Lowel Pro-Light, Focusing Multi-Voltage Quartz Light

I've had the Lowel Pro-Light for about two years and have used it for both video and still photography. This is a fairly decent, low-end focusing light. As others have noted, you will have to immediately buy a stand, quartz lamp (bulb) and probably an accessory or two to get much use out of this light. To be fair, that is often the case. Once you do, this is a very usable little light.With the Pro-Light producing somewhat less light, there is also somewhat less heat, allowing you to place this light closer to the subject or the camera. Manufacturing quality of the Pro-Light is good, but not great. This is not "Swiss watch" precision. But the durability of the Pro-Light is very good. I use my Pro-Light on a regular basis and it has been a real workhorse. The quartz bulbs burn out on occasion, but not too often, and not because of the Pro-Light.If you are looking for a decent, low-end light at a very decent price, the Lowel Pro-Light is a good place to start. I haven't regretted purchasing mine.

Unless specified all these lights listed do not have stands, barn doors or bulbs included. While the sellers post pictures of the lights with these items it is in fact illegal and know that this is a violation of consumer law and must be disclosed to the seller. So far Amazon's enforcement of this has been abysmal. The light itself, (after blowing 22.99 with shipping for a bulb, and 53.64 for barn doors and 34.87 on a light stand) is great and works like a champ. I love it and highly recommend it. Just go into it knowing that there are no accessories that come with it and you will blow a little over 100 bucks more to get it to a usable state. For this product the seller has made corrections complying with the law (after my husband raised hell with them and threatened suing for violating consumer law).

I'd guess it is to make this light appear cheaper than it actually is. The bulb cost an extra $ 22.00 with shipping so this is SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive that it appears. But even the added cost is not what gets me the most. It is that after anxiously waiting to use the light I had to find, order and wait another week to use it. AND after looking over the description I found no statement that this was sold WITHOUT a bulb.I like the light but do not like the way it is sold.Crappy thing to do to first time customers.

This is a great, durable, portable studio light. I have left it on for extended periods without any issues. It is well made and very durable... I am hard on my equipment and I have seen this light perform time after time despite significant wear and tear. I have been using it for years and have yet had to replace the original bulb. As a result I searched out to buy this specific model when I needed to add another unit.

This is a solidly-made piece of equipment that offers a lot-o-light for a comparatively small amount of money. We sought it out after talking with a veteran TV news photographer as to what he relies on and he said this is it. He's right -- it's a workhorse that shows care in manufacturing and/or design: It even has attached Velcro ribbons to hold the two-section cords together for storage. Like all quartz AC lamps, it runs hot. We pack an Ove Glove to avoid burns when striking the equipment.

Small, compact, lightweight and it kicks out a lot of light for only being 250w. I wish it came with barndoors. The spot/flood switch on the side of the unit doesn't have much range. Easy to use, especially with a dimmer switch.

I got two lights and at first I was nervous but these are some work horses! I would recommend allowing them to cool after use they do get very HOT lol.The only draw back is you have to by your own light bulbs I recommend the Ushio GCA Lamp 250 watts 120 volts the work well with these lights.

I heard pretty good things about this light and I bought it but it never worked. It wouldn't turn on at all. So I returned it.Still trying to decide if I should buy another one.
