Are your pyrotechnic flares expiring soon? Are you searching for an alternative that is approved by the USCG?

The C-1002 two-color Electronic LED Flare from Sirius Signal fulfills all those safety requirements from the USCG.
Though the Sirius Signal electronic flare was originally created with mariners in mind, there are some very practical alternative uses for the S.O.S. LED light.

Sirius Signal’s Electronic LED Flare…has been approved by the United States Coast Guard for carriage as a legal replacement to pyrotechnic flares for years…Probably the most notable advantage of carrying one of these on your boat or yacht is that they NEVER expire. You buy it one time and done.
When asked, most boaters will admit to either keeping their expired flares on board their boats as backups, or they store them off-site, maybe in a garage or shed. Some boaters, however, have been known to discard these dangerous flares in a regular trash can, or some even throw them overboard into the water… The seeping of toxic chemicals from pyrotechnic flares into the soil or groundwater should concern us all. Perchlorates, for example, are a common ingredient in many pyrotechnic flares…reduces the thyroid’s ability to take up iodine, which reduces thyroid hormone production and results in hypothyroidism
Picture this scenario…
You are going out on your boat or yacht and decide to take your young child with you. Let’s say he/she is about 6 years old. Everything is going well, as it always does…suddenly something happens. It may be a medical emergency putting you out of commission, or maybe a problem with your boat that requires your full and immediate attention. But you need help, and darn it all, your radio is not working or you didn’t teach junior how to use it…So, what’s the alternative? A battery-operated, totally non-explosive, child-safe, family-friendly, nighttime visual distress signal option for your vessel.
