Ocean Signal rescueME EDF1 Electronic Distress Flare - 7 Mile Range
Ocean Signal rescueME EDF1 Electronic Distress Flare - 7 Mile Range
The Ocean Signal rescueME EDF1 is the world's most compact electronic distress flare, purpose-built for mariners, aviators, and outdoor adventurers who need reliable visual signaling in an emergency. A unique lens design paired with advanced LED technology and highly efficient circuitry delivers constant light output from the first flash to the last, with no degradation as the user-replaceable battery depletes. The 30°-plus beam spreads through a full 360° azimuth and radiates upward into the hemisphere above the unit, giving search-and-rescue aircraft and helicopters a clear sighting angle. With four operating modes plus SOS signaling, the EDF1 can be activated repeatedly — unlike single-use pyrotechnic flares — eliminating the hazards of pyrotechnic storage and the complications of proper disposal. Compact enough for a grab bag, life raft, or hiking pack, it remains waterproof to 10 meters throughout its service life.
