Electronic hazard warning light

BE SEEN FROM AFAR:

To be seen from a distance, day or night, so as to be spotted as quickly as possible by the emergency services: that's the mission of the electronic distress light. To be part of your safety equipment, the distress light must meet the requirements of SOLAS recommendations. It complements your pyrotechnic system (flares or parachute rocket propelled into the sky) and your personal buoyancy equipment (lifejacket, lifebuoys, life raft, etc.).

In this category, you'll find lighting devices capable of360° illumination, up to 7 nautical miles. Depending on the model, they can be automatically activated on contact with the water, emit fixed or strobe (flashing) distress signals, and even an SOS signal.

In addition to the legal requirement for sailboats and motorboats, distress flares are also mandatory for all craft beyond 300 meters. Kitesurfers, SUP sailors, windsurfers, wingfoil sailors, sea kayakers and jet-skiers must also be equipped.

The long autonomy of these tracking systems means they can be used forlong hours.

Outdoor sports enthusiasts such as mountaineers and hikers will find a reliable, compact and lightweight safety system, enabling them to remain visible in the event of rescue operations. With distress lights, there's no need for flares or smoke parachutes. You can, of course, supplement these lamps with floating cyalume sticks for dispersal. The more you're seen, the better your chances of being rescued.

DISTRESS LIGHTS AT COMPTOIR NAUTIQUE :

Once again, even though regulations strictly govern signaling devices aboard our boats, your safety is our first and foremost concern.

That's why we're presenting you with electronic accessories whose reliability is beyond question. While flares, flare guns and smoke generators are all tried-and-tested products, the big advantage of flares lies in their ability to be used for long hours, without fire or short-lived pyrotechnic signals. When a rocket has dissipated its red signal, what remains is the light of your electronic distress signal, visible from several miles away.

Asnavigation and boating are our advisors' main fields of expertise, they will be able to support you, whatever the product, and answer any questions you may have concerning prices, stock or shipping. Don't hesitate to contact us by e-mail or telephone.
