LED Road Flares Emergency Lights | 3-Pack Roadside Safety Disc Kit w/Whistle | DOT Compliant Emergency Flares for Car w/Batteries Installed | Roadside Emergency Car Kit with Flares

Outfitting the family car for emergencies, I had many and widely ranging concerns. I didn't want to store large amounts of emergency equipment and on top of that, have that equipment fail during an actual emergency. I wanted something effective, fool-proof, and something that didn't take up a lot of space. So I considered safety cones, flares, reflective signs, and other light products.First, I considered what most roadside crews use - cones. What I found was that most cheap cones and collapsible cones will be blown away if there is ample wind, or a car or truck whips by your cone. To avoid that issue, you can buy heavy weighted cones but those don't collapse and they take up a lot of space in your trunk and they're very expensive.Second, I considered flares. I've also seen these used for roadside emergencies. They definitely stand out more than cones, they're visible from farther away, you can outline a boundary that's a safe distance from your car, and there's the benefit of no batteries required. The negatives for flares include the chance that you hold them the wrong way and you drop smoldering embers onto your skin or clothes, the flares can roll out of position, the flares will go out if you drop them instead of placing them down, you may accidentally place them in an area with gasoline or other flammable liquids making for a terribly dangerous fire hazard, they're not reusable because you have to break them out to put them out (and because once you expose the ignition and striker, it's dangerous to store them in that state) -which also makes more work for you. Worst in my book is that there are documented cases of flares igniting within a cargo area when they're jostled around and the striker and ignition pieces get exposed.Third, I considered reflective signs. I felt these were not universally understood as roadside emergency. They could be mistaken for bumper stickers or business signs, for example. Also, cars have to be fairly nearby for their headlights to reflect off the signs. Although easy to store, they're also easy to accidentally bend and so forth. For me, these just weren't cutting it in the effectiveness department.Finally, I considered lights. What was most important to me about lights was lumens (brightness), battery life, how easy it was to place them in visible areas. Most lights are sold to go on the top of the roof or on the windshield or onto the back window. These lights are so much more effective because you can outline your entire car with them by just sticking them on. If it's safe to let your child out of the car, even a child could do it. Sometimes I take a couple with me when I go walking because they're easy to spot in case of emergency. Also, It was important to me that they blinking patterns are universally understood as emergency, just like a car's hazard lights. The brightness is great. We've had them over a year and batteries are still fine. They're very compact. They're very affordable. I think these are the best choice for roadside safety and you can also use them for camping, on hikes, on bicycles, basically any time you need a bright light because they're very multipurpose.

This was a gift, but I checked it out, works great, bright, easy to use, believe it to be a great safety item if needed.Appears to be well made and of quality material, worth the money.

I have not had the bad fortune to use these, but I used similar more bulky LED lights at a vehicle crash and it made a big difference. I did unbox and unwrap these to ready them for use. The carrying case is easy to use one-handed. I will test out the tool included at a later date. Each light worked well, the magnet did stick on the side of the vehicle (even on a dirt covered area) without any problems. The light is bright and very noticeable. I purchased the set of six, which allows one for the roof of the vehicle, and five to use as guides on the ground. You have to decide which sequence of flashes you feel are appropriate for your situation. Some may cause confusion if bunched too close, but I can see a use for each sequence. I did like the sequence which provides a simple flash sequence and a top light which would angle a bright white steady light to a working area, (example changing a tire, under the hood toward the battery or engine.). I am going to test them in a large parking lot on a foggy day to get an idea of the warning distance it provides to other drivers. I am unsure of its night time distance or daylight visibility. I was not sure of the whistle, but after expanding the use of this kit beyond a car this would be great for a boat that has lost power on the water, or provide one to each hiker in a party of six, just in case someone gets lost. I think this is a good buy, and will give these out as gifts in the future, just for some peace of mind.

The safety lights are bright and appear durable. I have yet to use them in an emergency. There are multiple light modes to choose from which is great. Big mistake tho’ by the company in that the SOS mode is wrong, how can you miss that?! It should be 3 dots, 3 dashes, 3 dots but they have it with 2 dot, 3 dashes, 2 dots. What does that signal? LOL perhaps? ( yes, I checked them all, same mistake)

I bought two 12 packs (one for each car). They come in a very decent carrying case. With that I decided to make them part of my road gear and carry them with me in my tractor trailer also.My very 1st trip with them and I lost an air line on a small mountain road at night in a bad curve, and without air, I wasn’t moving.I can only say WOW!!! Because of their size and ease of deployment (along with the fact that I had 12) I was able to quickly secure and mark the area. They were super bright and preformed even better than I had hoped.A state trooper stopped and commended me on the marking of the sight. Left me with a handful of flairs in case the batteries died. Which 3 hours later when the mechanic got the air line fixed they were all still going bright. I gave the mechanic the flairs 😃.Highly recommend these, and hope you never need them, but if you do you will be glad you have them!

A valuable roadtrip safety item to carry! Works great.

I used to carry red flares in case of a crash or breakdown, but haven't seen any in years. These little lights are just as visible, and won't be crushed if run over. They can be placed on the road, or stuck to the automobile with a built-in magnet. There is a choice of patterns, including steady, alternating, or "rotating. The chosen pattern becomes the default when the unit is turned on the next time. They are rated to last several hours, and lithium batteries have a very low self-discharge rate. They are recharged with an USB-C cable in about 1.5 hours. I was prompted to purchase this item after recently coming upon an accident, on a dark rainy night, barely avoiding a collision with a vehicle blocking my lane.

Lights are very sturdy and bright. For marine use, be aware water can get into the housing and kill the light if they’re exposed to too much water. Rain probably wouldn’t damage them. Excellent service from seller!
