Quick exchange lighting from Rifa - Rifa’s new push and twist quick-exchange
lampheads increase options for photographers.
Lowel, the Academy Award winning world leader in location lighting for film and
video, introduces a revolutionary upgrade to their popular, 60 second set-up,
Rifa Softlight System.
The new Lowel Rifa eXchange System (or Rifa eX for short) is a set of four
updated Rifa’s that replace the current models while greatly expanding their
versatility. Each new model of Rifa comes with a standard lamphead that uses the
same Rifa lamps as always. The twist is literally that the lampheads can quickly
swap for accessory heads, with a push and a twist. The lampheads take
screwthreaded daylight fluorescent lamps, single or in cluster, as well as lower
wattage & lower voltage tungsten-halogen & incandescent lamps.
Now, larger models of Rifa can use lower wattage lamps for reduced output with
the same beautiful Rifa softness. High CRI 5500k fluorescent lamps make lighting
in daylit environments with Rifa eX a breeze, too.
For those with previous models of Lowel Rifa, looking to move up to the eXchange
System, simple upgrade kits are available.
