secure and the knob tightened.
■
NEVER attempt to replace lamp with the power on. Always
unplug the power cord when changing the lamp.
■
NEVER unplug the lamp's AC power cable during

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.
The Moonlight Lighting System provides illumination without
the need to constantly inflate the balloon.
The Moonlight Balloon comes in different models:
1000 Series - MB1000, MB1000W
400 Series - MB400, MB400B
DANGER - MOONLIGHT Overhead Obstructions
ALWAYS make sure the area
above MOONLIGHT is open
and clear of overhead power
lines and other obstructions.
The tower extends in excess
of 16 ft. (5 meters). Contact
with overhead power lines or
other obstructions could

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.

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.
