Emergency Lights for Vehicles | 3-Pack LED Road Flares | Flares Emergency Road | LED Emergency Flares Include Batteries, Case, Whistle & more | Stronger, Brighter & Better than round Flares!

Although these lights are bright, they are relatively small and don't have much height. So when lying flat on the ground so they may be hard to see a mile away during a bright sunny day on an interstate as advertised. Even standing them on edge doesn't give them enough height to easily see from a great distance in bright daylight. They do have a folding "handle," but unless you have something to hang them on I don't think they will be visible until fairly close when approaching in a vehicle traveling at 60+ MPH on a sunny day. That said, they are very bright and I've noticed that some flashing options are easier to see then others so that may make a difference. Their small size makes them easy to store and at night they will be much easier to see from a distance. In addition, how much warning distance approaching traffic will need will depend on their approach speed and local terrain.

I'll open by saying I threw away the alkalines that came with this, and put in energizer lithium non-rechargeable batteries. Lithiums won't leak and wreck your gear preventing you from using it when you most need it - and they last so much longer. Alkalines have a very good chance of leaking. I'm sure some of you have had gear ruined by alkaleaks.I needed these flares this past Wednesday when I had a breakdown in early morning in rain. They'd been in my trunk for months. They lit instantly. 20 minutes later the tow showed up. I packed these up and they're ready for the next breakdown.Use lithium!!! It's worth the expense!And carefully read the manual before you put them in the trunk. It clearly explains how to set the flares in a wide variety of roads. Different roads need different setups. Keep the manual with the flares in their case.

I'm very happy with this purchase. Great lighting, more than enough optional signals. Feels solid. Magnetized. Can also be used for markers and points of need for nighttime visuals.

These lights are great! They are extremely bright and are quite sturdy. The brightness will in my opinion , will be seen a long way off. They were exactly as described, I purchased the round and square. Like the storage case for each, and come ready to use!

These things are very very bright. Well made. Easy to use. The rechargeable ones are nice to have. Batteries never seem to work when you need them on most things in a vehicle. You can charge these with the vehicle itself. Even comes with a free whistle. You won’t regret having these.

there are no DOT markings, I believe the wording of add is misleading, stating it meets DOT standards but theirs no proof and theirs no DOT marking so I'm returning for a refund

Bought for a breakdown or emergency while out. Bright enough during day or night. Lots of flash patterns. Comes with batteries installed inside of a small bag. Will be replacing batteries with lithium style because alkaline batteries won’t last like lithiums. Nice kit, worth it, nice backup just in case

Very bright, good selection of alternating patterns to use. Nice instruction sheet included with helpful tips on proper placement. I plan to carry one in my daypack for extra peace of mind when hiking in the fickle weather of the Pacific Northwest. They only weigh 6oz each with batteries. I'll order more for all my other vehicles as soon as they become available again. My only suggestion to Marcala would be to have 4 in a set instead of 3. Seems like a better ratio to distribute near your vehicle.Shout out to Liana at Marcala’s customer service for her quick response and alternate plan should my box be lost forever in the postal purgatory. Fortunately the box eventually showed up. Huge appreciation to the postal workers who keep showing up to work in the worst conditions and push those boxes from one side of the country to the other.I spent time shopping the various vendors who sell these type of lights. After sifting through fake reviews as well as those written by the chronically miserable who would complain that water is too wet, I chose to purchase from Marcala based on the selection of product and overall positive feedback. I leave it to you as a consumer to choose who to order from. I happened to have a great experience with Marcala considering the current climate of poor customer service everywhere.And now I will give a review of the reviewers...To anyone who is in EMS, or on a road crew, or is a professional driver: Please go easy on the harsh reviews. These LED lights are not designed for daily deployment and abuse that your professions see on a regular basis. I don't know if they would be a great addition to your industrial level gear or are capable of enduring the rigors of First Responders jobs. But to be dismissive and relegate them to a "junk" category does a disservice to the everyday person that these were designed for. We need to encourage people to adopt basic and easy to use tools to have in their vehicle while they wait for help to arrive.The K.I.S.S. principle applies to these products (Keep It Simple, Stupid).LED pucks are targeted for a broad audience. Example: Your sweet little grandma or grandpa or your teenager with limited driving experience. Who wants their elderly parents or teenager standing on the side of the road under cold windy or rainy conditions struggling to light a 30-minute flare after having a tire blow out? Most roadside services/tow trucks take a lot longer than 30 minutes to reach them. Meanwhile, the 3 flares that were set in place have long been extinguished before the tow truck arrives. The LED lights offer an added measure of safety. If these lights are the only item carried or part of a network of traditional flares and triangles, SOMETHING in the vehicle is BETTER THAN NOTHING! A safety item can only be useful if a person is comfortable using it.Lots of chatter and questions from reviewers about lumens and brightness. LED technology, like all technology, improves exponentially every year both in lumen output and price point. Are these as bright as a hot flare? Probably not. Nor does an apple taste like an orange either. Don’t get hung up on lumens. I can attest that these are very bright and should do well in alerting other drivers to avoid your disabled vehicle or draw attention to SAR if lost in the woods or desert or mountain peak.My advice to potential buyers: Buy now and buy the new and improved later on. Buy them for all your vehicles and family. They’re affordable enough to do so. Keep extra batteries. Remember, nothing is built to last 20 years or even 5 years for that matter. And stop expecting these to be seen from the Space Station when it orbits overhead.Safe travels,DW
