A charging device for a portable light includes a receptacle for receiving a portable light therein and a pair of latch arms that are pivotable for engaging a light body of the portable light when the portable light is placed in the receptacle.

A portable tower trailer having a light tower housing constructed to allow for both stacking and nesting which is beneficial in both storage and shipping of light towers is disclosed. The portable tower trailer employs a frame having a hinged axle that allows the wheels to operate in a conventional manner. The hinged axle further allows the wheels to be rotated upward allowing the frame to rest flush on the ground or stacked upon a similar shaped portable tower. The stackable light tower is constructed having a base employing an engine system and a fuel tank; and a mast pivotally coupled to the base and movable between a storage configuration and a positioning configuration. The storage configuration is when the mast is folded over an upper surface of the base whereby an additional light tower base or tower trailer may be placed or stacked over the top of the first light tower base.

A stackable enclosure for support of a mast stored in horizontal position and rotatable to a vertically deployed position. The enclosure employs a housing have sidewalls constructed and arranged to support a plurality of stacked enclosures. The dimensions of the enclosure with wheels can allow for the transporting of thirty units on a single 48 drop deck trailer. The enclosure has a hinged lid to allow ease of access to the interior which can house a power system to operate a bank of lights. Outriggers positioned along each corner of the enclosure provide stability to the mast in high winds. A hinged axle can be used to pivot enclosure wheels upward, allowing the enclosure to rest flush on a trailer deck or ground surface.

An air exhausting mechanism for a mobile illuminating light tower includes a cooler, an air discharge hood, and a fan. The cooler and the air discharge hood are respectively disposed on two sides of a rear canopy panel. The cooler is mounted on a bottom plate, and is located on the inner side of the rear canopy panel. The air discharge hood is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the rear canopy panel. The cooler is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. An air exhausting groove is formed in the rear canopy panel. The fan is disposed at the air inlet of the cooler. The air exhausting groove is opposite to the air outlet. The air discharge hood covers the air exhausting groove, and the bottom of the air discharge hood is open. The mobile illuminating light tower is safe and environmentally friendly.

An apparatus includes a mounting component with an opposed exterior surface configured to adapt to a curvature of a helmet via an attachment portion and angularly defined guide rails and friction slots. A cradle includes an exterior portion configured to receive an accessory and friction receiving coupler to integrate said cradle to said mounting component whereby cradle will travel non-linearly along the angularly defined guiderails of the mounting component. Friction inducing elements increase friction between the mounting component and the cradle where the friction is induced by mechanical elements, where the mechanical elements are adjustable by hand power.

A hybrid light tower includes an engine, a permanent magnet generator configured to be driven by the engine, a battery pack including a plurality of lithium-ion battery cells, an extendible mast configured to move between a lowered position and a raised position, and a light assembly including a plurality of light emitting diodes. The generator is configured to produce a first DC power. The battery pack is directly electrically coupled to the generator to receive the first DC power from the generator to charge the battery pack. The light assembly is coupled to the mast and the light emitting diodes electrically coupled to the battery pack to receive a second DC power from the battery pack. The light tower does not include a battery charger connected to the battery pack.
