J.J. Keller Launches Light-Up PPE to Improve Jobsite Visibility and Worker Safety

The company expands its safety portfolio with illuminated PPE and jobsite lighting solutions designed to improve visibility, reduce accidents, and support compliance in low-light and high-traffic work environments.

J. J. Keller & Associates Inc. has expanded its safety product lineup with the addition of light-up protection products designed to increase worker visibility and reduce risk in low-light and high-traffic environments. The new offerings support a wide range of applications, including DOT road work, construction jobsites, trucking and towing operations, emergency response, and personal safety.

Illuminated personal protective equipment helps workers remain visible in dim or nighttime conditions while supporting compliance with ANSI/ISEA and OSHA visibility requirements. By integrating active lighting into traditional safety gear, the products help workers perform tasks more effectively across changing jobsite conditions while reducing the risk of accidents and liability exposure.

“Visibility is critical for worker safety,” said Ray Chishti, senior EHS editor at J. J. Keller. “According to the Federal Highway Administration, adequate lighting can reduce nighttime pedestrian injury crashes by 42 percent. In work zones, where crews frequently operate in low-light conditions, illuminated safety equipment, such as lighted vests helps drivers detect workers sooner and reduces the risk of nighttime crashes.”

Product Highlights Include:

  • Lighted Vests: Up to 15 hours of constant illumination or 25 hours in flashing mode, featuring quick recharge capability and weather-resistant construction.
  • Triangle Road Lights: Visibility up to one mile, waterproof design, solar backup, and 24-plus hours of continuous flashing.
  • Body Light: Magnetic base, foldable stand, belt clip, and 400 lumens with visibility up to half a mile.
  • Work Light: Up to 3,000 lumens, 20-hour runtime, 360-degree swivel design, waterproof housing, and multiple lighting modes, including two emergency red settings.
  • Baton Commander: Magnetic body, wrist strap, built-in flashlight, and 360-degree visibility.
  • Headlights: Hands-free illumination with adjustable brightness for detailed work in dark environments.
  • Beanie with Integrated Light: Cold-weather protection combined with a built-in LED for visibility and task lighting.
  • LED Safety Glasses: Eye protection paired with forward-facing LED lights for precision work in low-light conditions.

The full line of light-up protection products is available at JJKeller.com/LightProtection.
