Smarter end caps. Safer firefighters.
Ladder Light replaces existing ladder end caps with a solution that illuminates the departure zone and acts as a beacon for firefighters and victims. They're designed to work seamlessly with existing ladders and procedures and have been tested to perform in any conditions.
Our story
LadderLight was conceived by a firefighter who knows how important precious seconds can be in the line of duty.
"While performing a nighttime ladder operation, an evacuation call was given. Amidst the smoke and chaos, I was unable to discern the location of my ground ladder. After a frantic scan of the roofline, it was too late. The structure below my feet had given way. After a year of surgery and intense rehab, I was no longer fit for duty."
— Ryan Stout, founder of Ladder Light and former firefighter in El Paso and Austin, Texas
A survey of over 200 participants from a firefighters' union in a major US metropolitan area showed that at least two-thirds of firefighters have had trouble finding a ladder, or have mounted a flashlight to their ladder to make it easier to find. When provided with a description of the product, 90% believed that Ladder Light would improve safety.

Rigorous testing allows us to transform a firefighter's innovation into a product you can depend on. LadderLight has been field tested in Travis County, Texas.
"The light is not so bright or blinding that it distracts from getting back to the ladder. When you are on the roof, it clearly marks where your ladder is. We are confident this product will improve safety for our Department."
— Chief Ken Bailey, Travis County Fire Rescue – ESD #11
The only thing stronger than our product is our commitment
