Lowel i-light (barn doors sold separately)

 

Ask yourself, do I need a dimmer switch?: There is no right or wrong answer here, and to a certain degree you can control light levels by other means. With the non-dimmable i-light you can attenuate the light using barn doors or simply by moving the light further away from the subject adjust the perceivable brightness level of the light. Most people use these lights on full power, but if you would like complete control in all conditions, then perhaps you should consider the dimmable id-light. The choice is yours.

The focusable and dimmable i-light and id-lights are great location choices for shooting weddings and portraits.

We are currently the only UK supplier of the i-light and all our Lowel video lights come fitted with the more robust XLR connector fittings.

For many years now the Lowel id light has been widely used in the film and TV industry. It is a strong robust unit, able to take the knocks and rigors of everyday shooting. It has a handy flood and spot function, is fully dimmable (id-light only) and is perfect for wedding photography and location portraiture. The team here at Lovegrove Consulting have taken this highly desirable lamp head and built the perfect kit around it.

The i-light and id-light are fitted with a high intensity reflector and prismatic glass to give an even flood & uniform spot, and a full range of light control & mounting accessories to bring convenience & dependability to places where AC dares not go.

id-light

Small: The Lowel i-light and id-light are small and light enough to be easily hand held. There compact design is a triumph of form and function.

Dimmable: The d in id stands for dimmer. This combined dimmer and switch unit ensures the bulb has a soft start each time you switch it on prolonging it's life. It also has the more obvious function of giving you ultimate control of the light output level. A dimmed id-light is perfect when lighting people at a candle lit table for instance.

Note: Some play or movement in the dimmer switch knob and circuit whilst being operated is quite normal and doesn't affect it's use in any way.

Flood and spot control: At the heart of any good battery light is a moveable filament, reflector or lens. Each design produces a slightly different characteristic to the size, quantity and pattern of light emitted. The flood and spot function on the Lowel i-light and id-light moves the bubble in relation to the reflector to give a significant range of spot intensity. A subtle diffusion on the lens ensures a pleasing drop off from the lit to unlit part of the scene.

XLR connectors: The Lovegrove supplied Lowel i-light and id light are fitted with a professional 4pin XLR connector. This small, robust, latching inline connector is solid and provides secure electrical connections time after time. Rated at 10A, the 4 pin XLR is simply the best and worth paying a bit more for. Don't settle for less.

CTEK XS800 Battery Charger with custom XLR output lead for Lowel id-lights - Lovegrove price £47 (£40 excl. VAT).

Behind any battery powered lighting system is the battery charger, replenishing the battery and keeping it in tip top condition. A poor charger can fail to revive a battery that has suffered deep discharge and can over cook a battery in the charging phase if it is left connected for too long. To overcome these and many more shortfalls Ctek of Sweden have developed the most advanced switch mode battery chargers in the world.

Key Benefits:
•  Will look after the battery and keep it optimally topped up for immediate use.
• Because the ripple current of the Ctek XS800 is so small, it can be left plugged into the pack when mains is available at the shooting location.

This multi stage switch mode battery charger is the ultimate unit to take control and care for your batteries. It constantly monitors your batteries voltage and keeps it in peak condition ready for use. It can usually recover a battery from deep discharge with it's pulse charging system. The charger is CE certified and comes with a fitted UK plug on the input lead. The output lead has a handy Ctek inline connector system that enables you to use other output leads available separately. If you already have a battery light system that uses the cigar style connector or a Broncolor mobil battery flash and you want to use your Ctek charger for those too just purchase the additional lead or leads required.

CTEK XS800 Specification:
•  Four step, fully automatic switch mode model for all battery light - old and new.
•  Maintenance pulse charging increases battery life and gives superb performance.
•  Low back current drain, low ripple and input voltage independent (220-240V).
•  High efficiency: 85%
•  Dimensions - L142xW51xH36mm
•  Weight - 0.3kg
•  Insulation - Splash and dust-proof

Lastolite short extending handle (2400) - Lovegrove price £23 (£19.57 excl. VAT).

The Lastolite Extending Handle is one of the useful accessories that make the Lowel id-light as versatile a piece of equipment as you can find. The Short Extending Handle extends from 24cm - 48cm and is ideal for photographers who demand flexibility from their equipment and the ability to be able to use it in a variety of different locations.

Features
•  Moulded handle

Barn doors - Lovegrove price £47 (£40 excl. VAT) Use these novel 8 bladed barn doors to control the spill of unwanted light in the scene. They can also be used to flag stray light from entering the lens and causing flare when the Lowel is being used as a back light or rim light. Suitable for both i-light and id-light.
2m XLR extension lead - Lovegrove price £18.80 (£16 excl. VAT) The Lowel id-light comes factory fitted with a short heat resistant lead, the perfect length for hand held use with the battery pack slung over ones shoulder. However, when the Lowel id light is rigged on a stand it is necessary to use an extension lead that will allow the battery to stay at ground level. The Lovegrove XLR extension lead is the perfect length and comes with colour coded ends for speedy rigging. The Lovegrove cable utilises arctic grade 1.5mm oxygen free copper conductors rated at 10A in a compact very flexible double insulated sleeve.
1m (XLR) In-car charging lead - Lovegrove price £15.25 (£13 excl. VAT). Charge your sealed lead acid batteries whilst on the move between shoots. An unfused car accessory plug to 4 pole XLR male plug on 1m of dual 1.5mm 10A rated pro grade rubber flex.

Lovegrove Battery packs - 12V 12Ah Battery £95 (£80.85 excl. VAT) - 12V 7Ah Battery £78 (£66.38 excl. VAT)

Every battery pack comes complete with a custom-made black canvas shoulder bag with it's own Lovegrove logo fabric label! They fit the batteries like a glove and they look very smart. We love them and we're convinced you'll love them too. :)

There are two battery types available: a 12Ah 12v cell or a 7Ah 12v cell. Unlike some units, the Lovegrove battery pack is fused with an inline 20mm 10A fuse to protect the cells and cables. A 12Ah pack will give 45 minutes of run time with the lamp on full power. This is perfect to light a bride and groom throughout their wedding ceremony for instance. The battery pack has a shoulder strap and the output is via a 150mm lead terminated in a satin chrome 4 pin XLR connector. The smaller 7Ah battery packs usually supplied with 50w lighting systems are available too. They can work with the Lowel id light and usually last for about 25 - 30 minutes. They have the added benefit of being lighter and may well suit you if you regularly use your Lowel id-light hand held. Both battery sizes can be charged with the same Ctek charger and lead.
