A system for illuminating a rig site, the system comprising:

• a crown deck mounted to a rig at a rig site, the crown deck comprising a left portion, a middle portion, and a right portion, wherein the left portion and the right portion rotationally attached to opposite sides of the middle portion, and when the left portion and the right portion are rotated upward by a pre-determined angle relative to the middle portion, the crown deck is configured for transport to a new rig site;
• a handrail, with portions of the handrail positioned along at least a portion of an outer perimeter of the crown deck formed by the left portion, middle portion, and right portion, wherein the handrail comprises a second left portion attached to the left portion of the crown deck, a second middle portion attached to the middle portion of the crown deck, and a second right portion attached to the right portion of the crown deck;
• a support structure mounted to the middle portion of the crown deck, the support structure comprising a plurality of horizontal supports rigidly attached to a plurality of vertical supports, wherein the plurality of horizontal supports are supported at a vertical elevation above the handrail by the plurality of vertical supports, with the plurality of vertical supports welded to a top surf ace of the middle portion of the crown deck;
• and
• a plurality of light fixture assemblies mounted to the plurality of horizontal supports, wherein each one of the plurality of light fixture assemblies is rotatable, relative to the plurality of horizontal supports, between a stowed position and a deployed position, wherein the stowed position locates a respective one of the plurality of light fixture assemblies radially spaced away from an outer perimeter of the crown deck and toward a center of the crown deck.
