5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Lights
Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2018
I bought this 4 pack because of excellent reviews and best per unit price. Turns out not a bad choice, and I'm adding another 5 star review. The rotating lights mode might be the most useful during road emergencies, so I tested it with 3 eneloop batteries to see how long it actually lasts. After 10 hours, batteries were mostly dead but lights were still flashing as bright as with fresh batteries. Very impressive. Lights are very bright and should be seen even in daylight.
It comes with instructions how to open the back plate to install batteries. Back plate is installed pretty tight for water proofing. Without reading the instructions I would probably have tried to pry it open using a screwdriver or something and damage the housing. In case you are wondering - there are two tabs in the 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock location to give you some leverage to pull the back plate off.
Also interesting that seller mentioned not to use regular or cheap alkaline batteries because they eventually leak and ruin the device. That's my experience too. Even "good quality" duracell and Costco kirkland batteries are prone to leak after certain years. Energizer max and Energizer lithium primary are the only two types don't leak, or try LSD NiMH rechargables.
