Smart Sequential Road Flares
Directional warning lights that guide drivers before they reach the hazard.
Warning should do more than flash. It should guide
A moving pattern of light points drivers exactly where to go — so they slow earlier, merge sooner, and give crews room to work.
Product Videos
pi-lit builds smart safety devices that help crews warn earlier, guide drivers clearly, and monitor road assets from the cloud.
Key Benefits
Shop The ProductFast setup
Fast to deploy, easy to see, and built to guide drivers safely around roadside hazards.
Clear direction
Synchronized flashing guides traffic around hazards.
Built for the road
Durable, portable, and weather-ready.
Reusable, not disposable
Rechargeable and ready for years. No single-use restocking.
Warns drivers ahead
With piLINK or the pi-lit app, flare locations broadcast to navigation apps before drivers reach the scene.
Warning should solve more than visibility
pi-lit helps crews set up a warning line fast, shows drivers the path around the scene, and extends the warning beyond the flare line.
Crews are exposed while they set up in live traffic
Deploys in under 60 seconds. Runs 20+ hours. Set it once and stay out of the lane until the closure ends.
Every minute at a crash scene raises the risk of a second crash
The sequence reads as a moving arrow, so approaching drivers know which way to go from the moment the flares are down.
Drivers can’t see a scene over a hill or around a curve
Pair your flares with piLINK or the pi-lit app, and deployed flare locations can reach navigation apps before drivers arrive at the flare line.
The right power setup for how often you deploy
Both styles deliver the same sequential guidance. Choose based on deployment frequency and how your team manages power.

MAX is a setting you turn on. Bench-tested at room temperature; cold weather shortens run time.
- Recharge time
- 6 hours from a completely depleted battery
- Charging
- Charge every flare at once in the dual-purpose carrying case
- Battery check
- Check battery status with the press of a button
- Rapid Deployment System (RDS™)
- Flares turn on automatically when lifted from the case. No buttons, so winter gloves are no problem.
- Automatic sync
- Flares synchronize on their own. No programming, no pre-numbering: turn on and deploy.
- Pair mode
- Synchronize a single set or several sets together
- Flash patterns
- 6 patterns: 4 sequential, 1 simultaneous, and 1 steady-burn
- Reverse sequence
- Reverse the sequence direction with a button press, so crews can deploy walking with or against traffic
- Gravity-controlled light
- A tilt sensor automatically aims the light output at approaching drivers
- Saved settings
- Preferred pattern, deployment order, tilt sensor, LED mode, and more are saved for the next deployment
