SOS LED Electronic Visual Distress with Daytime Distress Flag, and Whistle - CG Approved

Works perfectly and no need for expiring flares now!

Highly Recommended – Safe, Bright, and Reliable SOS Signal! I purchased the Sirius Signal C-1003 SOS LED Distress Signal for my boat, and I’m extremely impressed. The setup was super easy, and I love that it’s USCG-approved, so I know I’m covered for safety requirements. The LED signal is incredibly bright and it stays on for hours without needing a replacement. It’s reassuring to know the device floats and the SOS signal remains above water, just in case. The day flag and whistle are nice bonuses and make me feel prepared for any situation. The product shipped quickly, and the quality feels great right out of the box. If you want a worry-free, eco-friendly flare alternative, I definitely recommend this. I feel much more confident on the water with it onboard!

Seems a great device. Tried it out at home and its very bright. (Hopefully I won't need it when on the water!) Thankfully regs have changed (in Tasmania, Australia) to allow an EVDS instead of flares - no more replacing them every 3 years. The Sirius unit was a good price and represents good value. (bit of no-brainer really to get one when your flares expire). Shipping/delivery was amazingly fast.

Bon choix de signaux urgence approuvés par la garde côte US en remplacement des fusées que l'on doit renouveler au trois ans. Très satisfait.

I purchased the Sirius Signal C-1003 to replace the typical flares required by the USCG regulations for my boat. The typical flares have expiration dates and have to be current in order to be compliant with the regulations. The expired flares then have to be disposed of properly, usually by soaking them in water for 24 hours then putting them in the trash. The Sirius Signal C-1003 only requires that batteries be fresh to operate, it does not expire, the flare operates for a very long duration, it is extremely bright and flashes the Morse Code for SOS when activated. I would definitely recommend this product for any boater.
