LIGHTING UNIT AND METHOD FOR USING SAME

摘要

The engineering solution relates to means for lighting a territory, mainly under emergency conditions. Advantageous effect of the invention is improving reliability and stability of a lighting plant, increasing convenience of carrying thereof and providing protection thereof during transportation. The advantageous effect is attained by a lighting plant comprising a base with supports, an inflatable shell secured to the base, and at least one electric lamp positioned inside the shell. The inner cavity of the shell is in communication with an air blower installed in the base. Each support has at least one joint enabling turn of the support and means for fixing the support in its working positions. The advantageous effect is also attained by a method of using the lighting plant, the method characterized in that the lighting plant is installed and secured on the power plant before the operation of deployment of the lighting plant from the transportation position into the working position is performed. The power plant is set on the ground between the supports of the lighting plant and then the slope angle of the supports and the projection length thereof are adjusted in such a way that the weight load of the lighting plant is evenly distributed over the supports and the power plant. After that the lighting plant is electrically connected to the power plant, the inflatable shell is inflated with air by means of an air blower and the lighting plant secured to the power plant is then used.
