Unlike traditional roadside flares that burn out after a single use, the Wagan Tech FRED Light uses bright LEDs to create highly visible warning signals without an open flame. Its compact size makes it easy to store in a vehicle, RV, boat, backpack, or emergency kit while remaining ready for a wide variety of situations.
The FRED Light offers 10 lighting patterns, including an SOS Morse Code mode approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. Whether you need a flashing warning beacon, steady illumination, or a rescue signal, you can cycle through the available modes with the power button.
The LED array provides 360-degree illumination that can be visible from up to one mile at night. This wide viewing angle helps improve visibility from multiple directions, making it useful for roadside emergencies, traffic control, warning locations, or marking equipment.
The strong magnetic base allows the light to attach to many metal vehicle surfaces, while the integrated extendable hook offers another convenient mounting option. You can hang it from backpacks, saddlebags, or other suitable locations when a magnetic surface isn't available.
About the size of a hockey puck and weighing approximately 0.4 pounds, the Wagan Tech FRED Light fits easily into glove compartments, storage bins, emergency kits, or bike bags without taking up much space.
Built with a polycarbonate and thermoplastic elastomer housing, the FRED Light features an anti-slip casing, magnetic base, shatterproof construction, rainproof IP55 rating, and a floating design. These features make it well suited for outdoor conditions, rainy weather, and marine environments.
The light operates on three AAA batteries and delivers different maximum run times depending on the selected lighting mode. For example, the single-blink mode can operate for up to 38 hours, while the low steady mode can run up to 28 hours.
The Wagan Tech FRED Light is designed for a variety of practical safety applications, including:
Traditional flares provide bright warning signals but rely on combustion and are intended for one-time use. The Wagan Tech FRED Light provides a reusable LED alternative that can be used where open flames may not be appropriate, including around dry vegetation or gasoline. It also offers multiple lighting patterns, magnetic mounting, and weather-resistant construction for added versatility.
If you're looking for a compact emergency warning light that's easy to carry and simple to operate, the FRED Light is an excellent addition to your preparedness equipment.
This may be a good fit if you:
