Product Overview: GloBug Balloon + Spot Lighting
The GB43SC, part of MultiQuip’s acclaimed GloBug family, is a four-lamp, metal-halide lighting unit designed for quick mobility and all-terrain performance. The cart features puncture-proof wheels, a stable zinc-coated steel frame, easy-to-use outriggers, and a safety winch to raise or lower the mast without risk. The core of the lighting solution comes from four independently adjustable 400W metal halide lamps, housed beneath a glare-reducing balloon diffuser. This system projects light in multiple directions for sites or events where wide and deep area coverage, minimized shadows, and operator safety are essential.
Core Technical Specifications
Major Features & Benefits
True 360-Degree Balloon Diffusion
The GB43SC’s balloon system diffuses harsh metal halide projection into a soft, even light that eliminates “hot spots” and deep, disorienting shadows. It’s ideal for critical high-mobility applications—roadwork, bridge repair, nighttime pours, or public events—where the balance of clear visibility and minimized glare is vital for safety and quality.
Individually Adjustable Lamps
Each 400W lamp head is independently adjustable, allowing precise targeting of light to cover multiple work zones, tricky angles, or to “zone” lighting where needed. Flexibility makes the GB43SC especially useful for highway lane closures, emergencies, or complex event layouts.
Super Mobility on 4-Wheel Cart
The industrial-grade cart with large, puncture-proof wheels and zinc plating is easy to maneuver, even over rough or soft ground. The mast is raised and lowered safely with a winch, while compact stowing and a lifting hook mean simple loading to a truck or van for transport.
Tool-Free, Rapid Deployment
No tools are required to adjust or deploy lamps—set up is fast, even under pressure. The cart can carry several units in a standard pickup or service vehicle, so large jobsites can be illuminated in minutes.
