MOONLIGHT LIGHTING SYSTEM — GENERAL INFORMATION

The Multiquip MOONLIGHT Lighting System is a general purpose glare-free floodlight intended for applications such as security lighting, traffic control, freeway projects, jobsites, emergency lighting, indoor lighting, corporate functions and backyard parties.

Bulbs

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.

MBS - 2-Wheel Transport Stand MBP - Mounting Pole MBT - Tripod (for MB150 and MB400 only)

Balloons

The balloon is made of airtight, fire-retardant, PVC-type material, and once it is inflated, can stay taut for months.The balloon can sustain at least 55 miles/hour winds.

DANGER - Mounting Accessory Tipping

ALWAYS make sure the mounting stand is properly

secured to prevent tipping! Use sandbags or stakes to secure the mounting accessory as necessary.
