Multiquip GB12BP Manuel D’Utilisation

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
