The Mactronic X-FLARE is a professional-grade set of six rechargeable signal discs designed for the most demanding safety and rescue environments. Each disc is housed in a rugged, rubberised shell that is IP67 dust- and waterproof, drop resistant to 5 m and crush resistant, and even floats on water – making it suitable for roadside incidents, flood zones and landing-site marking.
A key advantage of the X-FLARE system is its automatic activation and synchronization. Simply remove the discs from the magnetic charging case and place them on the scene; they power on automatically, link together via radio and run in perfectly synchronised patterns – with the option to synchronise up to 48 discs (8 sets) for large scenes.
The discs offer six light modes and three LED colours (red, blue, amber), allowing you to adapt signalling to traffic, rescue, police or military SOPs. Long runtimes – up to 80 h in single blink mode – ensure extended operations without having to constantly recharge. The transport case doubles as a charging station, with 230 V and 12 V chargers included for station and vehicle use.
X-FLARE is an excellent choice for fire services, EMS, police, military, technical rescue, road crews, airport or helipad teams and any professional who needs fast, clear and robust visual marking in high-risk environments.
Key benefits & USP’s
- Auto-start & auto-sync: discs activate and synchronise automatically when removed from the charging case – no need to switch and set each disc separately.
- Up to 48 synchronised discs: multiple sets can be linked to create coherent, large-scale signalling for extensive scenes or work zones.
- 6 light modes, 3 LED colours (red / blue / amber): adjust visibility, meaning and priority according to SOP and scenario.
- Extreme durability: IP67 rating, 5 m drop resistance, crush resistance and ability to float on water.
- All-in-one charging case: rugged transport case that also works as a charging station, with 230 V and 12 V chargers included.
- Professional applications: engineered for emergency services, road safety, landing-zone marking and large work areas.

Pros & Cons
Pros
- Fully automatic activation and synchronization – very fast, low-error deployment under stress.
- 6 light modes and 3 LED colours (including blue and amber) for versatile signalling across rescue, police and military tasks.
- Highly durable: IP67, 5 m drop resistance, crush resistant and floats – suitable for harsh environments and wet conditions.
- Long runtimes (up to 80 h in single blink) support prolonged operations without frequent recharging.
- Charging case with 230 V and 12 V inputs integrates cleanly into vehicle and station equipment.
- Scalable system – synchronisation of up to 48 discs offers coverage for large scenes, airfields or training ranges.
Cons
- Professional price point compared to single-use flares or basic warning lights.
- Discs and case are relatively bulky compared to simple beacons – best suited for vehicles and equipment caches, not pocket EDC.
- Rechargeable internal batteries require periodic cycling; long-term fleets should manage charging schedules and battery health.
