A lighting tower attachment for attachment to an excavator or similar machinery has a telescopic boom having a distal pivot joint pivotally coupling a lighting array thereto and a proximal pivot joint that couples a proximal end of the telescopic boom to an excavator attachment. A boom tilting hydraulic ram acts across the proximal pivot joint to tilt the telescopic boom in use, at least one boom extending hydraulic ram connected to a hydraulic circuit of the excavator acts across telescopic members of the telescopic boom to extend the boom and a lighting array tilting hydraulic ram connected to another hydraulic circuit of the excavator acts across the distal pivot joint to tilt the lighting array to various angles with respect to the boom to direct the light emanating therefrom.
