Boaters SOS eVDS, USCG compliant Electronic Flare/Distress Light and/or signal kit
Introducing the fifth generation of the USCG compliant electronic SOS light, featuring the most advanced and brightest LED technology. This product is manufactured by a highly experienced company that has produced and sold over 100,000 USCG flare replacement lights. Drawing on 30 years of expertise in military and diving strobe designs, this is the only electronic flare currently produced in the United States.
This comprehensive distress signal compliance kit meets all requirements for Night, Day, and Audible distress signals. It offers a cost-effective solution by eliminating the need for traditional flares, as it has no expiration date and requires only a one-time purchase. Ensure compliance with the Tektite SOSeFlare, which is sufficient for an entire boat. It is ready to use immediately upon purchase, with batteries included. For vessels under 16 feet, including kayaks and jet skis, carrying a Night Visual Distress Signal is mandatory, making the Tektite SOSeFlare the optimal choice for small boats. It is safe for families and user-friendly, as it does not involve any burning flame. Its compact and lightweight design makes it suitable for various outdoor emergency situations, including backpacking, hunting, backcountry skiing, kayaking, private aviation, fishing, personal flotation device (PFD) use, snorkeling, man overboard scenarios, and SCUBA diving.
