Smarter Safety for Your Crew

Videos of Smart Flare Deployments

Improve Safety and FSMCA Compliance

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.

  • Establish a work zone quickly and move traffic around your crews
  • Alerts motorist further upstream by active flash moving sequence
  • No fire danger; prevent avoidable and costly fire damage
  • Quick return on investment with enhanced safety
  • No toxic or harmful fumes
  • Unlike flame flares, can be used for chemical or fuel spills

Quick ROI

Lighting a fusee flare is like tearing a $2 bill in a cold shower (Seems like it is always raining when deploying flares). The Smart Sequential Flare cost less than $0.90 a deployment and it keeps giving! Learn more on how to save your department money.

Eversource Energy Invests in Innovation

Eversource is utilizing pi-lit smart sequential road flares and piLINKs to enhance roadside safety for its crews and the public. These compact devices—shaped like square hockey pucks—offer several key benefits:

Increased visibility: The flares light up in a sequential pattern, creating a visual effect similar to an airport runway. This guides drivers safely around work zones, especially in low-visibility conditions.

Real-time driver alerts: They emit signals that integrate with navigation apps like Google Maps and Waze, warning drivers of upcoming hazards or work areas.

Flexible deployment: Crews can easily place them inside or on top of cones in various configurations, making setup quick and adaptable to different road conditions.

By using these flares, Eversource aims to add a crucial layer of safety for their line crews, responding to emergencies like downed wires or trees—often in challenging weather.

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!

Store and Charge your Smart Sequential Flares in Style
