Trust the light that increases visibility 89%
A new, peer-reviewed study from the Battelle Memorial Institute found that drivers can better see roadside workers and take action to avoid them when a Guardian Angel Elite Series™ light is worn with a high-visibility safety vest.
The results are in. The impact is significant.
Overwhelming increase in visibility
A Guardian Angel light and vest is 89% more visible than a vest alone.
Light & Vest Combo for the win
100% of drivers said the Guardian Angel light and vest combo grabbed their attention soonest.
A better way to change driver behavior
100% of drivers slowed down and/or moved over when they saw the Guardian Angel light.
Safer conditions across the board
Light and vest combo resulted in safest driving conditions (greatest speed reductions and most lane changes).
Light myth – Busted
NO increase in glare reported.
See the light & Slow down
Significantly more drivers slowed down when they saw an Elite Series™ light compared to a vest alone.
BE SEEN BY DRIVERS 5X SOONER
The stats don’t lie. The need for change is clear.
Move Over Laws are Misunderstood
Approximately 67% of the public isn’t aware of their local Move Over Law. 1
Leading cause of Law Enforcement Deaths
Traffic-related incidents continue to be the top killer of police in the U.S. 2
Construction Workers at High Risk
Moving vehicles killed an average of 58 roadside workers at construction sites each year from 2011-2020. 3

Data, Not Hype, Saves Lives
When researchers at Battelle approached us, wanting to learn if our lights could really improve roadside safety, we didn’t hesitate. But we had some rules: The study had to be independently run and peer reviewed. Results had to be rigorously challenged. It was imperative that we learned the true impact of Guardian Angel wearable lighting when it comes to saving lives.
A Much Needed Study
Everything we do is built on trust. That’s why we’re focused on changing roadside safety through science. We knew our lights could change the game, but we needed more than the 1,000s of reviews from law enforcement, emergency personnel and construction workers. We needed independent data to validate what we have heard from our customers. That’s why we supported this study. We didn’t do it for marketing. We did it because it was the right thing to do.
A Guardian Angel light, on average, is seen by drivers at a distance five times greater than a vest alone.
