Jones often comes along to demo some of Airstars products. He usually brings a two metre sphere
made by Airstar with a light source of
up to four, one kilowatt bubbles.
First, the balloon comes out of the box.
Colin Jones in command.
A little inflation from a rather heavy (65
kilos) cylinder of Helium. It weighs only a half kilo less when empty.
Just four of these 1K projector bubbles go in
to the centre yoke thingy.
Initially, Colin runs them in gently at a low
setting. This ensures long bubble life. It takes about £35 worth of
helium to inflate.
Let her rise on 30 metres of cable or so, and
you've got an electric moon.
At this height, it gave enough brightness for
a TV camera exposure without gain. Clearly, the much more powerful MSR
bubbled one would be more appropriate to a night shoot. Damn fine party
light mind!

these lights, then contact Colin Jones on: 07850 279995 or Airstar direct
