When every second matters, scene lighting must be fast, reliable, and easy to use. Luxtension’s pneumatic telescopic light pole for fire trucks delivers powerful LED illumination with ergonomic operation, designed for fire trucks and emergency response vehicles.
A roof-, sidewall- or internally mounted telescopic light mast that’s ready within ~20 seconds, runs on 12V/24V, and stays controllable via an interference-free remote connection, built for demanding fireground conditions.

Why Luxtension works so well on fire trucks
-
Pneumatic extension = fast deployment with minimal effort
No manual cranking, no physical strain. The pneumatic system extends smoothly and quickly so crews stay focused on the incident, not the equipment.
-
Interference-free remote control (built for radio-busy scenes)
Fireground scenes are full of radio traffic and signal activity. Our system uses a dedicated, interference-free connection between transmitter and receiver so you keep full control.
-
Fits virtually any fire vehicle, new builds and retrofits
Compact rescue units or larger tankers: the modular design supports roof, sidewall, or internal installation and can be integrated in new builds or retrofitted on existing vehicles.
From municipal fire trucks to custom-built emergency fleets, Luxtension ensures full compatibility and fast deployment.
