ACR ResQFlare Electronic Distress E-Flare and Flag - USCG Approved Alternative to Pyrotechnic Flares
Category: orion flares marine
The new ACR ResQFlare with Distress Flag is a replacement for vessels required to carry USCG flares. ResQFlare and the included Distress Flag provide a safe substitute for pyrotechnic flares, offering a 360-degree visible bright SOS strobe light that can be seen over 6 miles away. The device features user-replaceable C-cell alkaline batteries (not included) and has an operational life of over 20 hours at 75 candela, more than three times the USCG requirement.
Certified under USCG 161.013 as a Nighttime Visual Distress Signal and USCG 160.072 as a Daytime Visual Distress Signal, the ResQFlare is waterproof (IP67) and automatically rights itself to float when in the water, without the need for a buoyancy or flotation ring. Its lightweight and compact design make it a convenient addition to any vessel.
The ResQFlare Bundle, ResQKit Survival Kit, ResQKit Pro Survival Kit, and ResQLink View Survival Kit are available, offering additional features such as EPIRB, Personal Locator Beacon, and signaling products. These kits provide comprehensive emergency preparedness solutions.
Key features of the ResQFlare include:
- Battery: C-cell alkaline batteries (x2), user-replaceable (not included)
- Light Source: High-efficiency 0.5W LED (x7)
- Light Color: White
- Dimensions: Φ2.36" x 8.07" (Φ60 x 205 mm)
- Light Intensity: ≥75cd (6.2 miles visual distance)
- Waterproof Level: IP67
- Buoyant: Inherently buoyant (no buoyancy/flotation ring necessary)
- Activation: Manual
The ResQFlare and included Distress Flag, when carried together, qualify as a replacement for USCG pyrotechnic flares in the United States. The device's durable design and long operational life make it a reliable and practical choice for maritime safety.
