## Abstract

A portable lighting system for a drilling rig. The lighting system is designed to withstand the difficult and extreme weather conditions typically experienced in drilling rig environments. The pulley and slider arraignments are designed for minimal friction. The overall pulley design for the lifting of the unit (for, example, the way the cables are orientated) is extremely robust. The outrigger design include fold out and lock in place. The power source can run a duel transfer switch setup powered by an external supply (like the rig power) or from its own 100% backed up generator. Lighting is the lightest and brightest available. Tower is skid mounted and mobile with the use of a truck. Top light banks swivel and tilt.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A transportable lighting system comprising:
a. a transportable, skid base,
b. a stabilizing outrigger system attached to the base,
c. at least one power generator attached to the skid base,
d. a transfer switch connected to at least one power generator,
e. an external power supply adapter connected to the transfer switch,
f. an extendable tower system have a base end and a top end attached to the skid base, and
g. at least one set of lights attached to the top end.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)
