Lowel introduces a new twist to our classic 60 second set-up Rifa: The eXchange System.
Its new bayonet mount lets you swap lampheads with a twist of the wrist.
Use your Rifa as you always have... Each model comes with a removable lamphead that use
the exact same lamps Rifa has always used. But now, the Rifa eXchange System's quick
exchange accessory lampheads expand your options.
Need less light? All 4 models can now go down to 125W AC. No AC current? All 4 can now go
DC battery power. Shooting in daylight? Now all Rifa's can now use our new high CRI daylight
fluorescent lamps.

60 Second Set-up
Unlike common, inefficient soft boxes that must first be assembled and then attached to a
light as an accessory, the Rifa is both light and soft box combined. Rifa-lites can easily go
from carry bag to stand, fully set up, in one minute or less.

The Accessory lampheads of the Rifa eXchange System offer increased versatility to Rifa users. Now your Rifa eX can use screw-threaded daylight fluorescent lamps, or lower wattage & lower voltage tungsten halogen lamps.
If you use your Rifa eX with its standard supplied lamphead, you would still set up & strike in
the normal manner. The standard supplied head for the Rifa eX models 55, 66 & 88 is the TH-X1000. The standard supplied head for the Rifa eX 44 is (the lower max. wattage) TH-X300.
The TH-X300 head will fit the 55, 66 & 88 Rifa eX's, but the TH-X1000 will not fit the Rifa eX 44.
If you use the fluorescent accessory heads, you will find that you can't pack up the light with them installed. Recommended practice is to store the Rifa eX with its supplied lamphead installed.
It is not necessary to remove the supplied standard head when storing or shipping the light.

Retrofitting Original Rifa's to the Rifa eX System
All original Rifa-lite models can be updated to Rifa eX models, either by available user upgrade kits or by the Lowel Repair Dept. Each retrofit replaces the center core of the Rifa
with a new core & a removable version of the same lamphead the original Rifa came with. User retrofits should only be done by a skilled electrician, or Lowel Repair Dept. If unsure,
contact Lowel or download & read the Rifa eX retrofit instructions for more information.
