## Abstract

An attachable lighting system for a drilling rig. A method of providing lighting to a drilling rig site comprising, attaching at least one light fixture directly to the crown of a drilling rig on each of at least two sides, wherein the light fixture contains a fixed or removable light fixture attachment connecting the light fixture to the crown, resulting in one or more of enhanced evenness of site lighting, reduced shadows, reduced light pollution, reduced power consumption and/or reduced diesel usage.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of providing lighting to a drilling rig site comprising, attaching at least one light fixture to the crown of a drilling rig on each of at least three sides of the crown, wherein the light fixture contains a fixed or removable light fixture attachment connecting the at least one light fixture to the crown, resulting in one or more of enhanced evenness of site lighting, reduced site shadows, reduced site light pollution, reduced site power consumption and/or reduced site diesel usage, wherein the light fixture and light fixture attachment comprise a single piece.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, additionally including secondary containment.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the lighting is provided to 180 degrees to 360 degrees around the drilling site.
