Are these new LED flares legal instead of triangles?

Oh good, I guessed right. (I just completed day 3 of truck driving school. I'm still a bit overwhelmed. It's nice to be 61 years old and be a newbie at something again. dancing.gif

There is a bunch of companies making these LED, flashing orange roadside emergency flares. This is one of them:

As far as I can see, the DOT requires CMV's to carry 3 reflective triangles. Would these LED flashers be legal as an alternative to triangles? They're far more visible, (literally by miles), and likely to slow down oncoming traffic much better than a triangle, but the book says triangles? I'm in CDL school and I have never gone through a DOT inspection. I know some of the inspectors can be quite anal.
