V-light Mounts
Stands
The V-light will lock onto stands with top
studs up to 5/8” (16mm). We recommend the
either the Lowel Uni-stand or Uni TO Stand.
Where elevation greater than nine feet is
required, we recommend Lowel KS Stand
with Lowel Poles or Half Poles. Lowel
Weights add to stand stability and should be
used when appropriate. The V-light can be
suspended from beams, posts and tops of
sets with the use of a Lowel Space-clamps,
Lowel Grips, Interlinks, Tota-clamps or other
mounting accessories.

any of the ViP fixtures
atop doors and parti-
tions. Doors can be
open or closed.The
light can be inside or
outside room, since
swinging arm extends past most door jambs.
Tota-mount can be flipped over and nailed to
studio set walls or Gaffer-taped to windows or
tile, wood, metal and other wall surfaces.

tape attaches Lowel mounts to windows
and walls.

Mounting Tota-mount &
Vipod with Gaffer Tape
Use 12”of Gaffer-tape on each bar on Tota
Mount or side of Vipod and burnish down
with a coin. Avoid wallpaper, soft composition
board or flaking paint. Never attach to the
ceiling with tape. Use original Lowel Gaffer-
tape. Many substitutes leave adhesive residue
or lack sufficient strength. When properly
attached, Tota-mount or Vipod will support
the Iight for days. However, on dirty or poorly
bonded surfaces, or with improper or poorly
applied tape, there is the danger of the mount
falling down and causing serious damage.
Check adhesion periodically. Prevent direct
light from overheating tape. Remove tape
when cool, by peeling back diagonally. Tota-
mount should not be used with lights heavier
than 3 lbs. (1.33 kg)
Tota-clamp
Code: T1-30
Tota-clamp supports most lights
that fit standard 5/8” studs. Tota-
clamp can be attached to pipes,
stands, or flat surfaces. When
clamping on furniture, use thin
wood or cardboard to avoid mar-
ring. To rotate stud, turn wing nut
counterclockwise several turns.
The stud can be locked in any of four
positions; two for the 5/8” stud and two
for the end with the 1/4-20 tapped hole.
A 1/4-20 screw can be used to lock on
some microphone yokes and various
accessories. Tota-clamp has two snap-in
fittings for Flexi-shafts.
Scissor Mount
Code: CM-20
Attaches i-lights, and V-lights
to dropped ceiling: Clamp X
bars of grid lock to T-Bar of

stud and tighten. Pro lights
should use the Grid Lock for
dropped ceiling ounting.Avoid
mounting fixtures directly over people unless
secured with a safety cord or cable.
Safety Cable (3)
