Powerflare Corporation Announces Support Of California SB 912

MENLO PARK, Calif. — PowerFlare Corporation [www.powerflare.com] supports California State Senate Bill SB 912, legislation that amends laws pertaining to traffic safety and the use of highway flares (fusees).

Old-fashioned "dynamite stick" traffic flares have been a source of accidental fires, explosions, and pollution (from perchlorate and other carcinogenic chemicals). The legislation recognizes electronic beacons as a safe and effective alternative and prohibits the use of burning flares in areas of high fire danger or where water supplies are endangered from perchlorate contamination. The text of the bill can be viewed on http://www.sen.ca.gov.

Invented by a police officer, the PowerFlare Safety Light is a rugged, water-proof alternative to highway fusees. Unlike flares, PowerFlare lights can be clipped onto personnel or objects/hazards and can be wedged inside of standard traffic cones.

Some of the unique features of the PowerFlare Model PF-200 Safety Light include:

  • Extreme ruggedness: can be run over with a fire truck
  • High brightness: visible for 5 miles; can be used to land medical/rescue helicopters
  • Eliminates pollution and fire/explosion danger from old-fashioned flares
  • Ideal for earthquake, hurricane, power blackout, and emergency kits
  • Made in the U.S.A. (in California)


Customers include government agencies, corporations, and individual citizens who are using PowerFlare Safety Lights for safety as well as sport and recreation (hiking, SCUBA, boating) applications.
