Product Overview: Revolutionary Glare-Free Balloon Lighting

The GBX24BK features a unique 2400W LED balloon lamp capable of producing up to 399,000 lumens. Its diffused balloon design projects soft, 360-degree illumination over an area exceeding 225 feet in diameter, eliminating harsh shadows and blinding hotspots that are common to traditional spot towers. This “daylight” quality light—at a color temperature of 5,700 Kelvin—improves worker safety, productivity, and reduces eye strain in every environment.

The balloon inflates in just 15 seconds, deploying glare-free illumination with a touch of the controls. The instant-start LED array means there’s no warm-up, cool-down, or re-strike wait, and each lamp chip is rated for over 40,000 hours—enabling years of low-maintenance operation on even the busiest sites.

Key Technical Specifications

Features and Advantages

Ultimate 360° Coverage with Minimal Shadow
The balloon-diffuser softens and projects 399,000 lumens in all directions, ensuring full visibility with zero harsh glare—a crucial safety advantage for both active jobsites and public event areas.

Long-Lasting, Efficient Operation
A 45-gallon tank and Kubota Z482 diesel mean up to 140–200 hours of runtime on a single fill. Contractors can run for multiple shifts or days without interruption, dramatically reducing refueling needs and site logistics.

Superb Durability and Safety
LEDs run cool to the touch (unlike metal halides), reducing fire risk and burn hazards. Shock-resistant, water-resistant lamp assemblies thrive in harsh weather and dusty environments, while four solid outriggers/jacks keep the unit stable on any terrain.

Fast, Safe, and Simple Deployment
A single operator can extend the mast to 27', inflate the balloon head in 15 seconds, and activate the full lighting array using a compact, user-friendly control panel. The DOT trailer and forklift pockets ensure fast site changes and quick hauling.

Eco-Friendly, Low Cost-of-Ownership
LED balloon lighting reduces CO₂ and operating costs by up to 85% compared to older towers. With a 40,000-hour lamp life, downtime for bulb changes is virtually eliminated, making this a rental fleet favorite and a sustainable investment for any contractor.

Best-Fit Applications

• Major Construction and Highway Work: Prevents glare and shadow problems on roads, bridges, tunnels, and large site pours.
