Sirius Signal C-1003 SOS LED Distress Signal - Electronic Flare Replacement, USCG Approved, Includes Daytime Flag & Whistle

Highly Recommended – Safe, Bright, and Reliable SOS Signal! I purchased the Sirius Signal C-1003 SOS LED Distress Signal for my boat, and I’m extremely impressed. The setup was super easy, and I love that it’s USCG-approved, so I know I’m covered for safety requirements. The LED signal is incredibly bright and it stays on for hours without needing a replacement. It’s reassuring to know the device floats and the SOS signal remains above water, just in case. The day flag and whistle are nice bonuses and make me feel prepared for any situation. The product shipped quickly, and the quality feels great right out of the box. If you want a worry-free, eco-friendly flare alternative, I definitely recommend this. I feel much more confident on the water with it onboard!

It’s lightweight and battery operated and floats, the light is very bright and easy to turn on, well worth the purchase

Bought this to replace expired flares for my boat. The unit is compact, bright, lasts longer, comes with the daytime distress flag and no worries about having flares on the boat. Nice upgrade, and great quality product.

Was delivered overnight even though I ordered standard ground shipment. Product looks great. Simple to use and operates without any issues. Even came with new batteries so ready to use.

These are nothing more than an overpriced flashlight. They are overpriced because they are meet boating requirements so you no longer need to purchase overpriced flares that expire. The only good part is that you do not need to replace these each three years just replace the battery.

The Sirius Signal C-1003 SOS LED Flare Electronic Visual Distress Signal Kit is a game changer for marine safety. The LED flare is bright and visible from a great distance, even in daylight, which is a huge plus for emergency situations. The kit also includes a distress flag and a whistle, providing everything you need to signal for help in any emergency. I appreciate that it is CG approved, ensuring it meets the necessary safety standards. The battery life is impressive, and the entire kit is compact and easy to store on board. I feel much more confident knowing I have this in my emergency kit. Highly recommend for anyone who spends time on the water!

I purchased the Sirius Signal C-1003 to replace the typical flares required by the USCG regulations for my boat. The typical flares have expiration dates and have to be current in order to be compliant with the regulations. The expired flares then have to be disposed of properly, usually by soaking them in water for 24 hours then putting them in the trash. The Sirius Signal C-1003 only requires that batteries be fresh to operate, it does not expire, the flare operates for a very long duration, it is extremely bright and flashes the Morse Code for SOS when activated. I would definitely recommend this product for any boater.

Tired of handheld flares always expiring? I was and wanted a more permanent solution for my boat while also being Coast Guard certified. This item arrived quickly and is built like a tank. It is incredibly bright. The only unknown is how long the batteries will last but they are cheap and easily replaceable. Most importantly, they are not some expensive custom battery. You will love this. Don’t hesitate, just buy it. Comes with orange distress flag and whistle if you don’t already have these items. Goodbye handheld chemical flares!!

Bon choix de signaux urgence approuvés par la garde côte US en remplacement des fusées que l'on doit renouveler au trois ans. Très satisfait.

Seems a great device. Tried it out at home and its very bright. (Hopefully I won't need it when on the water!) Thankfully regs have changed (in Tasmania, Australia) to allow an EVDS instead of flares - no more replacing them every 3 years. The Sirius unit was a good price and represents good value. (bit of no-brainer really to get one when your flares expire). Shipping/delivery was amazingly fast.

Works perfectly and no need for expiring flares now!

Looks good well built

This device solves the expensive dilemma of replacing flares every four years and struggling to find a place to legally dispose of the expired pyrotechnics. It lasts much longer than flares and cartridges and does not present a hazard to the user when employed. Safer, less expensive, long duration and easy to use in an emergency. A win all around.
