Sirius Signal C-1003 SOS LED Distress Signal - Electronic Flare Replacement, USCG Approved, Includes Daytime Flag & Whistle

Bought this as an alternative for flares. I usually only fish on rivers but figured it'd be nice to have something heavy duty. The design is fairly simple which makes it pretty nice and easy to use. Just twist the top and your good to go, and the flotation ring around the light makes it perfect in case you drop it or knock it into the water on accident. The only cons I have is there isnt much directions on how to use the flag ie: orientation to which it should be displayed, as well as it not having a storage option. The mounting bracket looks nice and is great to have it out and ready to use if needed but it'd be cool to have a water tight box for it be stored in as well as the flag and whistle. Overall I would definitely reccomend this. And have extra c-cell battery's on hand as a just in case

Over the last 15 years of boating, I have bought a pile of flares that then expire. Like most of you, I have a pile of them because they are probably still good, so we hold on to them. You can carry expired ones, but you have to have current ones to be in compliance.I think I paid about $75 for this flare replacement. About the cost of two sets of flares and it doesn't expire. I keep it in my boat bag along with extra batteries in a ziplock. I'm just sorry I had to buy flares for 15 years before learning about this.

Fast same day delivery. Great value as this USCG approved device has a Lifetime Warranty, vs 3 years for meteor and flares. No more last minute delays to go to the store to replace these dangerous devices.Convenient and simple to use. Comes with a daytime distress flag and whistle. It floats and appears well built for the boating environment. Recommend keeping 3 extra batteries on board. My hope is I never have to use it.I am well pleased with the product.

This is great. No Need To worry about the expensive flares expiring. Also flashes SOS.

As advertised, the light is easy to use. It was not entirely clear from the description, but it also came with the distress flag that is necessary for emergency situations. Although seemingly a bit pricey, this is a high-quality product.

The product arrived well-packaged with batteries included. I tested it—WOW! The first flash was intense, and I saw spots for minutes.As with any battery device, don’t store it with batteries installed to avoid leakage. Use quality name-brand alkalines.I like that it replaces traditional flares—no fire hazard if you're offshore.

Signal is bright and can be seen for miles. Required on boats longer than 16'. Much cheaper than flares and safer. Flares only good for 42 months but this signal never needs replacing. Kit also comes with distress flag and whistle.

Very nice design and easy to use. Great value for upur money. Say good bye to replacing flares every few years!
