Abstract: An illuminated lighting stand has a lighting fixture head mount, a bottom base, and an elongated, upright illumination pole extending between the head mount and the bottom base. The illumination pole consists of an elongated, upright skeletal support pipe, RGB tape surrounding the support pipe, diffusing material circumscribing the RGB tape, and a transparent outer tube covering the diffusing material, all these elements extending the length of the illumination pole. An electrical power supply and Wi-Fi electronics are housed within the base to illuminate and control the illumination sequencing and functioning of the light stand.
