  • Publication number: 20180119935
    Abstract: A site light includes a body, an arm coupled to the body having an adjustable arm length, a light assembly coupled to the arm opposite the body, and a drive mechanism with a crank arm rotatable about a first axis. Rotating the crank arm in a first direction causes the arm length to increase. Rotating the crank arm in a second direction causes the arm length to decrease. The drive mechanism is adjustable between a first configuration, where the crank arm can only rotate in the first direction, and a second configuration, where the crank arm can be rotated in the first direction and the second direction.
