Sirius Signal C-1003 SOS LED Flare Electronic Visual Distress Signal Kit - CG Approved
Category: orion flares marine
Sirius Signal Electronic Flares fulfill the USCG Day, Night, and Audible signal requirements with an included distress flag & whistle. These electronic flares offer a unique solution that does not pollute the environment like single-use pyrotechnic flares and never expire, thanks to their clean LED technology.
Sirius Signal was founded on the principle of eliminating the need for recreational boaters to carry explosive and toxic pyrotechnic marine flares. The company's mission is to provide a safer and more environmentally-friendly alternative that still meets Coast Guard distress signal requirements.
Sales of Sirius Signal SOS Distress Lights have removed the need for over 2 million pyrotechnic flares in the US, preventing those flares from being dumped in landfills or improperly disposed of at sea.
The Sirius Signal SOS C-1003 model is a family-friendly and safe alternative to the antiquated pyrotechnic visual distress flare. It is US Coast Guard approved and flashes the SOS signal for up to 60 hours, significantly longer than USCG requirements. Powered by a high-performance, programmable microprocessor, the C-1003 emits an even brighter and more potent LED signal that is visible up to 10 nautical miles.
As a complete distress signal kit, the C-1003 fulfills USCG Night, Day, and Audible distress signal requirements. The orange distress flag fulfills the daytime signal requirement, while the quality marine whistle complies with USCG audible signal requirements. The optical design provides an omnidirectional light display for surface rescue craft and a vertical beam visible to aircraft flying overhead.
Sirius Signal's mobile app offers additional features to enhance boating safety, including the ability to create a Float Plan, use the One-Touch Check Me function, call for towing assistance, and send instant 911 alerts. The app also provides a First Aid section with important safety advice.
Customers can choose from several Sirius Signal eVDSD (Electronic Visual Distress Signal Device) models to fit their needs, including the C-1003, C-1004, C-1002, and SB-3L Safety Kit. These devices are powered by long-lasting lithium batteries and feature a variety of additional capabilities, such as infrared distress signals and Bluetooth connectivity.
By replacing traditional pyrotechnic flares with Sirius Signal's electronic alternatives, boaters can enjoy a family-safe, environmentally-friendly, and USCG-compliant solution that never expires and is visible for miles. Sirius Signal's commitment to innovation and safety has made a significant impact in the boating community, reducing toxic waste and providing a modern, reliable distress signaling system.
