 Welcome to Road Gear Reviews. I'm Mark from RVLove and today we're talking about the Magnitech Smart Flares. Stay tuned. Welcome back to Road Gear Reviews. Today we're talking about the Magnitech Smart Flares. These are emergency roadside LED flares. So basically it's a way to be able to light up your situation on the side of the road if you're ever stranded on the side of the road and need to have the additional safety equipment to make sure people see you and don't run into you. In the past you might have seen old style flares which are chemical fire flares that actually have a flame. Those can be a bit of a fire hazard and they can sometimes burn out. These LED flares will run for quite a long time and they're really bright. You can see them up to a mile away. So let's open it up and show you what's inside. These smart flares actually come in three colors. There's a yellowish orange color, a red color and a blue color. The ones we have are red. It can be kind of hard to tell during the day because during the daytime they look clear. This area here is where the LED that can be set to blink or to stay on steady. Again ours is red in color and the top of this is a small white LED that can be used as a flashlight. These white bands are reflective material so you can see them even if the light is not turned on and this is a water resistant material so even if these are sitting out in the rain they should be able to keep the battery safe and allow it to continue to light up for safety reasons. The base is magnetic so you can stick it to the side of your car or any other metal object in the area. This magnetic base screws off and this holds three AAA batteries which are included inside the case. There is also a plastic base that you can spread out the legs and provide a sturdy platform if you're setting it on to the road. This base when it magnetically attaches to it stays on really solid and you can set it on a solid surface that's not magnetic and it'll stay put. Because it doesn't get a lot of wind I imagine it would stay put even in high wind situations but even if it does fall over these legs will at least keep the item in one spot. If you don't have the legs attached and it blew over the wind it could roll off the side of the road and not be doing nearly as much good. So these little base can be really helpful even if you're not using it to stand up straight even if you want to just set it on its side. You can also use this base to set it on its side perhaps with the other one and allow it to point using the flashlight function to be able to light up a situation. For example you might be changing a tire or needing to have both hands free while still having a light from a third source. So I like that feature as well. Everything you need comes included in this little plastic case. There's no instructions included but I find it to be very straightforward so it didn't need instructions in my opinion. It has an on-off button that toggles between the lighting sequence off blinking or steady on. So this has a polycarbonate body and it's a comfortable grip. And you know what's funny because when I first saw these when I got them the package in the mail I thought, well this looks pretty cheap and flimsy but actually the more I started playing around with it the more I liked it. I love the flashlight feature. I love how bright this LED flashing is and I love that it's water resistant. Another thing I really like about it is this isn't just for RVs. It's such a small compact case that you could easily carry this in your car. It only weighs about a pound and it has two of these flares inside that little plastic case. I like that they comes with batteries. Some other flares that we've seen don't come with batteries. It's really bright flashing LED. It actually has 360 degree visibility for up to a mile away. The water resistant coating allows me to feel comfortable having it out there if there is some rain. Definitely a big fan of this product. $25 for the pack of two. Again you can choose the color whether you wanted red, orange or blue. We chose the red and I'm really happy with this product. Looking forward to keep this in our car so that we can be safe in the event we are ever stranded on the side of the road. I hope you found this video helpful.
