We needed wide, clear light but couldn\u2019t deal with glare. A balloon light was set up in minutes, and suddenly the whole site was comfortably lit. No shadows, no squinting.<\/p>\n<p>Balloon lights use internal blowers to inflate a tough fabric structure around a central light source\u2014usually LED or metal halide.
