E/T Lights are the newest innovation in night time/adverse condition triage tagging and team member identification marking. A value purchase, E/T Lights won’t just sit in your shelf or your vehicle. Utilized for a multitude of daily purposes and reviewed by the Interagency Board (IAB). E/T Lights are associated with two Standardized Equipment Light (SEL) numbers [03OE-03-GLRL] System, Marking, Green Line/Red Line and [09MS-01-TTAG] Tags and Supplies, Triage . AEL/SEL number info page, click here.

The Responder Knowledge Base is sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security. Its mission is to provide emergency responders, purchasers, and planners with a trusted, integrated, online source of information on products, standards, certifications, grants, and other equipment-related information

Make sure to include the E/T Lights in your next grant application. Lasting up to 9.5 days on a constant selection and up to 19 days on a flashing selection you can be confident that the E/T Light will last and not turn off after only a few hours of use, especially when you need this capability the most. Combat proven in Iraq and Afghanistan you can be sure the E/T Light will hold up to any major disaster or scenario. E/T Lights are associated with the DoD’s “Domestic Preparedness Support Initiative”. Take some time and view the “Torture tests” report and view the “Disaster City” video.

Uses include

• Night time initial triage tagging
• Adverse condition initial triage tagging
• Team member marking
• Cookie trial marking
• IFF
• TCCC

• Covert vehicle tracking
• Cleared room indicator
• Training
• Range ID
• Any signaling purpose
• SAR dog ID
• Your imagination is the limit

Features include:

• Emergency off feature (No need to scroll through all the colors to turn them off) – Hold switch down for 3 seconds and the E/T Light turns off.
• Customized software available for special requests. For example, some MP’s suggested activating the red and blue LED’s to indicate that person is an MP. Ask for a particular sequence or color combination and we will work on it.
• Locking feature activated on versions V4, V6.8A, & V8A. This feature is included for two reasons: first, to prevent triaged patients from easily changing their condition. Second, to make sure the light does not turn off or change selection inadvertently.
• Locking not activated on Infrared versions V1, V6.8IR, and V8IR.
• Last selection memory in case of power loss for any reason. The light turns back on to the last selection before power was lost.
• E/T Lights combine four colors into one device (Red/Yellow/Green/Blue) or (IR/Red/Green/Blue).
• Versions V1, V6.8IR, & V8IR, IR selections activate with a ~3 hour auto off timer. This helps prevent battery drain in case the lights are activated or left on inadvertently.

Benefits are:

• Emergency off feature (No need to scroll through all)
• Reduce patient collection times by over 30%
• Reduce patient collection errors from 4 errors down to one error
• Reduce your chemical light stick budget by over 90%
• Great value at just under $12 per color
• Reduce the weight and volume carried by the responder for this type of equipment by over 60%
• Improve situational awareness of patients, team members, etc…especially at night or under adverse conditions up to 85% (See TEEX D2R Report).
• Improve your Return on Investment – chemical lights are a $1+, you never get back once it is cracked. E/T Lights are reusable and can be turned off. Once you replace the battery you reduce your per hour costs to as little as $0.01/hour.
• Reduce storage costs, logistics costs and replacement costs associated with chemical lights

We recommend the following E/T Light versions for first responder activities. Select which version best fits your department’s requirements:

• Version 1 – Constant IR, flashing IR, constant red, constant green, constant blue, off.
• Version V4 – Constant red, flashing red, constant yellow, flashing yellow, constant green, flashing green, constant blue, flashing blue.
