Electronic Safety Flares Protect Motorists, Environment
LOUISVILLE, Colo., July 21, 2006 -- Most automotive safety kits contain at least one incendiary, or strike, flare - but, with burn temperatures above 5,000 degrees and an ingredient list full of toxic chemicals, the flares themselves are dangerous to both the user and the environment.
Now there is an alternative: The Keystone Group's new FlareAlert(TM) (http://www.FlareAlert.com), a battery-powered safety flare visible for miles from both the ground and air.
Twelve high-output LEDs give the FlareAlert its bright, non-toxic glow. The super-bright emergency beacon requires only two AA batteries to operate, yet it provides up to 20 hours of flashing light. The FlareAlert is also very durable, even strong enough to be run over by most civilian vehicles.
"The FlareAlert is a family-friendly alternative to strike flares," said Brent Jones, Vice President of The Keystone Group. "Incendiary, or strike, flares can ignite spilled gasoline or oil and can cause brush fires. Strike flares have even been known to contaminate groundwater." The many safety and environmental shortcomings associated with strike flares have even led many police and fire departments to switch to LED-based flares. "This is hardly surprising," Jones said. "Flares are safety items; they should be safe to use."
With more than 16,000 traffic accidents occurring each day in the US, roadside safety is a concern for millions of people. "You can never be too prepared," Jones said. "From accident scenes and engine trouble to flat tires, many motorists find themselves in situations where they need to alert other drivers to their presence. The FlareAlert is also commonly used by bicyclers, boaters and campers as an emergency beacon."
FlareAlert is currently available in red and yellow. Storage bags and other accessories are also available. For more information, or to purchase the FlareAlert, visit The Keystone Group at www.FlareAlert.com or call 303-652-6164.
