Eflare Vs Powerflare

[Mike]

Our brigade is looking into purchasing a few of these Powerflares.
I have used the Eflares previously, and am wondering if anyone has any experience with the Powerflares.

How do they perform compared to eflares etc?

Links to both Powerflare and Eflare are below.

I haven't used the power flare, but I like e-flare. E-Flare is an Australian Company! Nice people. Constant research and development.

New Ultra bright Led's being tested. Used in a heap of applications across emergency services.

E-Flare even do a Helicopter landing site kit!!!!

My votes for E-flare.....

have only used the e-flares, and they are definitely a good product.

But i do like the look of those power flares...

I think the rotating setting would be a much better eye catcher than the e-flares with there standard flashing.. also the recharging dock looks fantastic as well.

What is the price differance?

We were given a couple of Powerflares to trial, so far they have worked very well. They are extremely bright and the adjustable flash pattern is pretty cool. You can just chuck them out of the appliance if you want to mark a gate or entrance without any fear of damaging them. They also roll for miles if you get bored at MVA's

I'm not sure on the price but they work fine for us, I would say a combination of Eflares and the Powerflares would be ideal, if I could only have one I'm not sure - it is 50/50. The Eflares are good because you can clip them on things (road cones, people etc) but the Powerflares are good because I reckon they would be pretty much indestructible, apparently you can drive over them with a truck without any damage.

Probably didn't answer your question but I don't think you would be disappointed with the Powerflares, let us know what the prices are - that might help make a decision.

~70 something for the powerflare i think. Never got told the price of the eflare.

I work for the company that is selling the power flares here in SA and I have been able to get a few of these out to brigade's and groups to try and play with in the state.So far the feed back for those brigaes and SES units on main highways is that the powerflares are better as they are able to be seen from a longer distance,they can be run over by a car,truc,tractor and still work.

If your brigade or group is looking at buying these why not give me a call and I can send you one each of the power flare or eflare to play with.....
