|
|
---|---|---|---|
F.R.E.D.Wagan Tech’s Flashing Roadside Emergency Disk (FRED) is a safe, bright and effective tool for warning other motorists of your emergency roadside situation. A safe alternative to road flares, the FRED Light is IP55 rated, shatterproof, extremely bright, and is a highly versatile and valuable tool no matter what your use. Use it at home or on the road, your friend FRED will not let you down! |
Hanging Hook/Stand + MagnetFRED has a flush fitting hook that can be used to hang FRED from a fixed object, or used as a stand to support FRED in an upright position for better visibility. The integrated super strong magnet ensures that FRED will stay in place on an iron (ferrous) metal surface such as a car body, fence post, mailbox, street light, handrail, car bumper, or road sign. |
Emergency Use at HomeThe FRED Light is not only for roadside use. Use FRED at home to identify your location so that first responders can easily find you. If you are in an emergency, seconds count. Placing a FRED Light on your house or curbside can make it easier for emergency personnel (Police, Fire, and Ambulance) to find your location. |
FRED's Included BagIncluded with the 3-pack of FRED lights is a handy zippered storage bag that functions as good as it looks. The bag is designed to hold three FRED lights when not in use, and facilitates easy location of the FREDs when they are needed. |

Trusted By Emergency and First RespondersWe constantly receive rave reviews of the FRED from all over the world. Many Police Departments, Sheriff’s Departments, Fire Departments, Ambulance companies, and Civil Services rely on our FRED Lights to keep them visible and out of harm’s way. Wagan Corporation thank those individuals for their dedicated service! |
Worklight-FlashlightThe 3 white LED worklight is perfect for up-close work and can help act as an under the hood light. A perfect amount of light for finding the path at night, or keeping tabs of items during a roadside repair, the bright 3 LED worklight/Flashlight is a great addition to the FRED's already invaluable toolbox. |
IP55 Waterproof RatedThe FRED Light is IP55 (Ingress Protected) which means that it can withstand most dust from entering its case and it can with stand low pressure water jets. For regular users, that means that the FRED is built tough; dust and water do not affect the FRED Light and it even floats too! |
For Use AnywhereFRED can be used for non-emergency use too. A great way to add party ambiance; use FRED as a neat floating pool light show, walkway or path marker, keep track of the kids at night, or marking your campsite, FRED’s uses are only limited by your imagination! |
New Upgraded Internals
Our FRED has been redesigned with a new switch and perfected battery regulation. The redesigned switch is intuitively designed to allow easier mode manipulation through all of the FRED’s 10 lighting modes. Our resolved PCB allows the FRED to be stored for long periods with negligible battery drain.
Compact and Tough
Having a Polycarbonate case surrounded by a Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) wrap, the FRED Light is shatterproof and well armored for the bumps and bruises of life. The TPE armor aids in better visibility of FRED, and gives a solid non-slip grip. With a shatterproof load capacity of up to 500kg, FRED is a tough light that anyone can use.
Easy Battery Replacement
Battery changes are simple. Just remove the two Phillips head screws and pry the case apart by one of the two tabs. The case will seem stiff to separate due to the seal on the body (which gives FRED the IP55 Waterproof rating). Once apart, the three AAA batteries will be visible in their tray and easily accessed for removal. Reassemble FRED in reverse order.
Unlimited Use Options
Having a flush fitting, multi-function hook and the super strong magnet back allow FRED to be used anywhere for any need; kids love the FRED too! With a high impact body and waterproof rating, FRED is a tough friend that is always there for you and will not let you down!

The light unit has a powerful magnet at the base so you can attach it to your vehicle. The lights have multiple settings for various flashing sequences. The light also has an LED white light to use as a flash light. The best feature is the unit can be run over by a car and still function. Some lights in the market will be crushed by an automobile but this one is marketed as being tougher. Thankfully, I have not had a chance to find out on my own so far but it is good know if a bad driver did run it over it will keep working. I highly recommend this product.
Pro's:
They are quite bright.
Several modes of operation.
Magnetic back to attach to a vehicle or other metallic surface.
Much longer run time than your ordinary 30 minute road flare.
They are reusable, probably the last flares you'll need to buy if you care for them well.
No risk of igniting fuels or brush on the roadside as with ordinary flares.
Con's
The hook on the back seems flimsy but I don't see it ever being used in most situations.
The one star review complaining about the difficulty opening them is a bit absurd, certainly not enough to warrant a one star review. The vendor is up front about this in the instruction manual and if you apply a bit of logic, you would want a tight seal for a device which is designed to be exposed to the elements be it sand, rain or snow and so on. Easy way to go about opening them is with a screwdriver with a removable bit. Remove the bit after you unscrew the screws, press the portion of the screwdriver where the bit would fit under one of the two plastic ears on the device and apply some pressure and it will open right up. I had to use a bit of force but didn't at all feel like I was at risk of breaking the device.
-----First: Will drain batteries, even while OFF-----
These units employ a 'soft switch' which means that they will continually drain the batteries even when switched 'OFF', unless you break the battery connection using the factory-installed plastic tab. For my use, in an emergency kit, I have tested all the units by removing the white plastic tab in the battery compartment, then immediately replaced it before storage. Storing them with the plastic tab installed in the battery compartment should prevent any battery drain (which is why they are shipped this way).
-----Second: Difficult to open-----
These flashers are difficult to open due to the tight construction and water-tight seal. In order use them, you must remove the factory-installed plastic tab in the battery pack, which requires remove the cover and opening the unit. After removing the two Philips screws, I could only remove the lid by prying with a flat-head screwdriver. While not an issue when testing them at home, I could see this as being an issue in an emergency. As previously explained, these units should NOT be stored with the plastic tab removed, otherwise the batteries will drain. Rather, test for functionality and replace the plastic tab.
-----Solution for Emergency Kit Usage-----
All that said, these are still great flashers for use in an emergency kit. My solution to the aforementioned problems is simple and relatively easily executed. Basically, I open the units, re-install the plastic battery tab after initial testing, and store them in a plastic bag with the lids off. In an emergency, I simply open the plastic bag, pull the plastic tabs out off each battery compartment, snap on the lids and use them. In this case, the tight lids are actually an advantage because the units stay together without needing the screws. To keep everything watertight, I have plugged the unused screw holes in the lid with "Goop", although duct tape might also work.
In summary, these are great flashers for an emergency kit IF you take the time to properly prepare them to prevent battery drain.
