The Lowel Pro-light is a professional
lighting fixture. Read these instructions
and lamp manufacturer’s warnings
before operating.
n
Not for house hold use, use only
for
film, video or imaging purposes.
n
Do not leave fixtures unattended.
n
Unplug fixtures when not in use.
n
The units use lamps of several
different
voltages. Make certain that lamp voltage
matches power source voltage.
Example: never
connect a 120 volt lamp to a 220 volt source.
n
Units such as this emit
considerable
light and heat, and if not properly used, could
be dangerous.
n
Lights should not be positioned
extremely close to people. Ultraviolet light ray
emissions can cause damage to the eyes and
reddening of the skin. The likelihood of either
occurring is increased with length of exposure,
focus intensity and proximity. Therefore, lights
should be kept away from people.
n
Avoid aiming the light at, or placing
too close to, people, delicate objects or
flammable materials.
n
Do not interfere with ventilation
by covering the lights in any way.
n
For proper ventilation, do not tilt
down beyond 45 degrees or operate sideways.
n
Do not operate Pro-lights upside-
down with lamps of more than 125 watts.
n
Do not tilt Pro-light down
if mounted on
top of a camera. Camera damage could result.
n
Never touch hot parts only touch
handles & knobs for light adjustments.
n
Do not touch Pro-light upper front
end knob while operating the light, high
temperature is present.
n
Do not use near standing water.
n
Avoid mounting lights directly over
people unless secured with a safety cord
or cable.
n
The updated Pro-light (2003) has
an
IEC connector for its integrated AC Cable.
However older Pro-lights use a 3 pin Edison
fixed power cable which is to be used
only with the Pro-light and not as a general-
purpose extension cable.
n
Keep Pro-light power cable away
from front housing when hot, to avoid damage.
n
If battery power is used, never store
the light without first removing the power cable
from the power source.
