HOW EXACTLY DO CARE-FLARE® AND OTHER FLARES SUPPORT INCREASED SAFETY?
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 in 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.

CARE-FLARE ADVANTAGES
CARE-FLARE’s High-Power Flashlight is visible at night from over 2000 meters away. This is thanks to ultra-powerful LED. The 360° visibility and 140° directional luminosity, together with the high design of CARE-FLARE, ensure maximum visibility and safety for your emergency forces even on hilly and unpaved roads.
CARE-FLARE was developed to withstand the adverse influences of tough use for many years without any problems. The robust and sophisticated aluminum construction thus ensures a very long service life for the CARE-FLARE warning lights. CARE-FLARE hazard warning lights have a long warranty of 5 years. However, if something should happen, our service and support as well as the high availability of spare parts help to get the flashlights back into operation as quickly as possible. CARE-FLARE warning flashlights are designed for long and reliable operation.
Nothing is more annoying than when emergency personnel constantly have to take care of the operation of the warning lights because batteries are empty or the Flashlights are not stable. CARE-FLARE is built in such a way that it always stands securely at the site of operation. This is also on sloping surfaces. Even in adverse conditions such as storms, snow, water, or pressure waves from vehicles, CARE-FLARE always stands safely at the scene and continues to reliably warn of danger. CARE-FLARE thus increases the safety of your emergency forces because they are better seen.
The lighting duration of CARE-FLARE extends over several uses. The lighting duration of CARE-FLARE is important because you should decide for yourself when the use of your warning and safety lights should end. CARE-FLARE relies on classic batteries because they guarantee a longer lighting duration than commercially available rechargeable batteries. Thanks to its 4 batteries, the warning light from CARE-FLARE flashes significantly longer than most commercially available products. Change and do not charge is the motto here to be always quickly ready for use again. CARE-FLARE can be operated for over 70 hours without changing batteries.
CARE-FLARE warning lights and flashing lights are the perfect solutions for drawing attention to a wide range of hazardous situations, providing additional security at work and emergency sites, and warning from a far distance in an effective, safe, and user-friendly way. The intuitive operation works with a single button to set the different warning variants safely and quickly. This succeeds even with gloves on in winter
CARE-FLARE warning lights and safety lights are designed to be used very quickly and effectively. The ease of use, weight and small dimensions of the High-Power LED safety lights play a crucial role for rescuers. The warning lights can also be brought to the scene from rolling vehicles. This means faster-secured operation sites and more safety for your crew. The warning lights are light enough to be used on-site for longer periods of time, yet heavy enough to always have a secure footing at the scene.
CARE-FLARE is designed to significantly reduce your costs for warning and safeguarding at operation sites. On the one hand, the CARE-FLARE warning lights and security lights are built sturdy and durable, on the other hand, these are suitable and applicable for many different purposes. So you do not need several specialized warning lights but cover a wide range of applications with CARE-FLARE. Especially compared to combustible flares, which are used in various countries, you save valuable money with CARE-FLARE. Already after one used battery pack CARE-FLARE Warningbeacons are cheaper in use.
CARE-FLARE APPLICATIONS
IMPORTANT NOTES
Safety instructions for High-Power LED products – High-Power LED products such as CARE-FLARE® require a certain level of expertise to avoid health risks:
The CARE-FLARE® light can be very bright. Therefore, never look directly into it when it is near you. The strength can cause eye damage. From a distance of five meters, the danger is already much lower and therefore less dangerous.
The CARE-FLARE® should be positioned in such a way that it warns in the direction of approaching vehicles and persons. Never point the light cone at the eyes of other persons or animals. Ensure that children do not have access to the Emergency Flares and that older children are taught how to use them safely.
In each country, there are different rules regarding the placement of Emergency Flares on roads. Please inform yourself about these rules and observe them
- Caution LED light! Do not look directly into the LED light source!
- When setting up the signal lamp and during operation, make sure that no one is endangered (road traffic, etc.)!
- Observe the laws and regulations for the installation of safety beacons in your country.
- The product is not a toy. Keep away from children and animals.
- Do not immerse the product in liquid.
- Do not use the product if it shows visible damage or does not function properly.
- Only use batteries that do not show any external damage.
- Do not modify or rebuild the product.
CARE-FLARE® is maintenance-free. The integrated LED illuminants are permanently installed and cannot be replaced. Only wipe CARE-FLARE® externally with a clean, soft, dry cloth. Never use aggressive cleaning agents! CARE-FLARE® may only be repaired by an authorized dealer or the manufacturer.
CARE-FLARE® spare parts are available from your local distributor or directly from the manufacturer, Vogt-CTE GmbH.

HOW EXACTLY DO CARE-FLARE® AND OTHER FLARES SUPPORT INCREASED SAFETY?
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 in 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.
- A look at lighting and illumination at emergency scenes: The connection between good illumination and an effect on increased safety is based on better visibility. A safer environment in which people can see well is one in which the people involved recognize and respond to hazards
- Increased visibility, for example, can greatly help prevent slips and falls. Better illumination can prevent bumping into objects, missing steps, or tripping. It helps to better navigate unknown and changing floor conditions. CARE-FLARE® does not illuminate places but marks the dangerous places and calls for increased attention.
- A CARE-FLARE® is therefore most effective as a warning of unexpected or dangerous conditions that are not readily visible. This applies in all life situations. Privately, at work, or even in accident situations or in situations that cannot be seen or that require special attention.
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.
