Don't see these discussed too much on here, and I understand the cost of some of these makes them very limiting to who would benefit from items like these. I was recently able to get some at work, and I figured I'd post some options that I've gotten a chance to use and have been extremely impressed by. For the money, they should be impressive..
Pelican cordless LED area lighting system - about $1,700
All I can say is this thing in incredible. 12,000 lumen max setting, fully adjustable brightness settings.. Masts extend to a height of about 6'. Weatherproof, Bluetooth enabled controls allow adjustment from a smartphone via an app. Digital countdown timer allows you to pick exactly how bright you can set this to get the runtime you might need. Lowest setting allows for 24 hour use. Can be used corded, or cordless, and charged via 110 or 12v with optional charging cord. My only wish is that they made a rough duty cord to use it as a corded system instead of the flimsy power cord it comes with. Would be nicer if the transformer was internal, but the incredible runtimes on a fully charged unit really makes no need for the cord.. this is the most heavy duty lighting system I've ever used.. smaller single head model is also pretty great, but this twin head system is just amazing.. the entire unit is self contained in a rolling suitcase style Pelican case that has an extendable handle, and has 2 other heavy duty carry handles for lifting and moving the unit during transport. Everything deploys in under a minute, and there is no cheap hardware to be found. The extendable masts are simple and easy to use. A 4 head unit is available too.cannot say enough good things about this. Unfortunately, these don't use Lithium batteries, but it is what it is.. the plastic organizer tray inside leaves something to be desired, ours already cracked but it's not important.

Larson Electronics corded LED tripod. About $450
Great tripod light, heavy duty construction, bright, lightweight, weatherproof, and both male and female 110 plugs so you can daisy chain them together.. 5000 lumens, tripod extends to 10' high. Only thing its missing, is an on/off switch - and I'll never understand why it's doesn't have one. This company has some pretty amazing stuff on its website, anything you could ever want or need as far a lighting options go.

Cheaper "do it yourself option" -
This is a 10,000 lumen COB LED outdoor floodlight that's mounted to a heavy duty tripod that is essentially made for DJ speakers. You can buy the stands and speaker bracket off Amazon for under $40 if you search. I paid more from Ohio Power tools for this tripod not realizing that's all it was.. I'll post the link on Amazon for this light head.. I can't imagine a need for something brighter than this for 95% of people.. the head is entirely made of cast aluminum. I think this tripod extends about 8' high.
This particular head doesn't look likes it's on Amazon anymore, but this is its 3000 lumen little brother for $49. I paid $129 for this one. Just posting this to show people you can make your own tripod floodlights with a little shopping.
