Lowel Lights - Lowel DP

I'm about to add an additional light to my kit, the Lowel DP. Lowel lights are known for their ruggedness and relatively affordable power. The Lowel DP sticks to that same methodology. This compact, powerful light is often overlooked by videographers, but is very popular in Real Estate. Looking at the exterior, you will notice it is very similar to the Omni by design. But the real kicker is the power. The Lowel DP is able to accept up to a 1000w lamp, and if you haven't guessed it, DP stands for Double Power. This light is very inexpensive, and is available in several different kits on the Lowel website.

Another great thing about this light is the versatility. You can easily set this up as a fill light. Or, if you need some powerful directional light, you can purchase these barndoors for less than $100 bucks!



Add a gel frame to the kit and for around $400 you have a 1k ready to be balanced for daylight or incandescent. You can also pick up some ND filters to further soften the output. For someone that needs to move around quickly and may be on a limited budget, it is hard not to have at least a couple of these in your kit. I say no matter the budget this is a light worth having.
