FAQs

How long does each flare burn?

Each Orion Safety Road Flare provides approximately 15 minutes of illumination.

Are these flares safe to use in rain?

Yes, the flares feature water-resistant packaging and are designed to operate in all environmental conditions, including rain.

Do I need a lighter or matches to ignite them?

No, the flares have a built-in striking surface. You simply strike the tip against the designated area to ignite them.

What does 'non-perchlorate' mean?

Non-perchlorate means the flare does not contain potassium perchlorate, a common chemical in older flare formulas, making it a safer and more environmentally friendly option.

Can I reuse a flare after it has partially burned?

No, these flares are designed to be self-consuming and cannot be extinguished and relit safely. Once activated, they will burn until depleted.

What should I do with the flare after it has finished burning?

Allow the flare to cool completely. Dispose of the spent flare according to your local regulations for chemical waste.

How should I store these flares?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources and direct sunlight, and keep them in their original packaging until needed.

Troubleshooting

Flare fails to ignite

Ensure the striking surface is dry and intact. Strike firmly and directly on the designated area. Check if the flare is expired, although these are designed for long-term storage.

Flare burns out prematurely

While designed for 15 minutes, factors like extreme wind can affect burn time. Ensure the flare is placed in a sheltered location if possible.

Packaging is damaged

Inspect the flare inside. If the flare itself appears undamaged and dry, it may still be functional. If moisture is present, do not attempt to use it.
