lowel TOTA-LED-XL Daylight LED Flood Light

Thank you for choosing Lowel
The TOTA-LED-XL is a folding daylight-balanced floodlight made for video and photography. This rugged and road-ready fixture emits 11,200 lux of flicker-free continuous light, operates on AC or battery power, and draws only 100 W. It produces a bright 60° beam that’s ideal for illuminating large areas or increasing the ambient light level of large spaces. The 8 × 8-inch LED panel is designed in three sections to fold down to half its width, so the solid metal body protects the LED panel during transport. The control box combines the power supply, controller, and AC adapter into a single unit, which makes the TOTA-LED-XL less bulky, and cuts down on clutter and extensive cabling.

Powering the TOTA-LED-XL

Using the TOTA-LED-XL with AC Power

1. Plug the DC cable’s 5-pin XLR connector into the controller.

2. Align the arrows on the 4-pin connector and the light’s power cord, and press them together until they click into place.
   Important! The connectors should easily attach. Don’t use force to connect the control box to the light fixture.

3. Use the AC power cable to attach the controller to a power outlet.

4. Press the power switch.

Using the TOTA-LED-XL with Battery Power
Make sure the power switch is in the off position, and disconnect the AC adapter so the control box is not plugged into a wall outlet.

1. Align the battery terminals with the contacts in the battery mount.
2. Place the battery down into the mount, and push the battery toward the contacts until it clicks into place.

Adjusting the Light

Brightness Control
The brightness control on the control box can adjust the output from 100% to 0%.

Diffusers

• Diffusers are included for each panel to soften and spread the light.
• Insert the diffusers by sliding them into the diffuser slots.
• For a more direct light with greater contrast and higher output, remove the diffusers.

Attaching the Light Stand Clamp

1. Align the clamp’s pins with the controller’s slots and insert the pins.

2. Slide the clamp up so it locks into place.
   To remove the light stand clamp, press the clamp release button. Slide the clamp down and pull it out of the slots.

3. Loosen the wing nut on the light stand clamp and open the clamp.

4. Fit the clamp around the shaft of a light stand, and tighten the wing nut until the clamp is held securely in place.

Alternate method
Use the controller strap to hang the controller from one of the light stand’s locking knobs.
