Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein describe systems and methods for a lighting device that is configured to couple with the end of a ladder. The lighting device may be configured to illuminate a room within a building with different types of light being projected in different, predetermined directions. Therefore, a firefighter within the building may be able to determine the location of the ladder even if heavy smoke is positioned within the building. Accordingly, the firefighter may be able to enter the building quicker because the firefighter may not have to bring an extra light, while also allowing the firefighter to exit the building quicker.
