SIRIUS SIGNAL C-1002

It might be time to finally ditch your old school flares. The Sirius Signal C-1002 two-color electronic Visual Distress Device (eVDSD) is the world’s first marine safety electronic flare to meet the new USCG safety standard. Incorporating 13 LEDs, the C-1002 is five times brighter than any approved device on the market. The C-1002 includes the Sirius Signal App for iOS and Android cell phones, allowing users to perform system checkups or provide instantaneous SOS notifications and location to first responders, towing services, and other designated contacts. With a full charge, the C-1002 will provide six hours of runtime, four hours more than is currently required. The US Coast Guard Compliance Kit includes the light, a flag, whistle, and batteries.
