Frequently asked questions

What is a connected V16 warning light?

A connected V16 warning light is a road safety device designed to replace traditional warning triangles. It emits a flashing amber light to alert other drivers of a stationary vehicle on the road. Additionally, it features a sim card, allowing it to transmit the vehicle’s exact location to traffic authorities in real-time. This feature enhances safety by providing precise location data, which can be crucial in emergency situations.

Is the LEDguardian ROAD FLARE Signal V16 IoT mandatory?

The connected V16 lights are currently a legal replacement for hazard warning triangles and will become mandatory on January 1, 2026 in Spain.

When I am traveling to Spain, do I also need to carry a connected V16 warning light?

Nothing will change for tourists travelling to Spain in their own vehicle. The new regulation only affects vehicles registered in Spain. However, travelling in Spain in hire cars are affected by the new compulsory warning light.

Is the LEDguardian ROAD FLARE Signal V16 IoT approved for road use in other countries?

No. The warning light is only approved for road use in Spain for now.

Can I use the warning light while driving?

No, you are not allowed to use the connected warning light while driving. Hazard warning lights, including the V16 IoT, are intended for use when your vehicle is stationary to alert other drivers of a hazard or obstruction.

Is it safer than a warning triangle?

The LEDguardian ROAD FLARE Signal V16 IoT is approved and recommended by the General Directorate of Traffic. Thanks to its 360° flashing amber light it is visible from a great distance and will notify the rest of the drivers in advance. In addition, since the warning light can be installed without the driver needing to leave the vehicle, it enhances safety and convenience. It aims to avoid fatal collisions that can occur when drivers exit their vehicles to place or remove emergency triangles after an accident.

If I switch on the warning light, will an emergency call be sent directly to the police or ambulance?

No, switching on the device does not replace calling the police, ambulance or other authorities.

Where is the best place to place it on a car?

The optimal placement for the warning light is on the roof of your car at the highest possible point. This ensures maximum visibility from all directions, especially in low-light conditions or during adverse weather. If roof placement is not possible (e.g. in case of glass roofs), possible positions would be on the chassis arch or on the driver’s door panel.
