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

Our marina mandated safety inspections for all boats that included flares. Two year old boat failed because flares were 3 years old. I still had 6 from the past two times I bought new ones (got 3 of them wet by over zealous spraying/washing). Now I just need to pop extra C batteries in. Will definitely save some money. This thing is so bright - very impressive. Feels very sturdy and is a breeze to use.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Having purchased pyrotechnic flares for my boat for many years, I now have a lot of them. Having the electronic strobe is a great way to save money and still meet the Coast Guard safety requirements as well as getting a quality product at an inexpensive price!

The Sirius Signal C-1003 SOS LED Distress Signal shipped fast with overnight shipping. Very durable and easy to operate. The light is extremely bright. I had flares in my boat that had expired. No brainer to get this battery operated flair. It will pay for itself by not having to purchase flares every time they expire. No danger in teaching my grandchildren how to use this. Totally recommend!

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.

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.

Works perfectly and no need for expiring flares now!
