LED Marine Flare | Electric Distress Light CFR
In 2015, the eCFR update to 175.130 revolutionized boating safety by officially allowing electronic visual distress signals (eVDSDs) as a replacement for traditional boat flares. This significant regulation change, issued by the U.S. Coast Guard, acknowledged the advantages of electronic distress signals, including their reusability, longer lifespan, and eco-friendliness. Unlike conventional flares, which pose environmental hazards and require frequent replacement, electronic flares like the C-1002 from Sirius Signal meet safety requirements while offering a more sustainable solution for mariners.
