Abstract: A method of advertising includes using light towers for new uses. Specifically, a skeleton may be employed to connect to a frame supporting at least one LED light from a frame connected to a mast of the light tower. The skeleton may locate a first display at a desired distance from the at least one LED light to backlight the first display. While first displays may be used with many embodiments, still other embodiments may have a second display as a vertically oriented display along a portion of the mast. The second display may deploy with the extension of mast portions for at least some embodiments.

Abstract: A light tower has a mast, preferably provided in sections which can lift, some possibly with a rack and pinion system, and others possibly with a winch and pulley system. Some embodiments have a remote control to raise and lower the mast. Some embodiments have an array of lights atop the mast which can be rotated not only relative to horizontal light axes, but also relative to a horizontal array axis which is parallel to, but not collinear with, the horizontal light axes. Furthermore, some embodiments preferably provide at least one, if not a number of lights which can be unplugged from the array and connected into connections at the housing while still allowing for rotation of the lights (such as about horizontal and/or vertical axes).

Abstract: A hybrid light tower provides a way to connect a light tower to one of a shore power connection, such as 120V AC or a generator supported by a housing on an axle through a relay. Some embodiments also may have a solar panel and/or batteries for providing electrical power to LED lights of the light tower which require significantly less electrical power than prior art designs. Some embodiments may not have generators, but many will.
