## Abstract

A site light including a body, the body including a base, and a handle assembly spaced a distance from the base to at least partially define a housing volume therebetween. The site light also including an arm, the arm having a first end fixedly coupled to the body and a second end opposite the first end to define an arm length therebetween, where the second end of the arm is movable relative to the body to adjust the arm length, and the site light including a light assembly coupled to and movable together with the second end of the arm relative to the body, and where the light assembly is adjustable between a stowed position in which at least a portion of the light assembly is positioned within the housing volume, and a second position, in which the light assembly is positioned outside the housing volume.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A site light comprising:
a body, the body including:
a base, and
a handle assembly spaced a distance from the base to at least partially define a housing volume therebetween;
an arm defining an arm axis, the arm having a first end fixedly coupled to the body and a second end opposite the first end to define an arm length therebetween, wherein the second end of the arm is movable axially along the arm axis relative to the body to adjust the arm length;
a light assembly coupled to and movable together with the second end of the arm relative to the body, and wherein the light assembly is adjustable between a first position in which at least a portion of the light assembly is positioned within the housing volume, and a second position, in which the light assembly is positioned outside the housing volume, and
wherein only changing the arm length causes the light assembly to move between the first position and the second position.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The site light of claim 1, wherein the body includes a plurality of channels extending between the base and the handle assembly.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The site light of claim 2, further comprising a plurality of leg assemblies, each leg assembly being mounted to a corresponding one of the channels.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The site light of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of leg assemblies, wherein each leg assembly includes an elongated leg having a first end pivotably coupled to the body and a contact surface opposite the first end.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The site light of claim 4, wherein the first end is pivotably coupled to the body at a location proximate the base.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The site light of claim 4, wherein each leg assembly includes a linkage extending between and coupled to both the body and a corresponding leg.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The site light of claim 1, wherein the body further includes a housing, the housing including one or more side panels extending from the base, and a top panel, wherein the body defines a second volume between the top panel and the handle assembly, and wherein the light assembly is at least partially positioned within second volume when the light assembly is in the first position.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The site light of claim 7, wherein the base, one or more side panels, and top panel at least partially enclose a base volume therein, and wherein a power system is positioned within the base volume.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The site light of claim 1, wherein the handle assembly completely surrounds the arm axis.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The site light of claim 1, wherein the handle assembly encloses an aperture, and wherein the light assembly enters and exits the housing volume via the aperture.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The site light of claim 1, further comprising a wheel rotatably coupled to the base.

### Claim 12

A site light comprising:
a body having a bottom, a top opposite the bottom, and a body axis passing through both the top and the bottom;
a telescopic arm assembly coupled to the body, wherein the telescopic arm varies in length along an arm axis that is parallel to the body axis;
a light assembly coupled to the telescopic arm and movable with respect to the body; and
a leg assembly coupled to the body and adjustable between a stowed position and a deployed position, wherein the leg assembly includes:
a leg having a first end pivotably coupled to the body proximate the bottom thereof, and a contact surface opposite the first end configured to contact a support surface, and
a linkage extending between and coupled to both the leg and the body, wherein the linkage includes a first end that is slidable and pivotable and a second end opposite the first end that is only pivotable as the leg assembly moves between the stowed position and the deployed position, and wherein the first end is adjustable between a locked configuration in which the first end is restricted from sliding and an unlocked configuration in which the first end is free to slide.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The site light of claim 12, wherein the linkage engages the leg at a position between the first end and the contact surface.

### Claim 14 (depends on 12)

The site light of claim 12, further comprising a second leg assembly, and wherein the first leg assembly is operable independently of the second leg assembly.

### Claim 15 (depends on 12)

The site light of claim 12, wherein the first end of the linkage is coupled to the body, and wherein the second end of the linkage is coupled to the leg.

### Claim 16

A site light comprising:
a body, the body including:
a base,
a housing supported by the base and including a plurality of panels, the plurality of panels enclosing a first housing volume, and
a handle assembly spaced a distance from the housing opposite the base, the handle assembly and the housing defining a second housing volume therebetween;
an arm, the arm having a first end fixedly coupled to the body and a second end opposite the first end to define an arm length therebetween, wherein the second end of the arm is movable relative to the body to adjust the arm length; and
a light assembly coupled to and movable together with the second end of the arm relative to the body, and wherein the light assembly is adjustable between a stowed position in which at least a portion of the light assembly is positioned within the second housing volume, and a second position, in which the light assembly is completely positioned outside the second housing volume; and
wherein the arm defines an arm axis, and wherein the handle assembly completely surrounds the arm axis.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The site light of claim 16, wherein the plurality of panels includes a top panel, and wherein the second housing volume is defined between the top panel and the handle assembly.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The site light of claim 17, wherein the arm extends through the top panel.

### Claim 19 (depends on 17)

The site light of claim 17, wherein the arm defines an arm axis, and wherein the top panel is oriented normal to the arm axis.

### Claim 20 (depends on 15)

The site light of claim 15, wherein the body includes a track, and wherein the first end slides along the length of the track.

### Claim 21 (depends on 16)

The site light of claim 16, wherein a power system is at least partially positioned within the first housing volume.
