GENERAL INFORMATION The GB2000 lamp fixture is a difused balloon light that is designed to be mounted and operated on most convential mobile light tower masts. Its design and features permit clean, difused light to be cast uniformly over 232 feet (70.7 meters). The shadow-less lighting dramatically reduces glare in the work area. This type of lighting improves safety and enhances the illuminated area. the GB2000 is ideal for highway work, construction job sites, security support, and special events.
