ABSTRACT:
A portable lighting apparatus includes an envelope which contains a frame supporting an illuminating device typically an electric light bulb inside the envelope. The envelope is mounted on a telescopic mast supported by a movable base element incorporating stabilising legs. The envelope may be inflatable or rigid. For an inflatable envelope, various sensors are provided for sensing deformation of the envelope and/or pressure in the envelope including a photosensor. A means to supply air or other gas to inflate the envelope are provided. A rigid envelope formed from two conjoined sheets of acrylic deformed into dome shapes is also disclosed which overcomes many of the problems of inflatable envelopes particularly, their slow inflation rate, the tendency to deform due to air currents and the adverse effect of punctures. Although a fan is not required for inflation of the rigid envelope fan forced air is preferred for cooling the electric light bulb.
