    Let \(L\) be a completely distributive lattice with an order-reversing involution and \((L^X, \delta)\) be an \(L\)-topological space, that is, \(\delta\) is a subset of \(L^X\) closed under finite infs and arbitrary sups. For each prime \(a\in L\), \(\iota_a(\delta) = \{\iota_a(\lambda) \mid \lambda\in\delta\}\) is a topology on \(X\), called the \(a\)-level topology of \(\delta\), where \(\iota_a(\lambda) = \{x\in X \mid \lambda(x)\not\leq a\}\). The author introduces a concept of connectedness of \(L\)-topological spaces via the connectedness of the level topologies of an \(L\)-topological space. Precisely, let \(a\in L\) be a co-prime and \(A\in L^X\) an \(L\)-subset in an \(L\)-topological space \((L^X, \delta)\). \(A\) is called \(a\)-connected if \(\iota_a(A)\) is connected in \((X, \iota_a(\delta))\) and \(A\) is called connected if \(A\) is \(a\)-connected for all co-primes \(a\in L\). Particularly, \((L^X, \delta)\) is connected if \(1_X\) is connected; or equivalently, for all primes \(a\in L\), the \(a\)-level topology of \((L^X, \delta)\) is connected. Properties of this kind of connectedness of \(L\)-topological spaces are studied in this paper. Particularly, it is showed that the Hutton unit interval \(I(L)\) and the \(L\)-real line \(R(L)\) are both connected; and the relationship between the connectedness of an \(L\)-topological space and that of its \(I(L)\)-induced space is discussed.
