Magnetic LED Road Flare

Your car breaks down after dark on an empty road. Headlamp is dimming. You place a flashing light on the hood.

When it matters

• Vehicle disabled at night on an unlit road: battery dead, engine seized. Flare marks position to approaching traffic.
• Grid-down scenario with no power grid: emergency vehicles navigate by headlights. Flare visibility is critical.
• Nighttime evacuation: stopped to avoid debris or emergency cordon. Flare warns group members of your position.
• Stranded with dim flashlight: LED flares stay visible longer and free both hands for repairs.

What it does

• Magnetic mount adheres to metal vehicle surfaces without damage
• Long battery life (hours of flashing vs. minutes of bright light)
• Hands-free operation—place and forget while working on vehicle
• Non-obvious: visible flare in darkness reduces fear and signals organization

Built to last

LED is durable and rated for thousands of hours, but battery life is the limiting factor. Magnetic adhesion is strong on clean steel but weaker on painted surfaces. Waterproof rating allows wet conditions but will not operate submerged. Plastic lens can scratch if dropped hard.

Where it fits your kit

Vehicle Emergency Kit layer. Pairs with Fiberglass Fire Blanket for multi-hazard vehicle safety and Dual-Arc Plasma Lighter for independent ignition. Position in a defensible spot before activating.

Field notes

• Test batteries quarterly—LED flares fail silently if battery is dead. Stock spare batteries.
• Place flare on top of vehicle hood or roof for maximum visibility. Never place on ground.
• In grid-down scenarios, conserve flares for active emergencies. Rotate off and preserve for nightfall peaks if stranded longer.

FAQ

Q: Will it stick to my car's paint? Magnetic strength depends on surface—clean steel sticks well; painted surfaces adhere reliably if paint is intact.

Q: How long does the battery last? Typically 8–24 hours on flashing mode depending on model.

Q: Can I use it in daytime? Daytime visibility is reduced. Supplement with reflective triangles. At night, this flare is primary.
