Improving Warehouse & Fire Station Safety with LED Alert Systems

BrinkAlert was recently featured on The Industrial Lens podcast, hosted by Jeremy King of Caster Connection. In this episode, Gil Valentin, VP of Sales & Marketing at BrinkAlert, discussed how their LED Safety Light Systems are helping facilities reduce accidents, improve communication, and integrate seamlessly into existing equipment.

“Safety is really our niche,” Gil shared. “BrinkAlert creates LED alert systems that provide clear, visual communication—whether it’s a forklift crossing paths with a pedestrian or a fire truck rushing out of the bay.”

Simple Setup, Maximum Impact

BrinkAlert kits are designed to fit nearly any commercial or industrial overhead door system without major rewiring or equipment changes. For example our CDLK (Commercial Door Light Kit) includes:

5’ or 10’ LED strips
LED Retainer Tracks
LED Controller
LED Harness Cables
Power Supply and Signal Wiring
Full installation manual and live tech support

“Everything you need comes in one box,” Gil explained. “Installers or even fire station crews can set it up themselves with help from our team.”

Why Fire Stations Are Adopting LED Alerts

Fire departments across the country are using BrinkAlert to avoid costly accidents. When fire trucks rush out of the bays, poor visibility or blocked views often lead to damaged doors and vehicles.

“The light strips clearly tell you when it’s safe to go,” Gil said. “We’ve seen stations eliminate those crashes overnight.”

The programmable LED strips can flash amber before a door closes, turn red for stop, green for go, and even detect issues like a blocked photo eye or pedestrian presence.

A Proactive Approach to Safety

While many installations happen after a close call, BrinkAlert emphasizes prevention.
