GENERAL INFORMATION
The Multiquip GloBug GB3LED is a general purpose,
portable, glare-free lighting systems Typical applications for
these types of lighting systems include construction sites,
emergency road crews and backyard parties.
LIGHTING
This GloBug lighting system is comprised of LED lamps
in a shock-resistant, waterproof LED assembly. The LED
assembly has an output of 38,000 lumens. The LEDs have a
long operating life of up to 40,000 hours. The lighting system
has a 3-stage dimming control (100 W, 200 W, 300 W).
SETUP
The GB3LED lighting system can be set up quickly and
easily. Tripod legs can be deployed in one quick easy step
and can be adjusted to two different heights.
In addition the unit is equipped with a gas-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.
TRANSPORT
The GB3LED lighting system can be transported (Figure 3)
quite easily in two carrying cases.
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.
