Wolo Model 3310-R Bright Star Magnetic Mount Strobe Light - Red Review

Usually, you get what you pay for. Sometimes, you get lucky and get more than what you paid for. Unfortunately, the Wolo Bright Star is actually worth less than the little bit I paid for it. First, the big design problem. It has a coiled cord, which means it has no reach unless you find a way to straighten it out. Second, the visibility is very poor in daylight conditions. Even on a cloudy day, this light won't really attract your attention more than a 1000 feet away. On a sunny day, this light isn't really noticeable unless you're standing a few feet away. Finally, quality is very poor. After a few days of use, I noticed moisture building up on the inside surface of the light. It had only been exposed to a very brief and light rain shower, and it has a rubber gasket, so I was confused. I took off the lens and wiped it off, but the condensation came back a few days later. After a couple weeks, I'm guessing some of that water finally made it to the motor because the light stopped working completely. How did the moisture get in there? When I took the new light out of its box, the rubber gasket looked brand new. After a week's exposure to the elements, surface cracks were appearing on all sides. For $25, I guess you can't get quality components. Stay away from this one.

Wolo Model 3600-A Power Beam Permanent Mount Halogen Rotating Warning Light - Amber Review

My son and I own a very ugly truck, a '75 Cargostar. My intention is to paint it up to resemble a passenger locomotive of the Union Pacific Railroad, so a revolving amber flasher is a must. I am happy to say that this unit is an acceptable facsimile of high quality, at a very attractive price. Installed easily, works reliably. It's bright enough to grab attention during the day, and sweeps a respectable pair of beams around the vehicle at night.
Very happy with this purchase!

Wolo Model 3100-A Beacon Magnetic Mount Rotating Warning Light - Amber Review

I've been looking at lights for my truck for sometime now and bought this one because of it's lower price just to try it out. To my surprise it seems to work quite well. I do landscaping on the side and every so often I have to leave my truck on busy streets where a light would come in handy just as an extra layer of visibility. It's OK during the day but at dusk/dawn when you really want the visibility it works perfectly. The magnet is strong enough to take some bouncing around on some bad roads and has held up to highway speeds. The cord is pretty long but you will have to stretch it out. It does what it's meant to and does it well. Just as a side note the light that I received came with a spare bulb which is pretty nice and I suspect that if something broke (the cord/plug/motor) it would be fairly easy to replace, and that being said this is not for someone who plans to use it day in, day out but for occasional use it'll do the job.

3 FlareAlert LED Emergency Beacon Flares with Storage Bag Review

3 FlareAlert LED Emergency Beacon Flares with Storage Bag

My Flare Alert arrived very quickly and I am incredibly satisfied with my purchase. The bag is sturdy and contains three pockets that safely hold each Flare Alert until you are ready to use them. (There's also room to store batteries inside if you don't want to actually put them into the light until you need to use it.)
Each light needs three AA batteries. I tested one and was amazed at how bright the light was. It literally hurt to look at it more than a few milliseconds. I'm positive that this would be able to viewed from a long distance. I stuck it on the fridge and the magnets worked fine.
It's a great little addition to any car emergency kit. Traditional flares can be dangerous and unreliable. These are safe, easy to use, can be seen from a greater distance, and are longer lasting.
They also have a variety of uses - I could see someone using it to demarcate a driveway for visiting guests or as a night light for kids or even as lighting for a party (you might need to place some sort of lampshade or something over them as these things are really bright).
