

by covering the lights in any way.

■Never touch hot parts.

■Do not use near standing water.

■Lights should be operated with

lamp filament horizontal.

■Avoid mounting lights directly

over people unless secured with a safety

cord or cable.

Tota Lamps Replacement

Warning: Always unplug unit

before relamping.

■ Lamps must be operated at their

rated voltage. Avoid touching

“glass” with bare fingers,

use tissue or hand-

kerchief. Skin oil

on lamp glass

will focus heat

unevenly and

cause premature

lamp failure.

■ Insert lamp carefully, to avoid breaking

porcelain ends.

■ The tension springs of the Tota sockets A

are very stiff, remove and install lamps care-

fully with 2 hands to avoid damaging lamp.

The porcelain contact of the socket may occa-

sionally stick in its protective metal housing.

The contact can be freed by pushing against it

with a pencil or other suitable object.

■ Due to inconsistencies in lamp (bulb) pro-

duction, an individual lamp may function for

less than avg. rated life. Some lamp manufac-

tures are of better quality than others and may

provide longer life and better performance.

Attaching Tota

Protective Screen

Warning: Never operate light without

supplied Protective Screen.

After opening Tota-light reflector doors, push

long open edges of screen into slots between

open doors of

Tota-light. When storing

the screen protect from

bending which will

effect the proper fit.

Tota Operations

Operating Positions

Tota-light must be operated with

doors open.

Operating fixture with doors closed or partially

closed will cause serious damage to the

fixture and possible personal hazard.

AMaximum light intensity (total door angle

of 90°). Door handles will help prevent

doors from closing beyond the safe operating

position.

nating a wall or cyc from below (opposite

door configuration when lighting from above).

The following components are shared by both the

Tota and Omni-lights. Their attachment may differ

slightly between Tota and Omni, as described below.

Umbrellas

Photographic umbrellas

convert relatively hard

light sources, such as

spotlights, into relatively

soft sources that provide

soft shadows and high-

lights. Although not

appropriate for every

subject or mood, the

quality of light can be very beautiful. There are two Umbrellas

designed for use with the Tota lights, a woven, soft silver

Tota-brella (T1-25) and a softer white Tota-brella (T1-26) that

produces a softer light and also may be used as a large dif-

fuser. The larger Lowel DP Umbrellas (Silver D2-25, White

D2-26) may also be used with the Tota-lights (see below).

Warning:

When lights with umbrellas are extended very high, or used on

undersized stands or in areas of heavy “traffic”, it is advisable

to add weight (such as the Lowel weight) to the base of the

stand. This reduces the chance of lights falling over which

could damage the umbrella, the lamp, and possibly cause

personal injury.

Using Umbrellas with Tota

Insert umbrella through hole until shaft

appears through opposite hole. Lock with

knob. When the umbrella is in place, the

gel frame cannot be used. Tota-shades and

gels should be used for daylight correction.

The use of clear instead of frosted lamps

will increase the light output by approximately 15%. When

using the DP Umbrella, the tilt tension of the light may have to

be increased. This can be done easily by tightening the nut

located on the stand fitting with a 7/16" wrench.

Do not over tighten!

Tota-frame

Code: T1-20

Unfold frame, extending frame bar and insert

through front accessory mounting hole

until shaft appears through opposite

hole. Lock with knob.

Tota/Omni Gels

Gels are secured to the frame with

corner spring clips. Gels should not

be doubled up. Precut, tough, fade

resistant Lowel gels are available in

daylight blue, frost diffusion, and

neutral density. Gels can be cut

into various shapes to cover only

part of the frame and subject.

(See gel instruction sheet.)

Tota-flag & Tota-flector

Codes: T1-52 & T1-54

Tota flags can be used separately, or

snapped together end to end or side to

side. Flags can be attached to the light

with a flexi-shaft. Flags block or “feather”

light off background, subject, or camera

lens. Tota-flectors can be attached in the

same way and used to redirect some of

the light. It can also provide close-up fill

illumination from the sun or other source

over a small area. Slight convex bowing

of the surface will reduce the intensity

and increase the area illumination.

Avoid mounting flags or reflectors directly

over people unless secured with a safety

cord or cable.

Flexi-shaft

Code: T1-50 (set of 2)

A flexible arm positions Tota-flags and Tota-flec-

tors. The fixed end of the Flexi-shaft snaps into a

female connector on the Tota & Omni-lights, Tota-clamp and a

few other Tota components. The rotating end snaps on to the

flag, flector etc. Avoid overstressing connectors while bending

and twisting. Insert the non-rotating end into the light.

Tota-tatch

Code: T1-34

Spring clamp attaches Tota-flags and

Tota-flectors with or without Flexi-shafts,

to stands, pipes, and flat surfaces.

The snap-in fitting rotates to help

position flags. Tota-tatch may also be

used to hold and position black & white

cards, cue cards, gels, etc.

To Store Tota

When fixture is cool to the touch, disconnect

plug on rear of Tota-light. Remove

Protective Screen, spring out door

handles slightly until open end

can slip between double walls

and close doors. Store Protective

Screen “over” folded light. When

storing the screen, protect from

bending which will effect the

proper fit.

Storing Tota Tota Light Controls

Tota-shade

Codes: T1-21 (1)

T1-24 (set of 4)

Top/ Bottom Shades.

Attach Tota-shade panel to the top or bottom reflector door

with black clips facing in to

lock over the door's ribs.

Side Shades can be used

only when top and bottom

panels are attached. Turn

each black clip 45° and

attach one each to the bent

rod ends of the top and bot-

tom panels. Reflector doors

must be held tightly against

their 45° angle stops while

doing this.
