Vehicle Emergency Roadside Kit

LED Flares Make For Safe Emergency Lights

 

There are times as you travel either by yourself or with family members that the car just might breakdown somewhere at the most unusual time. If this should happen at night, you will need something to protect you from any oncoming vehicles. Usually, a flare is lighted to warn oncoming cars of something ahead and to slow down. Now, you can use the vehicle emergency roadside kit by Hokena that uses no flares to light and burn but flares that use LED lights to warn any oncoming vehicles up to 1 mile away. This is a lot safer because it does not use any matches (may not have any one you) to light the flare and prevent you from getting burned.

The flare emergency kit is also great if you should get a flat tire at night. The flare unit has a “flashlight mode” which will light up the area so you can change the tire with ease.

The flare emergency LED lights come in a kit of three flare units. They use 3 AAA batteries each to power them for a total of nine batteries. The factory pre-loads the batteries into all three flare units. So, when they arrive at your door, they are ready to use. The flares contain 15 LED’s with 12 amber and 3 white. Besides the flares, the kit also contains a key chain screwdriver set (Phillips and regular), window breaker, seat belt cutter escape tool, and a carrying bag to store the flares and accessories.

The flare units are magnetic and can be placed on the car without scratching the paint. You have nine lighting options to select from and they are:

• • 1. Rotate
    2. Quick Flash
    3. Single Blink
    4. Alternating Blinks
    5. Morse Code
    6. Solid on High
    7. Solid on Low
    8. Side Light
    9. Flashlight

A nice feature of the flare units is they have a built-in memory to remember the last lighting mode selected. Each of the lighting modes have a different battery life run time. You can check this out by clicking on the following link: lighting mode run times.

The flare units are crush proof and can hold up to 1000 pounds before breaking. They are also waterproof and will float in water.

If your household has more than one vehicle, you might consider ordering one for each car. Also, this kit is great for boat, bicycle, and motorcycle owners as well.

These flare kits also make for great gifts.

Questions People Are Asking About This Product

Below are some of the questions people are asking about this product.

Question: What approximate distance can these be seen?
Answer: They are very bright at night. I’m pretty sure they could easily be seen at the very least 300 to 500 yards out at a minimum. Plenty of warning time in traffic.

Question: Do these have a strong enough magnet to be used on farm machinery when traveling down the road and highway?
Answer: Yes! We only use powerful rare earth magnets in our flares so they will aways stay put.

Question: Where is this product made?
Answer: In China.

Question: Do they flash orange?
Answer: Kind of reddish orange also a white light for a flash light.

Question: Can flares be purchased individually?
Answer: No.

Question: How long are the batteries meant to last when not used?
Answer: The AAA batteries can last several years in the flares, depending on the storage conditions. However, similar to a smoke detector, it’s best practice to test or replace your batteries annually if you want to be extra cautious.
Don’t forget that you can always store spare AAA batteries in the zippered pocket of the carrying case and use the included key chain screwdriver tools for anywhere, anytime battery changes.
