4.0 out of 5 stars Great LED flare for the price., May 24, 2010

This review is from: FlareAlert LED Emergency Beacon Flare - Yellow (Misc.)

Unit has a very strong magnet in the base for sticking to you're car or anything else made of metal. The Amber LED in the unit seems plenty bright for a passing motorist to see at night, but during the day you would be better off sticking with you're standard incendiary flare. The pro-version claims to boast a 1 watt led instead of 1/2 watt, which probably would make the difference for daytime operation. As for the tight battery compartment, while it's is a tight fit the batteries seemed to pop in to the unit without a problem. I feel it was designed this way so the unit continues to function even under the vibrations of being run over, if the compartment was looser the batteries might dislodge as they often do in a TV remote and then the user would have to go in to harms way to get the flare functioning again. A nice addition would be a strap to pull the batteries out of the unit when it's time to change them. I haven't tested how long the unit functions on a fresh set of batteries, but the manufacturer claims 70+ hours in flash mode. I'd also like to get a second one and see if the sync flashing feature works. For the price I would say this is a very well build device, it even has a o-ring to keep water out of the internals of the unit.

Item arrived promptly. For its cost, it serves the purpose of providing a reasonable safety alert for highway/emergency use. Magnetic base is strong enough to adhere to any metallic surface. Amber LED's are bright enough to warn approaching vehicles in low-light situations.

I have 2 yellow and 2 red. They are very sturdy, magnetic, and bright at night. Was very useful during a recent tire blowout.
