1. A method of installing a precise LED lighting system with sharper cutoff and increased beam control as compared to general purpose lighting at a target area comprising:
a. shipping to a site a plurality of lighting assemblies, each lighting assembly comprising:
i. a support structure assembly;
ii. a crossarm assembly adapted for mounting to the support structure assembly;
iii. a plurality of knuckle assemblies adapted for mounting to the crossarm assembly; and
iv. a plurality of LED lighting fixtures adapted for mounting to the crossarm assembly via the knuckle assemblies, each of the LED lighting fixtures comprising a plurality of LED light sources and at least one of:
1. Local light directing means;
2. Local visoring means; or
3. remote visoring means;
b. assembling at or near a ground level of the site the plurality of lighting assemblies to create an initial version of the precise LED lighting system;
c. lifting the initial version of the precise LED lighting system onto a base;
d. orienting the initial version of the precise LED lighting system on the base towards the target area;
e. securing the initial version of the precise LED lighting system to the base; and
f adjusting at least one of the local light directing means, local visoring means, or remote visoring means of the precise LED lighting system relative to the target area to create a final precise lighting system and provide precise lighting at the target area;
wherein the remote visoring means includes an adjustable stabilizing assembly for mounting to the crossarm assembly having a proximate end at the support structure assembly and LED lighting fixtures and a distal end away from the support structure assembly and LED lighting fixtures.
