Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin WACKER is expanding its lighting products with the addition of the LB 1 Light Balloon. This new light balloon quickly and easily brings glare-free light to the construction site so crews can keep working in evening, night and low light conditions. The LB 1 is ideal for general job site illumination, road work (non-glare), indoor illumination of concrete pours, party rentals, etc.
WACKER™s newest lighting solution offers a 1000 Watt metal halide balloon light, tripod and 120 Volt portable ballast creating a powerful and portable lighting package. The balloon™s heavy duty translucent white nylon diffuses light evenly with no glare and reduces shadows and contrast for bright clear light. The upper portion of the balloon is a reflective aluminum coated, durable Kevlar fabric that reflects the light down, maximizing lumen output at ground level.
WACKER™s new rugged light balloon tripod system is easy to set up and take down and offers two anchoring options for added stability; carabineers for tie down and staking through the bottom of the legs. The three-piece stainless steel tripod is height adjustable up to 13.5 feet and is intended for outdoor use.
The new LB 1 portable lighting package weighs 93.6 pounds and provides 99,000 lumens (mean) covering over 35,700 sq. ft. area at 1-foot candle. A simple, one step mechanical opening system eliminates noisy fans, and holds its shape in windy conditions. The new light balloon complements WACKER”s line of utility equipment that includes a line of line towers, portable and mobile generators.
