Lightning fast delivery of lighting

An excellent professional lighting gadget! I was so happy and pleased to receive two items of the same kind at very low cost but complete with stands, gels, and so on inside a nice hardcase. The shipping was incredibly fast like the speed of lightning half way around the earth's circumference. Thanks so much Adorama!

Love my Lowel Tota

Awesome product. Just what I expected. Reason for the 4 star and not 5. I didn't realize I needed to buy the bulb separately. The bulb is very inexpensive and don't know why it just didn't come with the kit and just add that charge to the price. I had to pay for shipping twice when could have been avoided.

The light is compact, bright, easy to assemble

I am not a photographer. I am using this light to brighten my displays at trade shows. The light is compact, bright, easy to assemble and most of all, lights up an entire 8' table without any problem!

Good Product and Price

Great light, small and easy to carry around. I only had used this light for shooting video but my only concern is the HEAT with the 800W bulb.

Good for the price

I got these for green screen lighting and they work quite well. I consider them a good value for the price, which obviously means that paying more gets a better product. Note that you are to only use these in the horizontal position. Running them vertically burns out the bulb.

Don't Let its size fool You,

The Tota lights are my favorite light source system for night/indoor video shooting. I have been using 1000W Tota lights for a number of years now and I will keep on using them till they die. This small light weight unit is very powerful for a wide angle flood light. It has an impressive light spread of over 200 degree angle. Its amazing that with only a couple of these Tota light units, it can light up a very large room area when extending the lights up at 12-15 feet in the air. They produce very nice professional video picture results. If you bounce two Tota lights off the ceiling in smaller room settings you get great bright soft lighting with nice colors and depth of field. With 1000W quartz bulbs they get very hot and should be handled with gloves. It wouldn't hurt if they charged a little more money and added a cooling fan to this system. I love them and I am looking forward of getting couple more. Piero Foto
