Beats a flare!
"I've had the older version of this in my glove box for a number of years; now that I'm married, I felt that I had to get one for my wife (who also thinks it's super cool!) Hopefully, it will never be needed, however. . . !"

Roadside light is a miss, for me.
"This emergency light did not live up to my expectations as only one out of three would work. None of the lights would work reliably so I will not use them for the purpose they were purchased. Too bad as I had hoped to use these for safety. Of course, I'm well past the return date so this one is on me. : ("
Vehicle always ready to help
"Amazing to have in your trunk for you or a fellow motorist. Buy LiON AAA for extended life and these should always be handy with lots of options. I have 6 of them and they are fantastic. A must have for any motorist."
Outstanding
"Love it. Tough, waterproof. super bright, all as described. Just wished WAGAN made one with amber LED's since this - except in 'permanent on' - can not legally attached to any vehicle in CA. Color red and flash patterns a protected for police use."
Great emergency warning lights, with magnet that can attach to a vehicle
"I bought these lights for roadside emergencies. They are an adequate size, as big as the palm of an adults hand, strong magnet in the base, bright lights, and several lights sequences."
Great for emergency and the flashlight mode is great for anytime a light is needed
"just tested it out on my street but everyone liked it's functionally."
This Will Be Seen
"I bought one for each car in case of a roadside emergency at night. Very bright with a variety of different light patterns, flashing, rotating etc. You must remove the battery cover with a Philips screwdriver and pull an insulating tab before use. The cover is a tight fit and should be waterproof. I replaced the included alkaline batteries with Energizer L92s for better cold weather performance and less chance of battery leakage."
how do you make it work and how do you change batteries?
"nothing yet"
For safety
"Have not used yet, but had another which provided a good safety zone for the car"
Awesome this really works!
"Got this light as a gift and put it under the rear seat of my truck. Batteries that come with it do not last ans recommend changing them as soon as you get it and keep spares with you. Three of these lights in the road can be seen along way when in strobe mode. Made a great emergency tail light for a trailer on a rainy night magnet really holds it well but you might want to tied it down also so just a piece of pull cord worked well. I am very pleased with my F. R. E. D. Light Fred"
