TOTA-LED-XL Daylight LED Floodlight
USER MANUAL

2
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.
Thank you for choosing Lowel.
