Powermoon
Powermoon is a balloon-based lighting system suitable for road & railway infrastructure, outdoor events, entertainment, military, and search & rescue applications. Powermoon is packaged in a small, portable unit which may be quickly assembled on-site.
Powermoon HQI lamps produce five times more light than traditional tungsten halogen lamps for the same power rating, and last from two to fifteen times as long (depending on the model). Powermoon lamps also produce less glare, softer shadows, and a whiter light compared with traditional light sources.
Powermoon comes with a collapsible balloon and stand, a generator, an IP 67 control gear box, and a carrying case. Powermoon does not require an inflation fan and is therefore noise-free and lower in cost compared with other balloon-based lighting systems.

I've seen one of these in use at a fairground. While it did illuminate a wide area, probably quite efficiently, it was also very annoying. Wherever you were in the grounds, looking in the rough direction of the light would leave you blinded.
In dark areas, this means that once you've looked at it, you're blind until your eyes adjust to the darkness again.
The powermoon was only about 12 feet off the ground though, so perhaps if it was floated significantly higher, it might be less invasive.
