EFlare LED Beacon
Whether responding to remote wildfires, navigating road traffic collisions at night, or managing complex multi-agency incidents, lighting solutions must perform reliably in varied and often harsh environments.
Emergency crews need equipment that is quick and simple to deploy, and stands up to the toughest conditions. Ease of operation is key, particularly when time is limited and stress levels are high. That’s when compact, intrinsically safe (ATEX-rated) and IP-rated durable devices such as the Eflare UB range of warning beacons, are essential.
Globally, fire services are using portable LED beacons to quickly mark hazards, enhance team visibility and guide safe movement on the scene. These lights are helping to define safe routes, cordon-off risk zones, and bring clarity to complex incident sites. The use of colour-coded lighting can further improve communication and co-ordination between teams.
Another important use is the ability to mark emergency helicopter landing zones during medevac or wildfire responses. Because our LED beacons are lightweight yet stable in rotor wash when using an Eflare aviation base, they can be rapidly deployed to form a visible perimeter, even in rural and remote areas.
Self-contained and battery-powered, Eflare’s LED beacons can be quickly and securely deployed in any location, thanks to a range of application-specific mounting accessories.
With a patented Fresnel lens, they provide full 360° horizontal visibility, delivering maximum light intensity without compromising the night vision of nearby personnel, while also ensuring visibility from greater distances. Simple controls are designed for ease of use, even with gloved hands, an essential feature in high-pressure situations.
With their intrinsic safety rating, Eflare beacons can be safely used in environments where flammable fuels, gases, or chemical hazards are present, making them especially valuable in scenarios where conventional lighting might pose a risk.
Many fire services worldwide now regard Eflare’s LED beacons as standard equipment. Improved scene awareness, safer movement within defined perimeters, and more effective coordination, without the distraction of managing complex lighting setups, are seen as the biggest benefits. Once deployed, the beacons operate unattended, allowing responders to focus on their core responsibilities.
In rural settings, they provide critical visibility where infrastructure is lacking. In urban environments, they assist with traffic control and the clear demarcation of operational zones, enhancing safety for both first responders and the public.
Making emergency service workers and the public aware of potential hazards is a crucial component of fire and emergency response safety. Widely used in Canada by organisations like the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) and TTC (Toronto Transit Commission), Eflare’s LED beacons provide a reliable, adaptable, and intrinsically safe lighting solution that meets the varied demands of fire service operations. Whether they’re enhancing visibility during routine call-outs or defining landing zones in remote terrain, these beacons help crews work more safely, efficiently, and effectively.
