Abstract: A self-contained hazard marker which is easily deployed and highly visible. The hazard marker utilized an elevated collapsible illumination device which utilizes LEDs mounted to a flexible printed circuit board in a fashion that allows the circuit board to be formed into a tubular shape with the LEDs on the outer surface of the tube in a fashion that disperses the light in a 360 degree pattern. These LEDs can be illuminated in various patterns thereby producing various effects. They can produce a rotating light effect, a blinking light effect, a strobe effect and a simulated flare. The elevated illumination device is also collapsible into the body (protection chamber) of the marker in the event a vehicle is driven over the marker. The marker has a ramp shape to it that starts at ground level and extends to the top of the unit. This shape inherently prevents the unit from lateral movement when impacted.
