GLOBUG LIGHTING SYSTEM — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #2 (11/03/08) — PAGE 13
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.
