Review on ๐Ÿšฆ Aervoe LED Road Flare - Single Flare with Classic Design by Robert Tyus

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Airvoe 1145 is great!

Electronic flares are great! I found a number of competing products and tried some of them. PowerFlare is one of the most expensive providers. My favorite is the Aervoe 1145. Aervoes are (in my opinion) comparable in performance to PowerFlares, but at a lower price. Aerovoe 1145 is durable and waterproof. It has all the flash modes you could want and is very bright. It hurts to look at him when he blinks, especially in the dark but even in a lighted room. (Although on a sunny day it will be difficult to draw attention to this and most of today's flashes.) I also like that it runs on two AA batteries and is made in the USA. blacksmith image I don't like the Smittybilt because of the triangular shape that reduces visibility. The Wagan is a decent choice but produces less bright flashes than the Aervoe. High-intensity LEDs have come a long way, but they're not "designed/designed the same" - and it shows. However, the Wagan will draw more attention at night than your car's hazard lights alone. Wagan runs on 3 AAA batteries. Finally, I also tried FlareAlert. FlareAlert's brightness is surprisingly good even though it only has two modes (solid and flashing). It runs at 4 AA and is arguably brighter than the Wagan which has fancier flash modes. All LED flashes have long run times, but FlareAlert is very easy to open - you can isolate the batteries with a plastic strip to prevent energy leakage, then open the lid and remove the plastic strip when needed in seconds. . All of these units are built fairly solidly and will survive a collision. I haven't tested how they behave when submerged in water, but judging by the build quality they should at least withstand a bit of rain. Personally, I like Aervoes and FlareAlerts best because of their good price/performance ratio. Placement Notice. Typically, truck drivers are required to place reflective triangles or emergency signal lights 10 feet behind (4 paces), 100 feet behind (40 paces), and 100 feet ahead (unless the road splits). The higher the rate limit, the more notifications you want to provide. (One method used by some emergency services when marking lanes is to take the road speed limit in miles per hour, multiply it by four, and place the first traffic light at least that distance. For example, for a 40 road miles per hour, The first flare in the "cone" is placed at least 40 * 4 = 160 feet away.) In practice, you don't want to put yourself at much risk when trying to set up flares! Be careful, always walk by the side of the road if necessary and watch out for obstructions such as curves and hills. The visibility of all signal lights is greatly improved when they are raised even a few feet, for example to the top of a traffic cone or bracket.
