Brooking Industries

What Brooking Industries does

Brooking Industries, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned US manufacturer of LED emergency vehicle lighting and related equipment, headquartered in St. Augustine, Florida. The company traces its roots to Lionheart Public Safety (1986) and was incorporated under the current name in 1997, consolidating predecessor entities including Trico Industries. In 2008, Brooking entered the LED emergency lighting category through a partnership with an established lighting manufacturer, and this line has since become its core focus.

The product portfolio is a unified ecosystem of LED lightbars (Tempest, Legion, Torrent, EVL interior, Falcon, G6, Microbar), warning and directional lighting (Horizon, RayZR), perimeter and hideaway lightheads, flood and scene lighting, sirens and speakers (JS-100, SDB101-S, SDP212-HR, CMC-200, SAS32R), consoles and digital controllers, beacons, and an Installer's Toolbox for professional upfitting. Technical differentiation is anchored in patent-pending Facet-X optics on the flagship Tempest lightbar and proprietary Tidal optics on the EVL interior bar. Products carry sector-specific certifications including SAE J595, SAE J845, SAE J1849, ECE R65, ECE R10, CA Title 13, and IP ratings up to IP68, with a tiered warranty of up to 5 years on LED lighting.

The business operates on a hardware sales model with quote-based pricing, distributed through an authorized dealer/installer network supplemented by direct phone and web sales (888-439-1925). Customers include law enforcement agencies, fire and EMS services, and commercial/fleet operators (work trucks, pilot/escort vehicles, snow plows). The company runs with low overhead of 1-10 employees and a single 12,000 sq. ft. stocking warehouse, claiming 48-hour shipping on finished goods as its fastest-in-industry fulfillment advantage. There is no disclosed funding, no PE/VC investment, and operations are domestic US only.
