Smart Sequential Road Flares
(NEW FMCSA Exemption)

The pi-lit® ‘smart flare’ incorporate an innovative radio-linked network to automatically sequence the flash. Approaching drivers see a sequentially-lit string of flares much like a runway landing strip that guides traffic around the incident or work zone. They are easy to deploy and provide advanced traffic guidance and safety for motorist and road professionals. pi-lit Sequential Safety Flares has now been granted an exemption from the Federal Motor Carrier Administration (FMCSA) to be used as warning device in lieu of warning triangles or fusee flares.

Safety Made Simple

A confused or distracted driver is a recipe for disaster. Provide drivers with a runway like approach light that can be seen farther in advance and distinguishable from the other vehicle light bars. There’s a reason why a sequential landing zone beacon system (“rabbit”) is used on the runway threshold.

  • Automatic Synchronization of flares
  • Rapid Deployment System (RDS) automatically turns flare on (gloves okay!)
  • Endoskeleton carrying case makes deployment safe, quick, and easy!

Customer’s Feedback

8/26/2022 – Hello! My name is Frank Bianchi and I am the carryall manager for The Shelly Company NE Division. I recently ordered a set of your road flares to test with my night driver and our safety department absolutely loves them. I’ve been authorized to order 4 more units for just our divisions’ carryall drivers.

I’m inquiring to see if my company could set Pi-Lit up as a vendor? The Shelly Company has 3 divisions covering the state of Ohio. With our parent company, CRH, our reach spreads not only nationwide, but worldwide. Safety is the most important culture in our business, and we believe these sequential flares will help to make our drivers and crews safer out on jobs.

Let me know if we can set something up! We look forward to doing business with you!

7/26/2022 – This weekend, I was working a side job at a Tow Company and I had a tow downtown Chicago for a 1940 Packard. I wish I had pictures but I used my personal Pi-lit set (older generation) since we were on a two lane road and I had the one lane closed for pulling the car out of the street parking. All three of them I had were run over at least a dozen times and they all work perfectly. While I wasn’t shocked because it’s Chicago, I was still surprised how well they held up to the mostly SUV’s running them over at both fast and slow speeds.

4/22/2022Brian Bohlsen – The lights are great and have worked extremely well out on the highway! Other agencies have asked about them and really liked them! The troopers talked about getting them instead of flares! Great purchase for us! Thanks again for all of your help! Great customer service also!

Jordan Fire Department, Sequential Flares

6/21/2021 – Certainly! We are extremely pleased with the landing zone lights. It is very helpful that they are both in the visible spectrum and also infrared, so they work well with our Night Vision Goggles. The fire departments we give them to like them for their durability, spare battery storage and the handy carrying case.

Brian Conroy, Life Flight - Senior Safety Advisor (Now Chief Pilot) - MedEvac Kit

6/2/2022 – We have had the pi lit sequential flares (10 pack) for 2 years now. Our firefighters deploy them on accident scenes, for air med landings in the field, and even to help direct traffic during structure fire operations. The lights are compact, easily transportable, and have helped keep us safe both during training and calls. We were skeptical when we first bought them, but they have been ran over, dropped, beaten up, and put through all the tests of current firefighting operations and are still going strong. This was one purchase that we are absolutely thrilled with and are well worth the money. Once this set quits, we plan on upgrading and sticking with the pi lit lights!

Dylan Riedel, Fire Chief, City of Russell Fire Department
2/8/22 – We use these flares all the time, I even had them set up for a landing zone unfortunately it got canceled but they were set up.The best feature is putting them under our traffic cones, drivers definitely pay attention! In 2018 myself and fellow firefighters rented a van and attended the NY state Fire Expo at the Turning stone resort and casino. I saw the pi-lit display and literally grabbed all my guys to show them. These lights are used virtually on all of our motor vehicle accidents. Our department sees these lights as a vital tool to our response.

9/15/21 – We have received our four sets of flares and LOVE them. We did a “show and tell” at a Monroe County (N.Y.) fire police meeting. There were about 12 different fire departments in attendance. All thought your product had great potential in this area. I just wanted to let you know that I think you will get some additional orders for the Rochester and Monroe County area of New York State.
Ken Preston, Captain, North Greece Fire Dept. Fire Police Squad
11/6/20 – We received the new Pi Lit flares two days ago. Turned them one, and they worked perfectly! Thank you again for your help, and all that you guys do! We very much look forward to doing more business with Pi Lit.
Zachary D. Daniels, Firefighter/EMT, City of South Sioux City
