Emergency and tactical lights design roadside emergency flares that can be instantly used as emergency flares. Flares can be lifesaving when your vehicle breaks down in a middle of a busy highway. When an oncoming traffic sees the flare, they understand the indication of a broken vehicle or a potential hazard and steer clear off it. Roadside emergency flares, if used properly, will help you save any unfortunate accidents and also make it possible for your broken vehicle to be towed down.

Unlike traditional incendiary flares, our LED roadside emergency flares work flawlessly. They are not the conventional flares that we have known but function in a similar manner. Here are the steps to effectively set up an LED roadside emergency flare:

•    You will always need to have the LED roadside emergency flare with you all time while driving your vehicle. Since we never know when our vehicle might break down and if it does so in the middle of a high traffic road, we need to be equipped with these roadside emergency flares to set them up.

•    Having the equipment with you do not ensure that you can make the best use of it. It is important to learn and understand how to set up the roadside emergency flare. It begins with locating the place from where the flare can produce maximum effect. Locating and placing the flare strategically will alert oncoming traffic about a possible hazard.

You can also consider placing the flare 15 feet behind your broken vehicle and another flare 30 feet behind the vehicle. If it’s a two-way road, placing a flare 15 feet ahead of a vehicle is advisable too.

•    Since this is not an incendiary flare, you should also have backup batteries for your emergency LED flares. It is also recommended to remove the batteries from the devices when not in use.

LED roadside emergency flares are essential pieces of equipment for police, firefighters, rescue operators, and even normal civilians. LED roadside emergency flares are perfect to bring attention to an accident or incident at night or in bad weather.

Roadside emergency flares are often used to inform motorists that your vehicle is a roadside hazard for them. The right placement of roadside emergency flares on your vehicle that has broken down can help save other motorists driving on the same road.

When the oncoming traffic sees a flare, they understand that there is a potential hazard down the road, which they should be careful about. The use of proper roadside emergency flare can make a whole lot of difference in getting your broken vehicle towed down or preventing a deadly crash.

In order to place the roadside emergency flare, you must follow these three key steps:

1.    Have the equipment with you.

It is obvious that you would only be able to use these roadside emergency flares only when you have it with you. Roadside emergency flares must always be treated as emergency equipment and must always be kept in your vehicle. You never know when your vehicle may break down.

With the advancements in LED technology, the use of traditional flares has been lowered. Newer options such as non-incendiary flares have been introduced to the public.

2.    Right placement of flares.

Before lighting a flare, you must locate the position where the flare will be greatly visible to oncoming traffic. You must strategically place the flare in a way that it is visible to oncoming motorists. The flare should be able to alert the oncoming traffic that there is an accident, stalled car, or other object coming up.

To ensure that the oncoming traffic is alerted of the situation, place a flare 15 feet behind your vehicle and if possible another flare 30 feet behind the vehicle. If you are stuck on a two lane road, place a flare 15 feet ahead of your vehicle too.

Also, turning up hazard lights on your vehicle can also warn motorists.

3.    Lighting the flare.

Non-incendiary flares are easy to light up. Power up the flare, ensure that you have spare batteries along with you. It is recommended that you do not keep batteries within the device when it is not in use.

Nowadays hospitals are also getting aware about equipping emergency lights which may help evacuation processes much faster and safer.

When one thinks of emergency lights for sports, perhaps the chemical light is the first thing that comes to mind. And why shouldn’t they? After all, these lights have been used for the last three decades for disasters, camping, hiking, etc. These lights are inexpensive, light-weight, and effective.

Just like most of the emergency lights, they also have their drawbacks. They don’t come with an off button. Nor, they can be recharged. In case they are broken, the potentially harmful chemicals can cause irritation or some serious damage to your body.

What to do then? Well, a wise idea would be to settle for Triage Lights. Also known as Emergency/Tactical (E/T) lights, these lights are specially designed keeping in mind the issues related to chemical lights.

Let’s check the groups of people who use these lights during different situations.

Military personnel

E/T lights were developed after a request by a combat medic. These professionals used to carry four bags of different-colored chemical sticks. This was, definitely, challenging considering the load and volume they needed to carry. These problems were resolved with E/T lights. They were lightweight and a single unit could be used for four different colors.

Sportsmen and adventurers

These lights have been used by cavers, campers, hikers, scuba divers, and bikers. While going to camps, the individuals are able to illuminate their tent, read maps, and use it for camp member marking. The lights are also used for cookie trail marking or crab track marking. They don’t have to rely on chemical lights, which are prone to cracks during harsh conditions.

San Francisco Paramedics Association

This organization began using triage lights during a casualty care course. After ensuring the lights worked efficiently, San Francisco Paramedics Association has decided to use them for all emergency-related purposes.

Families

We, as individuals, do lots of things for our family. Ensuring their safety is one of them. Various families use triage lights to make sure their kids, elderly parents, and pets are safe.
