I bought these years ago and have been hauling them around in the spare tire area of my vehicles since. Last night I needed a tow in the evening and I’m very happy I had them. Even with multiple flashers on the road, drivers were barely paying attention, without them it would have been much worse and dangerous on the side of the road. Buy a set and throw them in the car, you’ll be happy you did.Magnets work well to stick to the side of the vehicle or a guard rail but the stands are great for getting them into the road to build a safety working area. I also have a yellow flashing puck and it wasn’t nearly as visible because the light is flashing too low, the little stands are just enough to get them off the ground and visible.

I really like this Twinkle Star emergency roadside LED strobe light and I think it is going to be a great supplement to emergency road flares alone. I tried it outside at night and found it to be very bright and has a strong enough magnetic base to hold it onto my car even with the cover on! (I was too lazy to remove the car cover). I also really like the compact case and two bases for standing it upright on the ground. Hopefully, I'll never have to use this, but my only concern is that if I do need it years from now, will the batteries still be good? Also, how long will they last in an emergency and keep the strobe going? I'll have to make a note to check the batteries once a year and keep the flares just in case.

I didn't know if was looking for these until I found them. These have so many more design elements and features compared to alternatives. Reflective tape, magnetic base, strobes, stands, and a hard case are all features that set these apart from the rest. The only downside is there are only two.

Bright light, nice case, compact.

Fáciles de utilizar , útiles para el propósito

Es un muy buen producto las baterías Durán mucho, la luz que proporcionan dan buen alcance recomendado

Good for the car on dark nights for safety

I purchased these just in case I ever needed them, and last month I had to use them at the scene of a serious vehicle crash, unfortunately. Cars slowed down considerably more after deploying these lights. They're very bright and are perfect to use as torches too.

Better visibility than the puck/disc style LED emergency flares.I've had a set of the Wagan FRED (Flashing Roadside Emergency Disc) 'hockey puck' style lights for 2-3 years now. I haven't personally needed to use them, but have given the 3-pack sets to my neighbors as gifts, and they just recently used them while changing a flat on the side of a busy highway.They reported that the Wagan FRED lights worked well, just using the magnetic bases to attach them on the sides and back of the vehicle, as other motorists moved a lane over when they saw the flashing lights as they approached.I recently saw the listing for these Twinkle Star LED flares and was curious about how the design compared, so I ordered a set (they seem to be a generic design, sold under various names, but look identical aside from the label. At the time of purchase, this Twinkle Star Amazon listing for 2 pairs for $29.99 was almost half the price compared to the other listings for 1 pair for about $25).Upon delivery, I installed the included batteries and both pairs worked just fine with no issues. These flares come boxed in pairs, with 2 flares and 2 stands in their own hard case (with this listing consisting of 2 cases with 4 total flares). The cases are small enough to slip into the pockets behind the seats of many vehicles.There is a single button to turn them on and cycle through the modes (flashing red, constant On red, constant On white flashlight, Off).I set 1 pair of these, and 1 pair of the Wagan FRED lights on the pavement in their strobe modes and then headed off down the street to see which was more easily visible from far away.WINNER: The pair of Twinkle Star LED flares. They flash a bright red that's brighter and more visible from a distance than the Wagan FRED lights, and the height is an advantage for visibility. The tops of these flares light up a bright red, but like the puck style lights, they also light up the ground immediately around them.Overall, they were much more noticeable at a distance than the Wagan FRED lights.Another consideration for folks in the snowbelt: when it's snowing hard, and/or there's already snow accumulation on the ground, this design that has these sticking up 8" above the ground when placed in the included stands, is a distinct advantage for visibility over the pucks that are 2" high when set on the ground.I'm not sure how weather/waterproof either design is, but when placed in the stands, the base of the flares is ~1.7" above the ground, i.e. the puck style flares would be mostly submerged at that point if standing water was a concern.The bottom of these flares also have a pretty strong magnet on them (which is how they stick/attach to the stands), which means you can attach them to the body or roof of a stranded standard steel bodied vehicle (not so much for the carbon fiber or aluminum exotics), or even use the magnets to attach them to metal guardrails and mile markers for added height etc.Since I already have the Wagan FRED lights, they'll be along for the ride too, but now I'm getting a set of these Twinkle Star LED flares for all the vehicles. If I had to choose between them, I'd get these.P.S.As with ANY piece of electronic equipment I deem important (depending on these to prevent inattentive drivers from turning me into road pizza, qualifies), I highly recommend ditching the included batteries and using Energizer Lithium Ultimate AAAs instead (each flare uses 3xAAA batteries). The Lithium Ultimates won't leak and render these useless when needed, and Lithium Ultimates will work down to -40f, where alkalines don't work very well below about 15f.The Wagan FRED lights have had the same Lithium Ultimate batteries in them for the past ~3 years, left in the vehicle in temperatures ranging from 110+f to -14f, and still work just fine.I'll post an update in about 12 months as I periodically test these to see if there's any parasitic drain that may cause the Lithium Ultimate batteries to be drained flat when left in them.

Put the batteries in but sadly one did not work... no replacement offered, just a refund
