Has anyone bought one of these :- "Magnetic Heavy Duty LED Warning Light Flare Amber/Orange Emergency Light" The spec looks impressive and with its long life could survive in the boot without worrying about it running out of volts. It seems a better item than a bulky Kojak type plug in / slap on the roof models of old. I am considering buying one to add to my emergency kit especially after my recent experience at night on an unlit part of the M3. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150893161547?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Reply to this message | Report message

Mmmm. Seems like something that might be useful on a bike. Seven ounces eh. Wonder where it could be stashed. Reply to this message | Report message

You are a sucker for gadgets aren't you? My solution would be to light 8 cigs at once, place them in the gaps between my fingers and wave my arms about. This would have much the same effect while introducing a little light excercise and a method of keeping warm if the engine wasn't functioning. If I still smoked that is.

My unit has arrived and I am quite impressed with it. It is quite bright in daylight so it will be interesting to see its output when it gets dark. Ten modes of operation including S O S. Now all I have to remember is the switch position is at "ten to the hour"and which of the modes I want :-). Reply to this message | Report message

Now Henry, you are clearly a prudent man in buying such a thing, but may we ask, do you really think a Jaaaaaguaaaar needs one? One would imagine, on buying such a car, that if it had a moment of inoperation one would simply hail a cab and instruct a man to deal with the car? :-)) Reply to this message | Report message

Mine was stashed in the "parcel box" when I looked tonight. Solid bit of kit. Light enough to carry on the bike in a cubby hole for added visibility "just in case" wonder if the do a blue one for getting through traffic on a Friday afternoon :-O Reply to this message | Report message

>>wonder if the do a blue one >> The advert says "ONLY AVAILABLE IN ORANGE THE MOMENT. " so watch that space :-) I now find there is a rechargeable version ( !2v or 240V ) but price is £24.90 but our unit seems to work for so long per battery. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140702516856?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Reply to this message | Report message

You are of course correct however I have been advised that from the hard shoulder of motorways they do not respond to instructions using the time honoured flick of the wrist / regal wave. As my unit is able to send S.O.S in morse code, a good fella will recognise my distress and do the proper thing. I suspect only certain citizens will recognise my code and I will get appropriate treatment. Even the AA no longer salute. Reply to this message | Report message

>> No, course not. Filthy habit. ... or it would be if I still smoked, he said longingly... heh heh ... I wonder how many of those lists of 100 things to do before you die include an item: get two or three addictions and grapple with them (or not as the case may be) for the rest of your life... They don't know they're born do they Humph, these people whose bodies have always been temples? (Cough! Hawk! Gasp!) (pours another large one) :o}o}o} Reply to this message | Report message
