Abstract
Certain preferred embodiments of the present invention provide an improved light raising and lowering apparatus and method for a basketball goal. In some improved embodiments, an extension arm with a light attaches to an adjustment mechanism and further attaches pivotally to a basketball goal support structure, where the light moves upward when the adjustment mechanism pulls on the extension arm. As a preferred feature, the extension arm rotates to a raised position where the extension arm may be secured without requiring manual adjustments. As another preferred feature, the light raising and lowering apparatus may be attached to a previously assembled basketball goal.
