Safer Roads: Introducing Flameless LED Flares for Emergency Situations

Traditional road flares, while common in roadside safety kits, pose significant risks. With burn temperatures reaching 5,000 degrees and containing numerous toxic chemicals, their safety is questionable. Improper use can easily ignite gasoline or cause burns. Keystone Group offers a safer alternative: the FlareAlert, a battery-operated LED flare visible from both air and ground. Originally marketed to emergency services who have already purchased tens of thousands, it’s now available to the public. AAA responds to over 28 million roadside assistance calls annually, indicating a substantial need for reliable emergency signaling devices. The FlareAlert features 12 high-output LEDs, a magnetic base for vehicle mounting, and long battery life (20 hours in flash mode, 6-10 hours steady-on). It’s durable, withstanding over 4,500 pounds of pressure, and environmentally friendly, leaving no residue or scorch marks. It uses two AA batteries, the bulb life is approximately 10 years or 100,000 hours.
