Abstract
An apparatus and method for moveable lighting of large areas includes moveable bases upon which can be mounted light poles and light fixtures that elevate lights to a substantially high level. Each base has a size and mass that allows the pole and light fixture(s) to freely stand, including against normal environmental conditions without tipping. The base can be moved from location to location and transported with conventional equipment eliminating dedicated trailers or trucks and eliminating a substantial labor and time to erect portable tower.
