HG2 Emergency Lighting LLC

What HG2 Emergency Lighting LLC does

HG2 Emergency Lighting LLC is a family-owned American manufacturer and outfitter of LED emergency vehicle lighting systems, founded in 2008 by CEO Monsour Baker in Orlando, Florida, with operational roots tracing to the 1979 Audio Excellence automotive electronics business established by his mother Sadiah Baker. The company designs, engineers, manufactures, and assembles its full product line in the USA, anchored by the patented Side Runner side-visibility lighting system (Patent No. 8,480,253 B1) — the original and most covert side-runner product on the market — and now spanning 17+ active SKUs including the Z-Drive Runner with integrated micro-controller, Front/Rear Visors, Grille Lights, D-Pillar Lights, Mirror Lights, Crossfire License Plate, Under Spoiler Lights, LED HideAways, motorcycle-specific Saddlebag/Fairing Lights for Harley-Davidson first responder units, and the Go Covert smoked-optics sub-brand with Ghost Mode stealth functionality. The full product line is SAE J595 Class 1 certified and the firm maintains EVT and ASE C1 technician certifications, addressing a regulatory gap many competing import brands fail to close.

The business model combines hardware sales and professional vehicle outfitting services. Hardware is sold through a nationwide authorized dealer network of 2,000+ agencies and dealers, incentivized by the tiered Lightning Rewards Lite Points program (5–15% bonus per order), complemented by direct field sales to law enforcement, fire/EMS, and government fleet customers via phone, email, and request-a-quote channels. Vehicle outfitting services — emergency lighting installation, sirens, consoles, communications equipment, push bumpers, partitions, gun locks, K-9 systems, window tinting, vehicle wraps, and decals — are delivered through five company-owned sales and service centers in Florida (Orlando HQ, West Orlando, Oviedo, Fort Lauderdale) and Georgia (Jonesboro), with free nationwide vehicle transportation logistics. The Buy-Back Program offers $300 per 62-inch Side Runner pair in exchange for competitor trade-ins, lowering switching costs and accelerating fleet standardization on HG2. The company is privately held, has no external institutional funding, and is led by CEO Monsour Baker with Office Manager Halah Abed.

HG2 has even partnered with Federal Signal on a 2026 Ford Explorer build, underscoring overlapping customer base and product interoperability.

• Star Headlight & Lantern Co. Star is a long-established manufacturer of emergency vehicle lighting and sirens, directly competing with HG2 in the law enforcement and roadside-services lighting category.
• SoundOff Signal: SoundOff Signal manufactures LED warning lights, light bars, and controls for emergency vehicles, competing with HG2 in the police and fire/EMS segments with similar vehicle-specific product positioning.

• Setina Manufacturing: Setina produces police vehicle equipment including partitions, push bumpers, and gun racks. It is a complementary outfitting partner to HG2 rather than a lighting competitor, frequently co-installed on the same patrol vehicles.
