What is in the box
  • The beacon with its magnetic base and its cigarette lighter cable.
How to use it safely
  • Blue is reserved for priority emergency vehicles — police, fire, ambulance. On a private vehicle it is prohibited on the public road.
  • Do not drive at speed with a magnetic beacon on the roof: it is intended for a stopped or slow-moving vehicle.
  • Clean the base and the roof before fitting: a piece of grit trapped under the magnet scratches the paint.
Check before you buy
  • Check that your roof is steel: the magnetic base holds on neither aluminium, nor composite, nor a glass sunroof panel.
  • Choose the colour according to the actual use — amber suits almost every case.
  • Check the length of the coiled cable to your cigarette lighter, with the door shut on the cable.

Description

Being seen when you are stopped

A vehicle stopped on the hard shoulder, a recovery on a track, an agricultural convoy, a temporary works site: the only thing that protects you is being seen early. A warning triangle is visible at fifty metres; a beacon is visible well before that, and above all at night or in the rain.

Magnetic, so temporary

The magnetic base holds on a steel roof or bonnet and comes off by hand. Nothing to drill, nothing to glue. That is what makes it usable on a private vehicle you do not want to modify.

LEDs, not a rotating bulb

Older models spin a mirror in front of a bulb: it heats up, it breaks, it draws current. Here the LEDs flash in several patterns; the unit does not heat up and the draw stays compatible with an engine switched off for a while.

What the law says

In France, the blue is reserved for priority emergency vehicles — police, fire, ambulance. On a private vehicle it is prohibited on the public road. Amber is the colour for maintenance, recovery, agricultural and works vehicles: it is the one to take in almost every case. White and red are used on private land, for event marshalling or as work lighting.

Worth knowing

  • 12 V allume-cigare, coiled cable.
  • Magnetic base — it will not hold on an aluminium roof, a composite one or a glass sunroof panel.
  • Plusieurs modes of flashing at the button.
  • Free shipping within mainland France, with no minimum order.
  • 14 days to change your mind, returns accepted with no reason required.

When it earns its place

The hard shoulder

A warning triangle is visible at fifty metres. A beacon is visible well before that, and above all at night or in the rain.

Recovery on a track

Marking a stopped vehicle where nobody expects to find one.

The agricultural convoy or the works site

Amber is precisely the colour for maintenance, agricultural and works vehicles.

The vehicle you do not want to modify

Magnetic, it comes off in two seconds: nothing to drill on a private car.

Questions we are asked about this product

Am I allowed to use it?

It depends on the colour. Blue is reserved for priority emergency vehicles — police, fire, ambulance — and prohibited on the public road for a private individual. Amber is the colour for maintenance, recovery, agricultural and works vehicles: it is the one to take in almost every case. White and red are used on private land or for event marshalling.

Will it hold on my roof?

On a steel roof or bonnet, yes. The magnetic base holds on neither aluminium, nor composite, nor a glass sunroof panel: check before ordering.

Can I leave it on with the engine off?

For a while, yes: LEDs draw little current, unlike the old models with a bulb and a spinning mirror. Over a long period, keep an eye on your battery all the same.

Can you drive with it?

It is intended for a stopped or slow-moving vehicle. At speed, a magnetic beacon has no business on a roof.

Does it scratch the paint?

Not in itself, but clean the base and the roof before fitting it: it is a piece of grit trapped under the magnet that scratches.
