LED Flares Has anyone used one, are they worth the trouble, or should I save my money and buy a safety triangle. I took an old Gym Bag, and have made it my car ditch bag. In it I have my electric car Jack, an electric air pump, a blanket, a multi tool, a wrench. I have a safety hammer and a GPS in the car. So am trying to put together a nice kit so that I won't be SOL if I should be by the side of the road.

why not both? I don't think either of them are very expensive. You know you can buy one of those bags for less than $50 right? I bought one for my daughter that has all of that included for $45 on amazon.

Personally I'd get the triangle and a few traditional flares. Not sure how durable the LED flares are.

You should also carry two spare tires - that saved my ass on a couple occasions. [sm=car.gif]

The problem with standard flares is that they contain Perchlorate...and that stuff leaches into the ground water. In MA the accepted Perchlorate level is 2 parts per billion and below (one drop in an olympic sized pool). In addition to it's ability to disrupt thyroid function, newer studies are showing it can affect brain development in children. The LED lights have a general shelf life of 10 years and can last 100 hours and they work in all weather. The LED flares also do not run the risk of igniting gas fumes etc. Edit to add link: http://youtu.be/9SkUbm8Xhmg
