The balloon is made of airtight, fire-retardant, PVC-type

months.The balloon can sustain at least 55 miles/hour
winds.
The lighting system of Multiquip's MOONLIGHT (MB1000,
MB400, MB400B, and MB150) is comprised of one "Metal
Halide" lamp. This lamp has no filament (electric arc) therefore
vibrations will not cause bulb failure. The bulbs can last up
to 10,000 hours. The MB1000W is equipped with a Tungsten
Carbide bulb. This bulb uses a filament and is not
recommended for use in high vibration areas.
For ease of service or transport, the lamp 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 MOONLIGHT over rough terrain. It is always
best to remove the lamp and pack it safely so it will not be
damaged.
