E/T Triage Lights

How do E/T Triage Lights compare to chemical light sticks for triage?

E/T Triage Lights are reusable, last 50–200+ hours (vs. 8–12 for chem lights), provide four colors in one unit (vs. carrying separate colored chem light inventories), can be turned off and on, and are rated for extreme temperatures and water immersion. Chem lights are single-use, cannot be deactivated once cracked, and are destroyed by extreme cold.

What colors are available in a single E/T Triage Light?

Each E/T Triage Light unit provides all four standard triage colors: Red (immediate/T1), Yellow (delayed/T2), Green (minimal/T3), and Blue (expectant/T4 or administrative use). All four colors are programmed into a single unit with 15 selectable modes — no need to carry separate lights for each triage category.

How long does the battery last in the E/T Triage Light?

Battery life ranges from 50 to 200+ hours depending on the illumination mode and battery brand selected. Lower-power steady modes at lower-intensity colors provide the longest runtime; high-intensity strobe modes consume more power. The 3V CR2 battery is readily replaceable, and the LED light source itself has an approximately 100,000-hour rated life.

Is the E/T Triage Light waterproof?

Yes. The E/T Triage Light has been pressure tested for one hour at 66 feet of water depth, making it suitable for amphibious operations, water rescues, and flood environments. The durable silicone housing provides the watertight seal and is flexible enough to resist cracking in extreme cold.

What temperature range can the E/T Triage Light handle?

The E/T Triage Light is rated to operate from -30°F to 130°F — covering Arctic, mountain, desert, and vehicle-confined heat environments where chemical light sticks would either crack in the cold or degrade prematurely in the heat.
