If you still haven’t bought a V16 beacon, El Corte Inglés is offering the Onexus-Geo for just 39.99 euros, down from 49.99 euros.

It operates on an included battery and possesses a magnetic fixative for easy placement atop your vehicle. Depending on the brand, it provides up to 2 hours of autonomy. Its robust design allows it to withstand rain, snow, and dust, ensuring visibility from up to 1 kilometer, and the battery can be replaced without any tools.
