A reusable safety warning device. A plurality of reflective strips of flexible material are adapted to protrude outwardly from an end of an elongate cylindrical body member and droop down to form a pompon-like reflector. A battery-powered light source is disposed within the reflector to radiate light which is reflected off of the flexible strips so that the device resembles a burning incendiary flare. Means are provided for retracting the reflective strips and light source inside the elongate body for storage of the device, and the device is provided with a pair of retractable legs for supporting the reflector end of the body above a surface when in use.
