Command Light, a leader in emergency vehicle lighting for tow trucks and wreckers, continues to elevate scene lighting for tow operators, this time revolutionizing tripod work lighting with the introduction of the all-new Trident Tripod, the only tripod of its kind that lets operators choose their power source, plus their favorite high-lumen LED. Pair AC Power, Truck 12V DC or one of our different non-proprietary battery options with Akron Revels, FRC Spectras, FireTech Helios, Whelen Pioneer Plus, a Feniex Arrow Stick or a Federal Signal Message Board.

“Our tripod is available in AC or DC models, but it’s our DC models that are really going to be a gamechanger in the tow market. It’s the first time in industry history that operators can pair a DeWalt® FLEXVOLT, Makita® XGT, Milwaukee® M28 or HURST® EWXT™/ E3™ battery with a high-lumen LED made for emergency vehicle scene lighting,” Command Light President Roger Weinmeister explained. “We really wanted to create a tripod that works with other battery-operated tools, all the while delivering even more light than a traditional tripod. We know that tripods aren’t new to the market, and yet we recognized that the choice in LEDs and power sources was always limited, so now, we’re changing that with the Command Light Trident.”

The Trident is available in 10 DC models and 8 AC models, depending on LED fixture. Each DC tower can be spec’ed with additional options, like shore power, 12V DC truck power and truck mounting brackets with disconnect.

Spec’ed with an arrow stick or a message board, operators can place the tripod near the scene to alert distracted drivers of hazards. And given the increasing number of roadway fatalities, this device could truly be life-saving. In 2022, the Emergency Responder Safety Institute (ERSI) reported 50 struckby-fatalities deaths of U.S. roadway responders. In 2021, 65 deaths were documented, and in 2020 another 46 were killed.

“At Command Light, we pride ourselves on creating lighting that truly can help save the lives of victims and reponders alike,” Weinmeister conceded.

The tripod design is also compact, making it a great fit on most any tow vehicle. The Trident touts a 40” or 50” collapsible design, weighing between 20-35 lbs. depending on model. When deployed and extended, the 40” tripod features a 50” reach, while the 50” Trident offers a 91” reach, helping add elevation to this essential lighting.

“Historically, Command Light has been known for its patented light tower, and while we still firmly believe every truck should be equipped with this important piece of equipment to properly illuminate a scene, we also know mobile lighting is important,” Weinmeister added.

“Really, we just want to help operators get light where it’s needed most, whether that’s by setting up lighting near the victim or elevating, rotating and backlighting a large scene.”

Command Light, located in Fort Collins, Colo., has specialized in scene lighting for the emergency industry for more than 25 years and features only the best light towers, compact scene lighting, traffic flow boards and other safety lighting products. Command Light’s towers are available in a variety of configurations, including AC or DC, different tower bases, varying output choices and a long list of options, like backlighting to illuminate both sides of the scene
