The following safety guidelines should always be used when
operating any GloBug Lighting System:
GENERAL SAFETY
■
DO NOT operate or service this
equipment before reading this entire
manual.
■
This equipment should not be operated by persons under
18 years of age.
■
NEVER operate this equipment without proper protective
clothing, shatterproof glasses, steel-toed boots and other
protective devices required by the job.
ALWAYS make sure that the GB12BW (tripod) lighting
system is placed on secure firm level ground so that it
cannot slide or shift around, endangering workers. Also
keep the immediate area free of bystanders.
■
ALWAYS keep area behind lighting system clear of people
while raising and lowering mast.
■
To prevent the lighting system from overturning, NEVER
use in winds that exceed 22 mph(10m/s).
■
To prevent the GB12BW (tripod) lighting system from
tipping, ALWAYS place tripod on a firm flat surface.
Surface slant should not exceed 5 degrees.
■
The GloBug lighting system should only be used in
temperatures between 23°-104° Fahrenheit (-5° to 40°
Celsius). Failure to comply with these operating
parameters could cause the lamp to malfunction and
shorten the ballast life.
■
NEVER use any GloBug lighting system in
or areas of high humidity that could generate electrical
storms.
MAST SAFETY
rain, snow

When transporting the tripod lighting system, always
place tripod in the
stow position,
then place tripod into
BALLOON SAFETY AND CARE
■
its carrying case.
■
ALWAYS remove the balloon/lamp assembly from the
■
mast when transporting any of the GloBug lighting
systems. This will prevent damage to the bulb due to
vibration.
■
NEVER leave the balloon/lamp exposed during transport.
■
Exposure to excess wind or rain could damage the
balloon's nylon cover.
■
ALWAYS place the balloon inside its protective cover
■
during transport. Be sure the cover is secured tightly
around the balloon/lamp assembly.
LAMP SAFETY AND CARE
■
■
NEVER leave any grease or oil residue on lamp surface
when replacing or removing lamp. This can create hot
spots, reducing the service life of the lamp.
■
ALWAYS make sure the lamp surface is clean and dry.
■
ALWAYS replace with MQ recommended type lamp. See
■
■
parts section of this manual.
■
NEVER use force when installing the lamp. Excessive
force could cause the lamp to break causing bodily harm.
■
ALWAYS make sure the lamp guard is installed correctly.
NEVER deform the lamp guard.
■
NEVER attempt to replace lamp with the power on. Always
unplug the power cord from the generator or power source
when changing the lamp.
■
NEVER unplug the lamp's AC power cable during
operation.
■
ALWAYS allow a sufficient amount of time for the lamp to
cool
before changing. The possibility exists of severe
burns.
■
ALWAYS have a
trained technician
to install and remove
lamp, or replace any damaged fixture wiring.

grounded.
To prevent serious burns, NEVER touch or unzip the
balloon envelope when the lamp is on.
To prevent the balloon from deformation, NEVER use any
GloBug lighting system in strong winds.
DO NOT place the balloon inside its protective cover until
the lamp has had a sufficient amount of time to cool
down. This will prevent the balloon's nylon cover from
being burned (touching the lamp surface).
ALWAYS place the balloon inside its protective cover
after each use. This will prolong the life of the balloon
material, keeping it protected from harsh environmental
elements.
DO NOT use a damaged balloon. Replace balloon
immediately if damaged. In addition, a damaged balloon
will not inflate properly, and may become more damaged
by touching the hot lamp surface.
ALWAYS keep the balloon away from sharp objects and
excessive amounts of heat (

DO NOT use excessive force when zipping and unzipping
the balloon. Be gentle with the zipper mechanism. If the

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.
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.
(B)
Figure 5. GB12BS Attachment (Paver)
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.
