ZFlare LED Beacons - a good addition to the recovery/safety kit.

After seening an Eflare in use I decided to get something similar. After doing some research on features and cost, I decided on the ZFlare.

http://zflare.com/

Features: 9 flash patterns, non maring magnet, CR123 battery or rechargable

Available in Red, Yellow, (red and yellow are the brightest), Green, Blue, and white.

Cost: CR123 $20.00, Rechargable $40.00

I used 4 on my Power Wagon at the Parker 425 to mark our location for the racers, and to exit the race against traffic. We drove over part of the active course (with permission) at 50+ MPH to get out as fast as possible, and the magnet held the units on tightly even over some very rough sections of track. I took a short video from 50 yards away to show how bright 2 red and 2 yellow ZFlares are. These were on the rotating setting.

I foresee these as aiding in break downs, recovery, or stucks as warning/hazard light with no flame or smoke. They would also function as a great personal marker with the SOS feature, and to keep folks visable at night in recovery situations.

Yep.... been looking at these ever since they came out. 101 uses at least.

I'm buying this one..... 30 bux and it comes with 3 different chargers; 12v car, 110 ac, and USB....

(BTW.... Bad-***** race, no? Weather was perfect.... We came in 3rd in class 20. Not too bad considering this was our 4th year but only our 1st ever finish....)

Congrats!

I believe that is exactly the same unit, but rechargable. Good price!

We contemplated going out via Cunningham Wash, but after I walked down to it, I realized that a 7000 Lb truck, even a Power Wagon, was gonna have one hell of a time getting down to the Powerline. And my truck is considerably lighter than BX's with the 4WC on it.
