4 Reasons You Should Always Keep SnapLights in Your Car

Emergencies happen when we least expect them – at home, at work, or on the road – so it’s important to be prepared for these occurrences.

Roadside emergencies do not always happen during daylight hours, which can make an already taxing situation stressful. Whether you’re dealing with a flat tire, engine problems, or a dead battery, keeping Cyalume’s SnapLights and SnapLight flares in your car will keep you prepared during the unexpected.

1. Helps When Searching for Important Documents & Tools
Most smart phones have flashlights built in; however, you’ll want to conserve your battery if you’re waiting for a tow truck, a relative or friend, or even if you’re fixing the emergency issue yourself. Keeping a Cyalume SnapLight in your car will help conserve your phone battery while also leaving it open for calls or texts. You’ll be able to search for your insurance paperwork, car manual, as well as any necessary tools you’ll need to get back on the road.

2. Safer Than a Road Flare
Cyalume’s industrial flare alternative is safer and more reliable than a road flare. Cyalume’s non-flammable SnapLight is non-heat generated and waterproof. They are also safer than pyrotechnic flares, so you can rest easy knowing they are safe to keep in your vehicle. Cyalume’s flare alternative SnapLights also come with a metal bipod stand to prevent them in place as you stand them on the side of the road.

3. No Batteries Required
Unlike a flashlight, Cyalume’s SnapLights do not require batteries to operate. Cyalume’s industrial flare alternative also offers up to two hours of intense, read light in any condition.

4. Meets Department of Transportation Hazard Standards
Because Cyalume’s products meet the Department of Transportation Hazard Standards, you’ll be using the preferred signaling device for departments across the country.
