Abstract

A site light including a body, a power system with an AC input and battery terminal, and a telescopic arm assembly supported by the body, where the telescopic arm includes a first end fixed relative to the body and a second end opposite and movable with respect to the first end. The site light also includes a light assembly in operable communication with the power system and coupled to and movable together with the second end of the telescopic arm, where the light assembly is operable in a first light mode in which the light assembly outputs approximately 13,000 lumens of light, and a second light mode in which the light assembly outputs approximately 20,000 lumens of light.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A site light comprising:
a body;
a telescopic arm assembly supported by the body, wherein the telescopic arm includes a first end fixed relative to the body and a second end opposite and movable with respect to the first end;
a light assembly coupled to and movable together with the second end of the telescopic arm;
a track coupled to the body, wherein the track defines a track axis;
a latch coupled to and movable relative to the track in a direction parallel to the track axis; and
a leg assembly, wherein the leg assembly includes a first end having a contact surface and a second end opposite the first end, and wherein the leg assembly is movable relative to the track between a stowed and deployed position, and wherein the latch is configured to releasably engage the leg assembly to retain the leg assembly in the stowed position.

2. The site light of claim 1 , further comprising a button in operable communication with the latch, and wherein the button is movable relative to the track in a direction parallel to the track axis.

3. The site light of claim 2 , wherein the button is in operable communication with the latch via a control rod.

4. The site light of claim 3 , wherein the track defines a groove, and wherein the control rod is at least positioned within and slides along the groove.

5. The site light of claim 1 , wherein the latch engages the leg assembly proximate the first end.

6. The site light of claim 1 , wherein the second end of the leg assembly is coupled to and movable along the track in a direction parallel to the track axis.

7. The site light of claim 6 , wherein the latch is a first latch, and wherein the second end of the leg assembly includes a second latch adjustable between a locked configuration, in which the second end of the leg assembly is fixed relative to the track, and an unlocked configuration, in which the second end of the leg assembly is movable relative to the track.

8. The site light of claim 7 , wherein the second latch includes a lock element that is pivotable with respect to the leg assembly.

9. The site light of claim 8 , wherein the track defines a plurality of apertures positioned along the axial length thereof, and wherein the lock element is at least partially received within a corresponding one of the plurality of apertures.

10. A site light comprising:
a body;
a light assembly;
a track coupled to the body, wherein the track defines a track axis;
a latch coupled to and movable relative to the track;
a button coupled to and movable relative to the track;
a control rod extending between and coupled to both the latch and the button so that the latch, the button, and the control rod move together as a unit relative to the track; and
a leg assembly, wherein the leg assembly includes a first end having a contact surface and a second end opposite the first end, and wherein the leg assembly is movable relative to the track between a stowed and deployed position, and wherein the latch is configured to releasably engage the leg assembly.

11. The site light of claim 10 , wherein the latch, the button, and the control rod all move in a direction parallel to the track axis.

12. The site light of claim 10 , wherein the second end of the leg assembly moves along the track in a direction parallel to the track axis as the leg assembly moves between the stowed and deployed positions.

13. The site light of claim 12 , wherein the latch is a first latch, and further comprising a second latch coupled to the leg assembly proximate the second end.

14. The site light of claim 13 , wherein the second latch maintains the leg assembly in the deployed position.

15. The site light of claim 10 , wherein the latch maintains the leg assembly in the stowed position.

16. The site light of claim 10 , wherein the latch engages the leg assembly proximate the first end.

17. The site light of claim 10 , wherein the button is positioned so that it is accessible when the leg assembly is in the stowed position.
