There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
These units are about 4.5 inches across and plenty sturdy in my opinion. They are >easy< to open. One thing I was searching for in the description and reviews was whether they were weather resistant. In short, they are. There is a small rubber gasket on the body of the unit where the lid contacts which should be quite effective in keep water out of the unit. As also reported, there are two operating modes - one that keeps the light on continuously, and one that provides rapid flashing. The units come with a storage case (pictured) that also has two internal velco-secured compartments to hold the nine required batteries.
In terms of brightness, they are not as bright as the emergency flashers on your car. However, they are extremely bright, and can undoubtedly be seen quite a distance down the road. Looking at the unit from the top provides the brightest illumination (for instance, stuck magetically on a veritical plane on the back of your car) due to the design of the lens in the lid, however they are also plenty bright situated horizontally on the ground. When I looked at them directly from the top, I had to look away. That's plenty bright I think. I believe that if my vehicle was ever disabled on a dark and stormy night on a major Interstate, these three units spread out behind my disabled vehicle in flashing mode would attract a lot of attention. The proof in the pudding is the post from the user who actually used these in the conditions described, and who reported that people slowed down when they saw all the flashing lights. That's precisely what you want people to do, so in terms of the units "accomplishing their mission", I would say these lights are doing what they're supposed to do.
I bought two sets - one for my wife, and one for me. After looking them over, playing around with them, and even putting one in the back yard at night to see how effective it would be, I would say these will also be Christmas gifts next year for some of the people I care about. I think they are a much better option than flares, which only last about 30 minutes anyway, and orange triangles which can blow over and are not as visible at night. The only downside is the nature of batteries. It's a good idea to replace them every couple of years to make sure you have full strength batteries on hand to power the units. Something you must remember to do - just like changing the battery in your home smoke detectors - in fact, not a bad thing to add to the list.
I think these units are a great idea and recommend them to all.
Only 2 features I wish it had, more flash patterns, trivial, and a more covered on/off switch so that the lights do not come on when stored in the trunk of your car.
Its a minor thing but when you need them and the batteries are dead because it turned on while in transit, kind of a let down.
Overall, very lightweight, very bright and has a magnet inside the base to secure onto a car body as long as it is steel.
The carry pouch is simple but great for keeping the set together.
I would suggest keeping an extra set of batteries along with them as the lights are easy to accidentally turn on while they are in the their pouch. It is a simple push button on the top if the light itself but can be easily triggered by one of the other lights while bouncing around in transit and stored away.
Overall, very happy with them, had to use them once soon after buying and served their purpose well.
However, leaving all the batteries installed and functional isn't a perfect solution either though. As some other reviews have mentioned, the on/off switch on the top of the unit is easily bumped and the batteries would quickly drain if unnoticed in the case. Also, even if the switch was never bumped, the unit is likely to have some vampire drain. By the time these come out of the back to be used a year or two from now, they could very easily be dead.
My solution was rather low tech, but works for my purposes. The two side battery slots have more wiggle room available than the center slot, so I fashioned an insulator. I chose some thick paper and cut strips that wrap neatly around the positive end of the battery, then installed one in a side battery slot in each flare. The paper doesn't hinder the opening or closing of the unit, and slip out easily when needed. So all I (or my wife) have to do in an emergency road-side event is open the unit, pull the tab of paper from its protective position tab and close it back up. A strip of plastic insulation would probably be better, but I don't have any readily available.
As for the functionality of the flare, I took it outside after dark and it's plenty bright, even from a distance. Flashing mode and always-on mode were both highly visible. The magnet in each was strong enough to allow them to stick (and stay stuck) to both the horizontal and vertical surfaces on my vehicle. The included pouch is a bit on the flimsy side, but it is functional, and it contains two pockets with hook and loop (velcro) closure in addition to the three flare pockets. Each pocket is roomy enough to store 9 additional batteries, which means you could theoretically drain, refill, drain, refill, and then drain again before running out of batteries. The FlareAlert website claims up to 140 hours of usage in flash mode, so I doubt I'll ever actually need three full sets of batteries. A better use of the additional pouches might be storage space for small survival-type items such as a spare flashlight, first aid items, or fire starting materials... but that's a different topic.
Long story short, I'm happy with my purchase and would give these flares 3.5 stars. That's taking off a full star off for the battery compartment, and another half a star for the on/off switch. But the fact that I didn't have to make any permanent modifications to make them useful allows me to round it up to four instead of down to three.
