Multiquip has been at the forefront of providing rental-ready diffused lighting systems for over 15 years. To meet the challenge of providing the best lighting solutions possible, the Multiquip series, GloBug, is often the preferred choice in applications such as emergency response, law enforcement, special events, construction sites, security lighting and indoor illumination. One such GloBug model, the GB8LED, represents the most compact, efficient and photometrically near-perfect solution for most lighting needs. By using its 800-watt LED lamps, users of this GloBug unit can project a clean, bright, 110,000- lumen light projection in a virtual circle. In other words, a shadowless 360-degree radiance that provides a one-foot-candle brightness at 68 feet away from its source in every direction. The operating benefits of the GB8LED include superior, high-colour-rendering LED lamps; an impact-resistant LED assembly with a 40,000-hour life cycle; a three-position (low, medium, high) dimmer switch; instant strike/re-strike capability; an internal e-ballast and fan assembly; a heat-resistant balloon bag; and an industrial-grade aluminum pentapod stand with three air-assist mast sections. The value of diffused LED lighting within the rental market cannot be overstated. Diffused lighting systems and their luminance range provide greater lucidity and glare-free signatures that significantly enhance the work or event site. Safety and efficiency as it relates to the job site is particularly enriched with diffused lighting.
