GB12BW/BS/BP LIGHTING SYSTEM — GENERAL INFORMATION

The Multiquip GloBug GB12W, GB12BS and GB12BP are general purpose portable glare-free lighting systems.Typical applications for these types of lighting systems include construction sites, emergency road crews and backyard parties.

Balloon Envelopes

The GloBug lighting system can be configured with a variety of balloon envelopes (canopy). Please contact the MQ sales department for the balloon of your choice. The GloBug GB12BW, GB12BS and GB12BP are shipped from the factory with the drum type balloon.

Lighting

Multiquip's GloBug lighting system is comprised of one "Metal Halide" 400-watt lamp. This lamp has an output of 34,000 lumens. Typical lighting coverage is in excess 90 ft. (27 meters) in a 360 degree pattern.

Power

These GloBug lighting systems are powered by a light weight electronic ballast that is built inside the lamp housing. The input power requirements for operating the lighting system is 120 VAC, 60 Hz @ 4.5 amps.

Setup (GB12BW)

The GB12BW lighting system can be setup quickly and easily. Tripod legs can be deployed in one quick easy step and can be adjusted to two different heights. The upper position will add an additional foot to the mast height. If desired an optional 35-inch (900 mm) extension pole can be added to the mast height. Please contact the MQ sales department if you wish to add this feature to your system.

In addition the unit is equipped with an air-assist mast lowering system.This system allows the mast to be retracted slowly so that the mast will not fall rapidly when released. This feature reduces the amount of vibration or shock to the lamp.

Setup (GB12BS)

The GB12BS lighting system (offset pole) is designed to be attached to a external piece of a equipment such as a paver (Figure 5).This system is equally easy to assemble. Simply attach the supplied support clamps to an external pole or support and you are ready.

GB12BP

When only a complete lamp assembly is required please order Model GB12BP.This model number includes the lamp, protective guard, balloon protective covering and all other components that make up the lamp assemby.

Transport

The GB12BW lighting system can be transported (Figure 6) quite easily in two carrying cases. The first case (tripod) weighs 16 lbs. (7.25 kg) and the second case (lamp assembly) weighs 15 lbs. (6.8 kg) for a combined weight of about 31 lbs. (7.25 kg).

For ease of service or transport, the lamp assembly is equipped with a quick-disconnect connector that allows the lamp fixture to be removed quickly.This feature is extremely useful during transport of the lighting system. It is always best to remove the lamp and pack it safely so it will not be damaged.
