  • Patent number: 10683998
    Abstract: A light stand includes a telescoping assembly having a longitudinal axis, a light selectively coupled to the telescoping assembly, and a support assembly having legs coupled to the telescoping assembly. The support assembly is moveable between a collapsed position and an operating position. The light stand further includes a positioning linkage coupled between the light and the telescoping assembly for enabling the light to be oriented in a variety of positions. The positioning linkage includes a first adjustment axis about which the light rotates. The first adjustment axis is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The positioning linkage further includes a second adjustment axis about which the light rotates. The second adjustment linkage is perpendicular to the first adjustment axis. The positioning linkage further includes a third adjustment axis about which the light rotates. The third adjustment axis is perpendicular to a length of the positioning linkage.

  • Patent number: 10634327
    Abstract: An area light includes a base having a first end and a second end, a pair of legs rotatably coupled to the first end of base, where the pair of legs is rotated towards the base when the light is in a stowed configuration and is rotated away from the base when the light is in an open configuration, and a light body having a light head. The light body is rotatably coupled to the base on the first end of the base, wherein the light body is rotated towards the base when the light is in the stowed configuration and is rotated away from the base when the light is in the open configuration. A light deploy mechanism couples the light body to the base. The light deploy mechanism is adjustable to move the light body between the stowed configuration and the open configuration.

  • Publication number: 20190346122
    Abstract: A site light including 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, where rotating the crank arm in a first direction causes the arm length to increase, and where rotating the crank arm in a second direction causes the arm length to decrease. The site light also includes a damper assembly in operable communication with the drive mechanism, where the damper assembly resists rotation of the drive mechanism when the crank arm rotates in the second direction, and where the damper assembly does not resist the rotation of the drive mechanism when the crank arm rotates in the first direction.
