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
34,200 lumens. Typical lighting coverage is in excess of
90 feet (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 assembly.

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. (14 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.
