Review on Boost Safety with Sunnyglade Collapsible Reflective Traffic Purpose Occupational Health & Safety Products by Nelson Calafell

Cone: As I said, the cone extends and retracts, there are reflective strips. Let's see how it holds up over time. The "ribs" on the inside of the cone that give it stability, the plastic base and the top ring into which the lamp is inserted are made of plastic that looks rather fragile. They would not survive if hit by a car. It's not the rubbery plastic that awkward skittles are made of. Check out the comments of a police officer who tried them in real road conditions in the 1-star ratings. Maybe mine isn't working. Fingers crossed. When open, the cone is a bit heavy at the top. The bottom of the cone's base is actually removable, so it looks like you could glue something heavy to the corners of the base to keep the cone upright in the wind. Flashlights and Batteries: Each cone light requires two AA batteries. One should fit into the bottom of the battery holder with the "+" end DOWN and the other battery should fit with the "+" end UP. Then you need to insert the lower part with two batteries and screw it into the upper part. The bottom can fit into the top in two different orientations. So if you don't wear glasses or do it in the dark, you have a 50/50 chance of getting it right. Light enough to unscrew, rotate 180 degrees, reinstall, then rotate to tighten, but HUGE. If you don't see the very, very tiny (did I mention small ones?) "+" and "-" symbols on the underside of the top, it's easy to think the backlight isn't working at all. (See some one-star reviews.) Once you get the batteries set correctly, they'll blink, stay on, or off depending on how many times you push or pull out the little black button at the bottom top, and then put the light back on. . Mounts to the top of the cone (which pushes the little black button). I haven't checked how long the batteries last. Fingers crossed. Conclusion: These cones are not very expensive. They have blinking/solid lights once you sort out the batteries. Update: Another issue with the lights is that two of the bulbs lit up on their own when I put them back in their little boxes with the batteries installed and then put the boxed lights back in the original big box with the cones. If I didn't notice it would obviously drain the batteries. Therefore, make sure to store flashlights without batteries inserted. (Good practice anyway: who's looking for rusted batteries when they need a turn signal?)
