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.

Pro Lamp Replacement
Warning: Always unplug unit before relamping. Fixture must be cool
before lamping. Lamps must be operated at their rated voltage.
Avoid touching “glass” with bare fingers. Insert lamp carefully,
to avoid breaking.
To change lamps
1
Turn focusing knob A
to spot position.
2 Unscrew the small knob B
located on top of the front
housing. Remove front assembly.
3 Grasp porcelain socket of lamp C and rock lamp gently from side
to side while pulling straight out from fixture socket.
4 To replace lamp, hold focusing knob in spot position and insert
lamp into socket. Warning: Avoid touching the glass of the lamp
with bare fingers. Make sure lamp is well seated in the socket.
Improper insertion could result in arcing, which will shorten lamp
and socket life.
5 Replace the front housing and tighten the top knob.
Warning: Compact filament lamps such as the GCA may fail if
subject to vibration or shock while on. Turning the fixture off before
moving or adjusting
as well as operating
the focus smoothly
will help prevent
lamp failure.
