Lowel V-light Instructions
The Lowel V-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 fixture unattended.
n Unplug fixture when not in use.
n V-light is available as either
a 120v model or 230v (CE approved) model.
Make certain that lamp voltage matches power
source voltage. Example: never connect
a 120 volt lamp to a 230 volt source.
n Units such as these emit
considerable light and heat, and if not
properly used, could be dangerous.
n V-light 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 expo-
sure, focus intensity and proximity. Therefore,
lights should be kept away from people.
n V-light safety glass tube must be
used to protect people and property in the
unlikely event of a defective lamp exploding.
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.

filament horizontal.
