AMENDED CLAI MS

received by the International Bureau on 14 February 2017 (14.02.2017)

CLAIMS OF INVENTION:

1. A lighting system, comprising:

a lighting apparatus being configured to exist in at least two states, the lighting apparatus including a head, a body, and a base in adjustable relationship with each other; wherein the lighting apparatus, in a first state, is expanded such that the body is disposed between the head and the base, the head being disposed apart from the base and including a cap having at least two light panels rotatably attached from a first juncture of the cap, each of the two light panels being rotatable relative to each other and being movable in at least two axes relative to the cap, and wherein, the lighting apparatus, in a second state, is tubular in shape, the body being collapsed such that the head and the base are proximate each other and closed about respective portions of the body.

2. (CANCELLED).

3. The lighting system as in Claim 1, wherein each of the light panels has a cover disposed on a first side and a light element disposed on an opposing second side.

4. The lighting system as in Claim 1, further comprising a third light panel rotatably

attached to the cap at a second juncture apart from the first juncture, the two light panels at the first juncture being movable in at least two axes relative to the third light panel at the second juncture.

5. The lighting system as in Claim 1, wherein the cap includes a gap configured to receive a portion of the light panels in the second state.

6. The lighting system as in Claim 1, wherein the body includes a first rod and a second rod, the first rod being smaller than the second rod such that a portion of the first rod is slidable into the second rod to cause the second state.

7. A lighting system, comprising: a light head having a plurality of light panels, at least two of the light panels depending in parallel from a first juncture of the light head and a third light panel depending from a second juncture of the light head, the panels being adjustable relative to each other; a body having at least two rods, the rods being configured to telescope relative to each other; a base having a plurality of feet; and a quick release mechanism for adjusting the body.

8. The lighting system as in Claim 7, wherein each light panel is configured to adjust in at least three axes.

9. The lighting system as in Claim 7, wherein the quick release mechanism includes a ring and a handle, the handle being configured to apply pressure to the ring to render the rods stationary.

10. The lighting system as in Claim 7, further comprising a collar configured to move about one of the rods and to adjust the feet.

11. The lighting system as in Claim 7, wherein the body further comprises a stand having a space defined therein, and further comprising an anchor disposed in the space, the anchor being configured to extend from the body to stabilize the system.

29

12. A method of employing a lighting system as in Claims 1, 7 or 17, the method comprising: providing a lighting assembly having a plurality of light panels and a stand assembly, the light panels being adjustable relative to each other in at least two axes; opening the lighting assembly to expose the light panels; extending the stand assembly; and adjusting the panels for illumination.

13. The method as in claim 12, wherein the light panels are adjustable in at least three axes.

14. The method as in claim 12, further comprising stabilizing the lighting assembly with an anchor disposed in the lighting assembly by extending the anchor to ground.

15. The method as in claim 12, further comprising a cap on the lighting assembly, the light panels being movably connected to the cap and adjustable relative to the cap and to each other.

16. The method as in claim 12, further comprising a power supply carried in the lighting assembly, the power supply in communication with the light panels.

17. A lighting system, comprising:

a lighting apparatus being configured to exist in at least two states, the lighting apparatus including a head, a body, and a base in adjustable relationship with each other; wherein the lighting apparatus, in a first state, is expanded such that the body is disposed between the head and the base, the head including a cap having a first pair of light panels depending from a first juncture of the cap and a second pair of light panels depending from a second juncture of the cap, the light panels of each pair being rotatable relative to each other and being

30 movable in at least two axes relative to the cap, and wherein, the lighting apparatus, in a second state, is tubular in shape, the body being collapsible such that the head and the base are proximate each other and closed about respective portions of the body.
