I have no numbers, but the flares are apparently pretty easy to see from space:

And I've heard from first-hand reports that the amount of heat and light being thrown off by flares is staggering. Like, feel-it-from-a-hundred-yards-away hot. (Of course, I'm just some guy on the internet -- do your own research, grain of salt, and all that).
