An electrical hazard warning system includes a number of rechargeable electrical hazard markers (14) and a charger/storage unit (10). The hazard markers (14) each include a rechargeable battery (114) that supplies power to a flash tube (120), and have a lightweight, non-skidding, topple-resistant, cone-shaped housing (100, 102, 104, 106) designed for use in all weather conditions. The markers (14) have two switch-selectable brightness levels and are effective in either daylight or darkness. When not deployed, the markers (14) are kept in the charger/storage unit (10), which fits into the trunk of a car and is equipped with multiple charging stations (12). Each station is protected by a circuit breaker (70, 72) and includes a station status light (74, 76). The hazard markers (14) illuminate immediately upon removal from the charger/storage unit (10), and can be placed on the roadway as needed to provide a highly visible warning. |
