Wagan Tech F.R.E.D.: Flashing Roadside Emergency Disk
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
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!

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
While researching traditional flares, I found these on an amazon search. They seemed very durable with a ton of options. I figured at $10 per, they were a decent deal.
I am very happy with what showed up. The three flares are batteries included! All you have to do is unscrew the back plate and take out the battery shipping insulator. After that they all worked perfect right out of the box.
There are a ton of different settings. The first is a white LED flashlight on the top which could be very useful when walking along the road to place the flares down for the first time.
The setting that I find the most attention grabbing is the "rotation" setting where the LEDs cycle in a circular pattern. Many of the other settings like the blink patterns have too much "dark" time to me and I dont think i would use them in an emergency situation.
The flares themselves are VERY durable and have a weatherproof o-ring seal around the battery compartment. I could see a light car running over them without much damage.
Definitely worth having in your car and for a great price!
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.
The pack did come with all the items in question and was in great condition upon arrival!
Batteries survive in these with ease! When they are dead, the light will simply strobe red once and turn off. Just change the batteries and you're good to go! But I have yet to be disappointed with the battery life in these. And I use them frequently! ^_^
The lights are AMAZINGLY bright! And yes, even hurt to look at! All the lighting modes are included with no problems or lies! The case in which comes with the lights fits them perfectly (as it should) and is very well for it's intended use of storage. Another perk that holds true would have to be the 100% perfect liquid-proof protection! I have used these in the rain and even spilled drinks on them, and then washed them after with water! Still work amazingly! :D
I gladly rate this with my full five stars and could not be anymore happy with my buy!
[Note, this review was written WELL after perches of this product. (about two years after perches) and I am still giving it my full five star rating! :D]
