The HG2 Runner® Package is an
extremely versatile emergency lighting
system designed for maximum visibility
with a minimal footprint. HG2 Runners
were developed to enhance the outline
of a vehicle’s prole (rear of vehicle),
oering greater visibility through
installation location, variable ash
patterns and lighting intensity.
Our patent-pending designs feature
super-bright, wide-angle LEDs, a high-
impact polycarbonate housing and a
powder-coated extruded aluminum
mounting sleeve for stealth installation.
