Tota-brellas

Photographic umbrellas

convert relatively hard light sources,

such as spotlights, into relatively soft sources

that provide soft shadows and highlights.

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 Pro-lights:

Silver Code: T1-25, reflective umbrella.

White Code: T1-26, a white nylon umbrella

that produces a softer light and also may be

used as a large diffuser.

To Mount Umbrella insert umbrella shaft

through round hole in UMB and lock with

knob. Tota-brella and gel frame cannot be

used simultaneously.

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 to reduce the

chance of lights falling over which could

damage the umbrella, the lamp and possibly

cause personal injury.

Warning - To prevent possible umbrella

damage, avoid full or near-full spot reflector

settings on the Pro or i-light and do not use

with a Clear Glass as Super-spot.

Pro- lights are supplied with the

iP #2 Reflector

This faceted high intensity reflector can be

used with either the supplied Prismatic Glass

for standard focusing. Swap to Clear Safety

Glass for high intensity non-focusing super-

spot only.

Never operate Pro or i-lights without glass in

front housing.

GCA may fail if subjected to shock or vibra-

tion while on. Operating the focus smoothly

will help prevent lamp failure.
