Or what, how does it work and where can it be purchased? These are just some of the quests that strike the minds of two people who are thinking of purchasing this luminous device that helps save lives. In this article, let's, in a simple and succinct way, clarify all the doubts that we still have in relation to Help Flash.
- The Help Flash is a compact, easy-to-use and very robust light device that helps save lives.
- It was conceived and manufactured in Spain and was approved in accordance with European standards.
- It is visible from 1km away and in all directions (360º).
- It is resistant to water and impacts (IP54 and IK04 standards).
- It weighs 170g and has 88 mm compression by 53 mm length.
- It has a magnetic fixation and has automatic or manual activation.
- It has a autonomy of 2.5 hours and is powered by a common 9V battery.
- In addition to the signal lighting, it has a fixed white light function that allows you to carry out any type of task while keeping it as free as possible.
- Allows you to perform a test on the battery charging status.
- The average battery life is 36 months.
Legal framework
According to national legislation, in the event of an accident, the driver must signal his presence and signal in advance or proceed through the following two methods:
- Placing a pre-signaling triangle and using the retro-reflective collar as soon as it is outside the vehicle.
- Using warning lights always makes the vehicle represent danger.
Portuguese legislation, similar to Spanish, does not prevent the placement of a yellow luminous device outside the immobilized vehicle and by using Help Flash as a possible, comfortable and safe solution.
In Portugal, like other countries, special professional lights have limited use and are only authorized for certain vehicles. The Help Flash is a new device not covered by traffic regulations (except in Spain) and therefore cannot be considered a special type of professional light.
