C-1003 SOS Distress Light, Flag & Whistle

No More Flares!
Complete compliance kit! Fulfills USCG Night, Day, and audible distress signal requirements.
The new and improved eVDSD SOS C-1003 Beacon is redesigned from the Original Alternative to Pyrotechnic Flares, the wildly successful model C-1001 (now discontinued).
Powered by a high-performance, programmable microprocessor controlling an SOS flash pattern signal flashed through an even brighter and more potent LED, the Sirius Signal SOS C-1003 model is both family-safe and easy to use. Optical design provides an omnidirectional light display for surface rescue craft and a vertical beam visible to aircraft flying overhead. Improved flotation now even higher off the water, is visible up to 10 nautical miles, and the SOS C-1003’s beam lasts for hours compared to the minutes-long lifespan of traditional pyrotechnic distress.
