Omni Light - Tungston
 
The wide focusing range of the Omni-light makes it a flexible key or back-light. Add diffusion or an umbrella, and it's a soft fill source. Swap the power cord & lamp and it becomes a battery powered, hand-held light. Available with a host of accessories and built for heavy duty long life, the popular Omni is the perfect companion to the Tota.
 Multi-use, tungsten halogen source.

Double parabolic, peened reflector provides non-crossover beam for maximum efficiency and gel life.

 

     
Totas - Tungston
 
Compact, rugged & versatile, the broad throw Tota-light  can be used with its umbrella or gel-frame & diffusion as a soft key, fill, or backlight. With its adjustable reflectors, it can be a smooth & even background light, or point it toward the ceiling to raise the ambient (base) light level of a room. Tota is also widely used for photographic copy work.
 Multi-use, tungsten halogen source.

Fresnel Light    
 
In the studio or on location, for those who love the beautiful light quality of a fresnel, there is simply no better choice than the Lowel Fren-L 650.
 
 Designed with input from working professionals, the Fren-L 650 features an oversized swing down handle, a pop-up scrim holder for easier access, double walled convection cooling, and a single arm stand-fitting yoke for a generous tilting range without the cable snarl.

With an impressive 8:1 focusing range, it glides from an exceptionally wide even flood to a tight spot with sharp shadow quality.
