Methods, systems and devices for using a LED lighting system to communicate an emergency, indicate a route/pathway and illuminate an area using an existing leaky feeder communications system. The LED lighting system is powered by and may be controlled by the leaky feeder communications system that delivers 2-way communications and data. The LED lighting may be used as area wall location lighting, directional pathway indication, and area illumination. Control of the lighting system may be localized or remotely activated through hard wire or wireless connections. The system may controls dimming, pulsing, brightness, sequencing, and changing LED color.
