These are great lights! Work better than described actually! Was so pleased with the first set I ordered another.
Update 8.17.18 I used zip ties and placed two of these on the back of my 14' Hobie fishing kayak as it sticks out the bed of my truck quite a ways. At a top light a State Trooper stated he thinks they are great and much better than just a simple red flag or shop towel he sees so often. I did not remove them while using the kayak and one took on a bit of water, but after I drained it and dried it out a couple of days it worked fine. I inquired from Garage Monkey (seller) if they had waterproof ones and was advised these should do just fine. I explained one got a bit wet but works fine and I was going to apply some silicone sealant around the screws and the magnet area to test them again. Rod, the owner advised me he has sent two free replacements at no charge!!! Amazing and Outstanding customer service that is far above what anyone would expect!
I bought this 4 pack because of excellent reviews and best per unit price. Turns out not a bad choice, and I'm adding another 5 star review. The rotating lights mode might be the most useful during road emergencies, so I tested it with 3 eneloop batteries to see how long it actually lasts. After 10 hours, batteries were mostly dead but lights were still flashing as bright as with fresh batteries. Very impressive. Lights are very bright and should be seen even in daylight.
It comes with instructions how to open the back plate to install batteries. Back plate is installed pretty tight for water proofing. Without reading the instructions I would probably have tried to pry it open using a screwdriver or something and damage the housing. In case you are wondering - there are two tabs in the 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock location to give you some leverage to pull the back plate off.
Also interesting that seller mentioned not to use regular or cheap alkaline batteries because they eventually leak and ruin the device. That's my experience too. Even "good quality" duracell and Costco kirkland batteries are prone to leak after certain years. Energizer max and Energizer lithium primary are the only two types don't leak, or try LSD NiMH rechargables.
These LED Road Flares seem to be available from a lot of different web sites and they all look the same to me but the prices varied a LOT from one web site to another. When I received them I was not disappointed. They look well made and function perfectly. And this website had them for the best price by far. (when you figure the per unit price) I ordered 3 sets and maybe I should have ordered more. By the time I put them in my vehicles, my wife's and kids vehicles and gave a couple to friends, I almost ran out! every car should have several in the glove box!
I have been looking at this for a long time and finally decided to order a set to test them out before ordering sets for all the vehicles. When I received them, I was very pleased with the initial feel of quality. They seem pretty rugged and well sealed to keep water out.
Con: To visually steer traffic around you, they need to "spin" in a clockwise direction, however, these "spin" in a counterclockwise direction that could visually steer someone into the back of your vehicle instead of around it. Of course, if you are buying these in a European country, they are perfect. This can easily be overcome by placing them upside down, but if you need to place them on your vehicle, you lose the use of the magnet. I would think that this would be an easy fix on the logic board for the factory.
They do their job and are bright. Only a four star rating because it takes a lot of effort and time to install the batteries. You need a screwdriver which was a hassle.
Also you need three AAA batteries for each which I didn’t know when I ordered. So it’s not just as simple as pop some batteries in and go. I like the magnetic feature on them and the hook.

These work great recently driving in penn on route 380 in the Pocno mountains it was on the early evening and about a 1/2 mile ahead I thought
was seeing things, and as I was getting nearer a car was on the side and having a tire changed, the drive had just two of these lights on the road but it did make it easy to spot. I keep mine in the car and ready to use they are great.
These are great emergency LED lights and should be in every vehicle in America!
They are well made and with the various selections of light display modes you can find one to get maximum attention like the one that appears to go in a circular cycle or pick on that flashes at longer intervals to give more battery life.
I have bought at least 25 of these for our family from various vendors over the last 5 years and they are worth their weight in gold. Get some!!
Since Road Side Flares are pretty much a thing of the past and illegal in some states, due to FIRE concerns. This is the next best thing.
They come in a Four Pack, so along with your warning Triangles you should be carrying, these Hi Intensity Flashing Light are an added safety measure if you become BROKE down on the Hiway. Can't Miss them at night.
An excellent product and very well priced.
Update: Seller replacing defective flare. This is why I buy on Amazon and will recommend this product to all family and friends.
One of four flares doesn’t work. Can’t get replacement, just return credit. Price doubled in 2 days. I won’t return and reorder for double price, no other options. They work great, when they work.
The product seems to be of good quality build but haven't exposed it to weather yet. It is very bright and highly visible. Magnet and hook make deployment very easy and effective. The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is the senseless design for access to the battery compartment. It is time consuming and difficult requiring great care and way too much time. Great caution is needed not to strip out the plastic screw hole threads with the metal screws and it would be so much faster if the common use of tension latches were used. If battery life proves to be short, this will reduce the rating even more. I use high quality batteries that last a long time in other appliances and hopefully the batteries will last long enough that replacement will not need to happen very often and especially during an event. The rating should probably be 3.5 stars but I decided to give the benefit of the doubt and go with 4.
