An emergency road flare is used to warn people of hazards on the road or highway; an accident scene, a fallen tree, closed lanes or other issues requiring safety precautions. Ambulances, fire trucks and police officers all carry road flares in their emergency response kits. Many motorists, especially commercial vehicles, also carry road flares for emergency situations.

Incendiary road flares contain chemicals that burn bright red when the flare is activated. The risk of these flares is accidental fire, burns to the user and recently discovered, the chemicals contained in these flares can be harmful to our environment.

The logical alternative and now superior solution is the use of battery operated LED Safety Flares. By incorporating a Li-Ion battery, the flares can be stored for up to ten years and still have sufficient energy for use in an emergency.

The light that is given off by an LED road flare is very bright, which makes it visible from great distances and in poor visibility conditions. Proper use of road flares usually includes laying several flares in a row in order to attract the immediate attention of approaching traffic and make them aware that caution is to be used.
