THE SCIENCE

WHY RED
LIGHT?

Your eye’s rod cells — responsible for night vision — are nearly blind to red wavelengths. This means red light illuminates your workspace without destroying the dark adaptation that took 20 minutes to build.

What vehicles is the Pathfinder designed for?+

The Pathfinder is purpose-built for aerial ladder lighting on fire apparatus but is also used on pump tankers, aerial platforms, industrial trucks, and command and communication apparatus — any vehicle requiring continuous illuminated walkway lighting along rooflines or ladder rails.

What lengths is the Pathfinder available in?+

Standard lengths are 1m, 5m, 7m, 10m, and 15m. Custom lengths can also be ordered to match your exact walkway or ladder configuration.

Can the Pathfinder be field-trimmed to a custom length?+

Yes. The Pathfinder can be trimmed on site by cutting along the marked cut line. The cut end must then be sealed with epoxy to maintain weatherproofing.

Will the Pathfinder lens yellow over time?+

No. The Pathfinder uses a UV and ozone-stable polycarbonate lens engineered to resist yellowing throughout the product's service life.
