general information
The Multiquip GBC/GBCE Lighting System is a general
purpose floodlight tower intended for emergency and
remote lighting needs. It is universally adaptable to all AC
power supplies and accepts 50/60 Hz, 100-240 V.
The GBC/GBCE uses a single 1,000 watt lamp with pure
white light for maximum illumination with a light coverage
of up to 150 feet. The standard balloon (GBP) that comes
with the GBC/GBCE provides 360° glarefree illumination.
The balloon is self-inflating and easy to install and inflate
in less than 20 seconds.
The GBC/GBCE has a three-stage mast that extends to
a height of up to 12 feet. It has a steerable cart design for
easy transportation. Three outriggers on the cart ensures
great stabilization. (GBCE includes an additional 35-inch
extension pole).
The GBC/GBCE can be powered by a variety of Multiquip's
series generators with an output power of 1.7 kW or
greater.
If an extension cord is necessary to connect to a power
source, refer to Table 3 to select the proper length.
