Electronic hazard warning light
Different from a conventional distress flare, a distress flare is a necessary piece of safety equipment on a boat. It is part of the safety equipment required for navigation beyond the 300-meter limit. It attaches to lifejackets and helps rescue services to locate a shipwrecked person.
The distress light is also very useful in contexts other than pleasure boating or sea fishing. They are also indispensable for kitesurfing, windsurfing, dinghy sailing... and will be of great use when hiking or mountaineering.

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. |
