MARCALA 2019 Roadside Safety Discs | The only complete LED Road Flare kit w/a Whistle! | DOT Compliant LED Safety Flare Kit w/Batteries installed, Carry-Case and 3 Bonuses | Feel safer on the road!

Super quality, rapid delivery, don't buy cheap alternatives available - these are QUALITY items.

Very bright, good selection of alternating patterns to use. Nice instruction sheet included with helpful tips on proper placement. I plan to carry one in my daypack for extra peace of mind when hiking in the fickle weather of the Pacific Northwest. They only weigh 6oz each with batteries. I'll order more for all my other vehicles as soon as they become available again. My only suggestion to Marcala would be to have 4 in a set instead of 3. Seems like a better ratio to distribute near your vehicle. Shout out to Liana at Marcala’s customer service for her quick response and alternate plan should my box be lost forever in the postal purgatory. Fortunately the box eventually showed up. Huge appreciation to the postal workers who keep showing up to work in the worst conditions and push those boxes from one side of the country to the other. I spent time shopping the various vendors who sell these type of lights. After sifting through fake reviews as well as those written by the chronically miserable who would complain that water is too wet, I chose to purchase from Marcala based on the selection of product and overall positive feedback. I leave it to you as a consumer to choose who to order from. I happened to have a great experience with Marcala considering the current climate of poor customer service everywhere. And now I will give a review of the reviewers... To anyone who is in EMS, or on a road crew, or is a professional driver: Please go easy on the harsh reviews. These LED lights are not designed for daily deployment and abuse that your professions see on a regular basis. I don't know if they would be a great addition to your industrial level gear or are capable of enduring the rigors of First Responders jobs. But to be dismissive and relegate them to a "junk" category does a disservice to the everyday person that these were designed for. We need to encourage people to adopt basic and easy to use tools to have in their vehicle while they wait for help to arrive. The K.I.S.S. principle applies to these products (Keep It Simple, Stupid). LED pucks are targeted for a broad audience. Example: Your sweet little grandma or grandpa or your teenager with limited driving experience. Who wants their elderly parents or teenager standing on the side of the road under cold windy or rainy conditions struggling to light a 30-minute flare after having a tire blow out? Most roadside services/tow trucks take a lot longer than 30 minutes to reach them. Meanwhile, the 3 flares that were set in place have long been extinguished before the tow truck arrives. The LED lights offer an added measure of safety. If these lights are the only item carried or part of a network of traditional flares and triangles, SOMETHING in the vehicle is BETTER THAN NOTHING! A safety item can only be useful if a person is comfortable using it. Lots of chatter and questions from reviewers about lumens and brightness. LED technology, like all technology, improves exponentially every year both in lumen output and price point. Are these as bright as a hot flare? Probably not. Nor does an apple taste like an orange either. Don’t get hung up on lumens. I can attest that these are very bright and should do well in alerting other drivers to avoid your disabled vehicle or draw attention to SAR if lost in the woods or desert or mountain peak. My advice to potential buyers: Buy now and buy the new and improved later on. Buy them for all your vehicles and family. They’re affordable enough to do so. Keep extra batteries. Remember, nothing is built to last 20 years or even 5 years for that matter. And stop expecting these to be seen from the Space Station when it orbits overhead. Safe travels, DW

very brightness

there are no DOT markings, I believe the wording of add is misleading, stating it meets DOT standards but theirs no proof and theirs no DOT marking so I'm returning for a refund

These Marcala LED Safety Flares are a really nice set for keeping with your vehicle for that JIC (Just In Case) emergency roadside situations. Very bright LED lights that are different lighting modes. The set of three (3) LED Safety Flares come individually bubble wrapped inside a red zippered cordura bag just like the video by seller indicates. The only thing that I'd note is that while the box states: "WHAT'S INSIDE? *4 LED Safety Flare, 2019 Version" Maybe they intended to say four (4) side emitting LEDs per side of each flare? Certainly NOT four (4) LED Safety Flares inside the box, because there is ONLY (3) Three LED Safety Flares. Comes with AAA installed with 3 additional spares. There's also a "Multi-Tool" that's included, more like a key (1-Flathead + 1-Phillips Head) for removing battery compartment to replenish with fresh charged ones. The LED Safety Flares have a plastic carabiner-like hook that folds flush to the body of the Flare. There's also what appears to be two (2) magnet discs that can be seen through the plastic backing. The magnet has a decent "adherence" onto flat ferromagnetic materials. To me, can be easily knocked off the side of vehicle's body if brushed up against. The body material is composed of plastic and hard rubber. The LEDs are housed in clear plastic, and the orange carabiner-like hook (except the gate which is metal) as well as where the magnets are housed are plastic. The rest of the orange surround such as at the corners are hard rubber. Overall, I believe this is a good purchase. For me and my uses, I've changed out the batteries to the Duracell Procell. Come to think of it, maybe I'll have to try it out with AAA Lithium Batteries. Hmmm. . . Will add/edit when appropriately warranted.
