Abstract
A road flare including a two-sided panel, each side containing a grid of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In a preferred embodiment one side would include typical white or standard colored LEDs and the other side would include red or other color LED. Each panel has several modes of lighting, which is selectable via a power switch or other switch. The different modes include solid lights, blinking lights, off, or a combination thereof. For example, the red side of the panel may be set to blinking or flashing, while the white side of the panel could be constantly lit. This creates a flashing hazard strobe facing away from a vehicle to warn oncoming vehicles, and a solid white light source aimed towards the vehicle to assist with repairs or other tasks.
