LEDguardian ROAD FLARE Signal V16 IoT

A light that connects

The LEDguardian ROAD FLARE Signal V16 IoT is a regulatory light signaling device that is certified, approved, and connected to the DGT 3.0 network. Its purpose is to alert any road user of a stationary vehicle on the road. Its use will be mandatory in Spain starting January 1, 2026, replacing the current warning triangles.

The 360 ° visible orange, warning light function of the OSRAM LEDguardian ROAD FLARE Signal V16 IoT is visible from a great distance and can provide crucial information about a dangerous situation in road traffic in an emergency. With 10 long-lasting high-power LEDs you can draw attention to yourself by day and night and preventively make other road users aware of a dangerous situation such as a broken-down vehicle in traffic. The compact design allows you to stow the warning light within easy reach in the car and, if required, it can be quickly and easily attached directly to the vehicle roof thanks to the magnetic function.

Frequently asked questions

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
