How can one person alone in 5 minutes illuminate an area arching over 10,000 sq meters, without access to power, utilizing a low-cost system that is easily transportable in the trunk of an ordinary automobile?
The answer is: PRISM Inflatable Light.
The whole structure can be easily made to function by a single person, in conditions of complete darkness, in less than 3 minutes, making it possible to illuminate areas up to 10,000 sq meters (12000 sq yards).
The system consists of a metal halide lamp (1000W equivalent to 95000 lm of brightness) and supporting inflatable baloon 4.5 meters (15 feet) high, made of synthetic fabric, without a metallic structure. A series of axial fans constantly inflate air into the supporting structure, in which sufficient pressure is generated to guarantee the necessary stability to the system, bringing the light source up to the best operative level. During the inflation stage (3 minutes) the structure is enlarged vertically and can be made to operate even in narrow spaces. Anchorage of the structure by stainless steel stabilizing poles allows the system to operate even with wind gusts up to 30 miles per hour.
The system can be supplied with an autonomous generator small enough to be transported in the trunk of an ordinary minivan/SUV !!
System weight: 25 kg
Operating mode: 4-5 hours of work / 1-2 hours of idle
Generator: 3,5 kVA
Fuel consumption: 1 litr / hour
Optional rain cover allows operating the system during light rain
