Great frame
The Lowel Pro Light is a great little hot light, ideal for TV news interviews, it provides good options. Should you need to either add Colorado temperature adjustment or get creative with color gel, this frame lets you mount it in front of the light, a safe distance from the light itself.

Needs improvement
I bought some for my Prolights. The stem that sticks into the lamp is not quite long enough to be able to easily use the Prolight barn doors, which run into the unit.
This could easily be improved by adding an inch to it, and also by manufacturing it so that it bends to where it needs to to get out of the way of the Lowell barn doors; this would also require that it be enlarge by an inch or more in each direction, which it probably should be anyway, because the gels barely cover the light without some spill.
I didn't try it without barn doors, and so how much closer it can be moved to the light lens – to cover spill better – is uncertain.
The clips barely grab the corners of precut gels/filters, and make me wonder when they will crack and break.
Recommend? I don't want to click No, but I don't want to click Yes either....
I PREFER using the larger gel holder made for the Lowell Tota lamp.
(Off topic: Speaking of gels/filters, the pack they sell seems odd, as there are 3 Blues, all of the same fairly-dark color, with no indication of whether it is 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, or Full. The frosty-white diffusion is okay, but more than one should be in the pack, and different thickness wouldn't hurt, along with how much light you are losing. You can always buy other gels and cut them to size....)
