COMPONENTS Figure 4 shows the location of the components for the GloBug lighting system. The function of each component is described below: 1. AC Power Cable — Connect this cable to a 120 VAC, 60 Hz power source. 2. Balloon — This balloon is made of heat-resistant polyester, with a diameter of 33 inches (850 mm). 3. Balloon Cover/Carrying Case — When zipped, this protective cover acts like a carrying case. The complete lamp assembly is enclosed within the cover-carrying case.
SETUP TRIPOD DEPLOYMENT 1. Place the tripod on a firm level surface so that it will not slide or turn over. Make sure there is enough space around the unit for the tripod legs to be deployed. 2. Remove tripod from its carrying case. The tripod legs are secured by a black velcro strap (Figure 5). Squeeze both tabs on each side of buckle to unlock strap and allow tripod legs (Figure 6) to be deployed. DEPLOYMENT SQUEEZE VELCRO STRAP TRIPOD LEGS Figure 6. Tripod Deployment BUCKLE 3.
