Roadside safety during an emergency is critical and more of an essential in low light conditions. One of the best ways to make yourself visible whilst broken down is by using a flare to output light. Flares in general have been around for many years but most people are moving towards LED road flares that are battery powered. Just look at the instruction manual when you are ready to open it. It is a little confusing when attempting to open it without the instruction manual. You could end up breaking the flares to reach the batteries if you’re not careful. You can drive with confidence in the daylight, nighttime, rain, or snow as the brilliant fluorescent orange color is visible up to 800-feet away and the high-density silver reflective bands increase visibility by deflecting headlights. Create a warning signal. If you come across a road hazard, such as a deer carcass or tree branch, highway safety flares will warn other drivers about the hazard. Whether you are a car driver, a cyclist, a boating enthusiast, or a hiker, the Garage Monkey Engineering LED Road Safety Flares will keep you prepped for any emergency.

Moreover, the Gear Gurus safety disc is made of sturdy plastic material. This makes it shatterproof and crushproof and will not be affected when a vehicle runs over it. Admittedly, this flare is durable and will remain useful for a long time. For example, if you use an operating mode that makes the light shine more frequently than one that doesn’t, you can expect a shorter battery life. So setting the flare to flash at a rate that blinks more often than a setting that doesn’t will reduce the length of luminosity. Because of this, you should always make sure that there are plenty of batteries around for the flares to work as expected. As the flares have a powerful magnetic base, you can attach them to a 6,000-pound vehicle as a lighting beacon to alert passing motorists or fellow boating enthusiasts. Number of flares in the Kit. Most roadside flare kits include three beacons, but there are some that have as many as four or six. Three are adequate for an emergency roadside kit, but the more you have at your disposal, the more protection you can put around your vehicle.When you are finished with the flares, fold them up and store them in the durable hard storage case so you will always have your roadside beacons ready for any emergency. Traditional flares can be dangerous for your crew if they are exposed to prolonged smoke inhalation. Basic flares can also be extremely harmful to both your eyesight as well as respiratory health. If not used correctly, these flares could result in serious injury or even fire caused by clothing ignition when hit with its deployment. With LED road flares, however, you need not worry about exposure to smoke inhalation, fumes, or toxic chemicals. Save Your Pants The other lighting modes are SOS rescue, alternating blinks, single blink, quad flashes and rotate. Design and Construction Materials The flares have 9 different flashing modes: quad flashes: 23 hours, single blink: 12 hours, alternating blinks: 4 hours, SOS rescue (Morse code): 8 hours, steady on-high: 7 hours, steady on-low: 33 hours, a 4 LED flashlight: 10 hours and a top LED flashlight: 10 hours. Take with your when hunting or fishing, or use them as an emergency indicator if you’re planning a camping trip into the woods. If you become lost, it would be a lot easier for passers-by to see you with an LED light flashing.
