What Does iZonus Mean?
Answer: iZonus ® comes from the words “EyesOnUs”
We create better safety tools to help distracted drivers be more aware of Officers, First Responders, those working on our roadways, AND those of us who unfortunately experience breakdowns from time to time. We want everyone to have the best chance possible of returning home safely to their families.
Payoff: Combustible Flares vs Pro Series
Question: How much cost savings over Fusees (combustible flares)
Answer: We will use freeway fatality accidents as a case scenario
- Typical hours on Scene: 3-4 (we will use only 1 hour in our comparison calculation)
- Number of fusees deployed at one time to properly take a lane: 15+
- Number of fusees restarts per hour: 3
- Approximate cost of a fusee with wire stand, (shipping not included, which is becoming very expensive for them) $2.00 -$2.50 each
- Cost of combustible flares for a 1-hour accident with proper flaring and in use during the entire 1-hour accident: $90-$110
- Based on these numbers, a Hard Case set of 9 Pro Series lights @ $385 would pay off in +- 3.5 hours or 3.5 accidents. How many accidents does your agency respond to each month?
What is the problem with this calculation? The problem is, most agencies do not keep the lane closure lighted up when the flares burn out, and then they have cars encroach on their accident scene, putting the First Responders and the Public in danger. To properly keep the lane closure lit up with burning flares during the entirety of the accident would be astronomically more expensive than most agencies can afford.
What is the Power Source?
Answer: Each of the Pro Series lights operates with 3 AA batteries.
Very simple to change and inexpensive to operate. You can use AA rechargeable batteries if you prefer.
WHY NOT rechargeable systems? We thought of that and evaluated it in great depth and what we discovered from those using rechargeable systems is that they were discouraged with them because the lights were notorious for not being charged when they needed them (for a number of reasons; forget to plug in, jiggle loose, bad connection, not enough recharge time between uses, etc.). The runtime is limited compared to alkaline or lithium batteries and the eventual replacement of the rechargeable batteries can be costly. We recently sold several of our lights to a Sheriff that has been using a rechargeable system (considerably more expensive than ours) and he said that when fully charged, some of them run for 3 minutes and some for maybe 5 minutes before they die.
WHAT IS THE BATTERY LIFE OF THE PRO SERIES LIGHT?
Answer: Approximate runtime of the Pro Series light (3x AA BATTERIES) is between 70-100 hours +- depending on color combinations and flashing patterns.
Light brightness diminishes with runtime. Certain colors of lights require more power to generate the same amount of light output. Recommend considering battery change 36-48 hours for optimum brightness. Battery quality and temperature can make a difference in runtime.
A life lost or injured isn't worth a few 20 cent batteries. Safety has a price and it's worth every penny, just ask your own family.
Are The Lights Waterproof?
Answer: Water Resistant, but not Waterproof.
The lights are designed to withstand water in a heavy rainstorm but are not designed to be submerged in water for any length of time. However, if you have a water-tight Ziploc style bag they would be fine underwater. The lights have actually been used in this manner, up to 33 feet for 20 minutes, and worked very well for two divers to locate each other and the scene.
Are The Pro Series Lights Durable?
Answer: Yes. The lights are made with Polycarbonate material.
One of our videos shows the lights being run over. However, the lights are not designed to be tank proof and we don’t recommend running over them. Being run over is not a normal operating condition as described in the warranty. This video was submitted to us, unsolicited, by some officers that were testing out the lights. https://vimeo.com/692067278
HOW FAR AWAY CAN THE LIGHTS BE SEEN?
Answer: The lights are quite bright although not blindingly bright as other competitive products claim. The lights can be seen from over a mile away under normal night-time conditions and they can be seen from 10 miles away at night-time under night vision goggles from the air.
The lights are bright because of the high number of LED's. Certain competitor lights have 16 LED's that rotate in different patterns around the entire light, the Pro Series lights have 16 LED's in the front, to face oncoming traffic, plus 8 LED's in the rear.
For the safety of the First Responders when they are on an accident sce, and for the safety of the public when they are broken down, we developed this highly visible light to help protect them and to give advanced notice to oncoming traffic.
What Is The Purpose Of The White Light?
Answer: The white light is a unique feature of the Pro Series and has many purposes:
- Illuminates the traffic scene
- Illuminates the traffic cone pattern
- Illuminates the personnel on the scene
- Illuminates investigation/crime scenes
- Illuminates the area of a person changing a tire or working on a broken-down vehicle
- The white light can also be rotated toward oncoming traffic to add an additional flashing color to the flashing color combination. Instead of all red or all amber, you might want a white light in the mix to help with the visibility of lane closures or accident scenes. Since front and rear lights are operated separately by the two buttons on top, this makes it very easy to accomplish.
Can I Purchase The Lights In Any Color?
Answer: Yes. However, the use of different color lights is a different thing.
The law does not prohibit the purchase of police-style or police-colored lights (primarily blue) but using any type or color of light to impersonate law enforcement is illegal. We recommend that if you intend to use blue colored lights, especially if attached to your vehicle, outside your private residence or private property, that you confirm your state’s policy regarding the use of blue flashing lights or any color of flashing light. You might try calling your State Highway Patrol if you are concerned.
What Are Some Of The Industry Uses For The Pro Series Safety
Answer:
- Police - accident scenes, road closures, detours, crime scene investigation photos/video, DUI checkpoints.
- Fire Fighters - leave lights as breadcrumbs as they enter smoke-filled structures to help them find their way to the exit.
- Traffic Control - Events and related activities where large numbers of people are exiting a forum.
- Long Haul Transportation - Lights can be used in conjunction with triangles, but can be seen much further away than triangles. We suggest putting the Pro Series lights out first since they can be seen from a greater distance and then following up with the triangles within 10 minutes as per code. "It's CHEAPER to mitigate than to Litigate". If a set of good quality lights can help to avoid an accident, then it's certainly worth considering. And, we don't take it lightly that your money is hard-earned but consider the consequences of a stalled vehicle roadside accident.
- Utility Companies - for identifying power lines down or gas leaks where roadways must be shut down or detoured. Used also to warn traffic of construction-related activity on the roadways.
- Road Construction Companies - used to warn oncoming traffic of road construction crews or detours ahead and to provide an adequate safety barrier for protection against distracted drivers. It's better to have a car hit a traffic cone and light, that has been set out at a safe distance to provide a proper safety barrier than it is for the car to hit the crew.
- Departments of Transportation - used during short-term temporary road construction projects or other construction projects.
- FEMA/Coast Guard- for use in severe weather conditions where power is out. Used to block off roads where bridges or roads are no longer travel-able, or power lines are down and laying in the roadway.
- Crossing Guards - for use in school crossing zones on recommended 28-inch cones.
