On the road, an emergency beacon must be immediately noticeable. A light that is too dim or poorly visible significantly reduces its ability to warn other drivers. The DGT V16 beacon was selected for the power and clarity of its light signal: up to 700 candelas on-axis, a high-intensity yellow flash visible at 360°, and a range of up to approximately 1 kilometer under optimal conditions.
This strong light presence allows an immobilized vehicle to be identified much earlier, day or night, giving approaching drivers more time to slow down and adjust their path. Its robust construction, magnetic base, and IP54 protection make it a beacon designed to be truly used on the road, not just kept in the glove box.
1 Activate the beacon
Take it out of the glove box and press the top button. The powerful LED flash activates immediately.
2 Place it at the highest point
Attach it to the roof or a high metal part of the vehicle using its magnetic base, staying inside the cabin as much as possible.
3 The DGT is automatically notified
The beacon anonymously transmits its location to DGT 3.0. The incident can then be relayed to road signs and the navigation systems of approaching vehicles.
The FlashMate V16 connected beacon sold by Ledpowerlight® is certified by IDIADA under number PC25050254 and is included in the official list of models recognized by the Dirección General de Tráfico. It meets the requirements applicable to connected V16 devices and can be legally used in Spain to signal an immobilized vehicle.
The type approval is held by the manufacturer/applicant, LIMBURG TECHNOLOGY LIMITED. Ledpowerlight® therefore sells an officially certified product; Ledpowerlight® should not be presented as the direct holder of the type approval.
As of January 1, 2026, the connected V16 is the only legal device for pre-signaling immobilized vehicles in Spain.
Connectivity is included in the price for a minimum regulatory period of 12 years, with no additional subscription required. No registration or app is necessary.
