Abstract
A portable lighting tower includes a frame, an adjustable mast, multiple legs, a controller, and a battery pack. The adjustable mast is coupled to the frame and includes a light. The multiple legs each include an actuator operable to deploy and retract the respective leg. The controller is operatively coupled to the light and the actuators and configured to control operation of the light and the actuators. The battery pack is electrically coupled to the controller, the light, and the actuators. The light is dimmable between a maximum setting and a minimum setting, and the controller operates each of the linear actuators to deploy or retract the respective leg response to a user input.
