Help Flash is a life-saving emergency roadside light that will replace reflective triangles.
This is a roadside emergency beacon , not only approved but also recommended by the General Directorate of Traffic, which makes the vehicle visible in a matter of seconds from long distances and in any direction.
The lack of safety, inefficiency, and unsuitability of current signaling systems for people with reduced mobility are problems that have led to the emergence of this luminous device. It was designed to signal an emergency situation on the road simply , quickly, and with high performance, regardless of the vehicle and the characteristics of the driver.
Help Flash Features
Help Flash is a device equipped with features that make it unique and special:
- Magnetic activation: Offers maximum convenience and ease of use . With its magnetic activation system, it adheres to any metal surface and automatically begins to emit a flashing yellow signal in 3-flashing intervals. It can also be activated manually at any time.
- Visible at 1km and in 360º: The use of the latest LED technology, combined with Its patented parabolic reflector guarantees optimal light amplification, so that the vehicle is visible in all directions and in low-light conditions.
- Additional white light: Can be used as a lamp . Thanks to this function, you can illuminate and perform any task with both hands, with up to 5 hours of battery life.
- Lightweight, compact, and easy to store: Help Flash is small and handy. So it can be stored anywhere in the vehicle, and it's also a good choice for motorcycles and bicycles .
- Autonomous and wireless: A commercial 9V alkaline battery provides 2.5 hours of battery life in emergency mode . It also doesn't need recharging, so it's always in optimal condition for use.
- Durable: No matter what the weather is like, it is compatible with all types of weather conditions : rain, snow, wind and even fog.
In addition to its features, its multiple national and international patents and trademark registrations make the Help Flash lighting device unique. Furthermore, the trust placed in it by an organization like the Directorate General of Traffic only reinforces the credibility of this type of product, of which Help Flash is a pioneer, and which will eventually replace traditional warning triangles.
How do I use the Help Flash emergency light?
The Help Flash 's operation and use are quite simple and intuitive, requiring no prior knowledge. Simply place it on a metal surface in your vehicle, preferably the roof for greater visibility. It will automatically begin flashing yellow lights.
The Help Flash Smart , however, requires prior pairing with a mobile device via Bluetooth. Once the devices are paired, when the Smart Flash is activated, it will automatically launch the app on your mobile phone, and depending on the type of incident that occurred, the corresponding service will access the GPS location.
Both products can be activated by turning the cap in one direction. Once if emergency mode is required, and twice if you want to use the alternative flashlight function.
Thanks to its ease of use, which does not require leaving the vehicle, and the Help Flash's dimensions, this device is especially recommended for people with reduced mobility, pregnant women, those traveling with children, and motorcyclists.
Why a pile and not a battery?
There are several reasons why Help Flash comes equipped with a 9V alkaline battery instead of a rechargeable one, but the main one is the guarantee of the device operating under the safest conditions for the user:
- Rechargeable batteries require constant maintenance because they self-discharge , requiring the user to determine the battery type and, accordingly, recharge it every few days or weeks. This requires greater responsibility and effort on the part of the user for an emergency device that is used very occasionally.
- The average lifespan of a rechargeable battery, in the case of lithium-ion batteries, is about 3 years when stored at 40% of its charge . Storage above this value is not recommended, as this is incompatible with the purpose of a device like Help Flash , which must always be ready for use with the highest possible capacity .
- Batteries in general are expensive to sell, difficult to find, and not always possible to replace . This is the case with lithium-ion batteries, which should only be handled by a specialized service center. Therefore, the device will become obsolete very quickly. In contrast, an alkaline battery can be purchased at a general store and replaced by the user in just a few seconds.
- Rechargeable batteries are more sensitive to temperature than alkaline batteries . Lithium-ion batteries should not be stored or recharged above 60°C, not only because of the potential reduction in their lifespan, but also because of the risk of explosion during the charging process.
