During disaster relief operations, portable lighting equipment for off-base domestic response is not available. Portable lighting supports 24-hour operations and is particularly useful during power outages. The lighting illuminates areas and improves visibility during search and rescue missions, debris clearing and removal activities, and excavation operations. Each kit includes six 2,000-watt light sets, and 3000 kilowatt generators capable of illuminating areas up to 16,000 square feet, and two 4000-watt stand-alone light sets with built-in generators that are capable of illuminating a 130,000 square foot area, which is roughly the size of a football field.
