Emergency Flares are often used in the belief that they significantly slow down traffic. However, this is not a direct result of the use of such warning lights, as some studies show.?However, the actual mode of action of Emergency Flares is to draw attention to the unexpected danger. This can happen in road traffic or any other situation. For example, even a dangerous stairway landing that repeatedly causes falls. As a result, the person approaching the Emergency Flare decides how to adjust his behavior. This can be increased attention or even the slowing down of the vehicle.
Emergency Flares are therefore one of the most effective where human attention to a dangerous circumstance can be a problem.
Note: If Emergency Flares are used where they are not necessary, they quickly lose effectiveness. After being continually alerted to a condition that doesn’t really seem out of the ordinary, research and experience have shown that people are not sufficiently aware of an Emergency Flare. This can lead to disregarding all Emergency Flares, even those that are truly needed.
Strobe lights, flashing lights, and blinking lights. What are the differences –?Flashlights, Flashers or Flashing Flares generally generate one the highest level of attention. The short flare of the intense light pulse is usually one of the best signaling effects. The strong light pulse is often perceived even when the flashing beacons are not in the immediate field of vision. CARE-FLARE? are therefore the right emergency flares when it comes to the fast and effective warning at the scene of an emergency and of danger.
In contrast, a stroboscope is a device that produces a much stronger and shorter cycle, or several light flashes in succession. CARE-FLARE? are not stroboscope flares, but only flashing lights. They come relatively close to the stroboscope effect without having its disadvantages.?In our opinion, this kind of warning can also be dangerous because of too much glare or distraction.
Blinking lights warn by flashing at regular intervals. In general, blinking lights are more of a warning in the immediate vicinity and not at a distance. The light stimulus of a blinking light is, the same as with a flashing light, better perceived than a permanent continuous light. Blinking lights also create a good perception of the environment but are not intended to increase attention strongly.

CARE-FLARE? - BENEFITS
In tough operations, you want to be able to rely unconditionally on man and material. Emergency flares that do not meet these strong demands or do not fulfill their safety promise endanger emergency personnel more than they help them. The same applies if the products are too complex to operate. After all, you want to concentrate on the management of the operation and not on the complex operation of the Emergency Flares. CARE-FLARE? was developed exactly for these professional demands and is already in active use in many places around the world. The number of satisfied and professional users increases weekly…
CARE-FLARE? - IP67 TESTED
IP67 is a type of protection classification used for devices and enclosures. The IP (Ingress Protection) rating is represented by two digits, with each digit providing specific information about the degree of protection against the ingress of foreign bodies and moisture.
In summary, IP67 means that the device is dustproof and protected against temporary immersion in water.
CARE-FLARE? - VARIANTS
CARE-FLARE? – RED The signal color red stands, generally speaking, for emergencies, dangerous, or hazardous conditions and requires immediate action. A red signal light usually indicates the highest warning level. Red flares and beacons are often found on alarm systems, aviation obstructions, to secure railroad crossings, in airport lighting, and as emergency lighting. While some countries allow the use of red Emergency Flares, other countries prohibit their use.
CARE-FLARE? – RED?– The 4 flashing modes – Red/white – Alternating in flash mode – Red – Alternating in flash mode – Red – Continuous light – White – Continuous light (flashlight function)
CARE-FLARE? – ORANGE The signal color orange usually indicates a serious warning. Orange usually requires a higher level of alertness by the person. You know it from a flashing orange traffic light system. Here, too, the use is regulated differently in many countries. Orange warning colors are often used for vehicles in the construction sector, for transport (heavy and wide), towing, or for maintenance and cleaning.
CARE-FLARE? – ORANGE?– The 4 flashing modes – Orange/white – Alternating in flash mode – Orange – Alternating in flash mode – Orange – Continuous light – White – Continuous light (flashlight function)
CARE-FLARE? – BLUE The color blue, like all other colors in Emergency Flares, is subject to national regulations. In many countries, blue has a very strict function because in many countries, blue is the warning color of the emergency forces like police, fire departments, and emergency doctors. The restrictions are accordingly strict. A blue flashing light in combination with a siren may therefore only be used (by professionals) if the highest urgency is required to save human lives or to ensure public safety or order. Pay special attention to the applicable rules
