Innovative travel device could save your life

"FlareSafe" combines a smoke detector with an emergency flashlight and anticrime siren

OTTAWA, Ontario -- Developed in the UK by FlareBrands Limited, FlareSafe is an innovative 3-in-1 travel safety device that combines an optical smoke detector, a powerful LED flashlight, and a personal sonic alarm. Anyone planning a trip that includes spending a few nights in bed and breakfasts, hostels, boats or less-than-glamorous hotels should make sure to pack a FlareSafe.

FlareSafe's independently tested, self-calibrating smoke alarm has a 110-db siren that will jolt you awake at the first waft of smoke. The flashlight turns on automatically to the full-beam setting, making it easy to grab the unit and help you get out of the building.

The personal alarm uses the same 110-db alarm to create a piercing sonic flare that will discourage attackers and get instant attention. At the same time the flashlight automatically turns on to strobe mode, providing both a visual and audible signal of distress to others.

The LED flashlight has three working settings: at full-beam the FlareSafe produces a 20 meter beam for 10 hours; at half-beam it is perfect for 50 hours of reading; and in SOS strobe mode it runs for 100 hours visible from up to two kilometers.

FlareSafe was developed as a response to a tragic fire in July 2000 at Childers hostel in Australia, which claimed the lives of 15 young travelers.

FlareSafe is robust, water-resistant and made of military-grade plastics. It comes complete with batteries, a lanyard and a one-year guarantee. FlareSafe weighs about as much as a paperback and packs in the latest technology to ensure you are carrying the most reliable travel safety device available.

This innovative, handheld product has been distributed in Europe for the past few years and is now available in the United States and Canada through KCL Distribution.

FlareSafe is currently available from these fine retailers:
