Basic types of flares As mentioned above, three basic types of flares can be distinguished. - Marine flare – a special type of flare intended for use at sea or along the coast. It is characterized by intense smoke emission and bright light, which improves visibility in difficult weather conditions. It serves as a navigational or distress signal. - Stadium flare – used during sports events at stadiums or other sports venues. It is usually larger than other types of pyrotechnics and has a longer burn time. Its main purpose is to create intense light and colorful smoke, adding an impressive visual effect during sporting events. - Bang flare – a special type of flare designed for blank-firing pistols. Unlike other such products, its main purpose is to generate sound, which can be used for signaling purposes such as alarm signaling, emergency signaling, or starting signals, for example during races. How long do flares burn? Fan or marine flares burn for about 60–70 seconds. Pistol bang flares, since their purpose is somewhat different, emit a loud sound rather than light and smoke.
