ACR Electronics ResQFlare LNK-ERS1 USCG Approved Electronic Distress Flare with Flag

ACR ResQFlare USCG approved Distress Flare & Flag

The ACR Electronics ResQFlare LNK-ERS1 is a high-intensity LED electronic distress flare designed for reliable emergency signaling at sea. Certified by the U.S. Coast Guard as a Night Visual Distress Signal, this device replaces traditional pyrotechnic flares for vessels up to 65 feet, providing a safer, reusable, and environmentally friendly alternative. Equipped with a durable, waterproof (IP67) construction, the ResQFlare emits a powerful 75 candela peak light visible over 6 miles in all directions, ensuring maximum visibility during distress situations. Its compact and lightweight design makes it easy to carry and deploy, while the automatic self-righting and floating features eliminate the need for additional flotation devices, making it ideal for emergency use in rough water conditions. The high-efficiency electronics allow the flare to maintain continuous operation for over 20 hours on just two user-replaceable C-cell alkaline batteries, which are not included, providing extended operational life well beyond regulatory requirements. The device's flashing Morse code for SOS enhances its signaling capability, increasing chances for rescue and survival. Included with the flare is a certified distress flag, which serves as an effective daytime signaling device. The flag can be flown on a mast, held by hand, or laid flat to attract attention from aircraft or rescuers, fulfilling both day and night signaling requirements. When used together, the ResQFlare and flag satisfy U.S. Coast Guard regulations for visual distress signals, making them suitable for various watercraft within U.S. waters and on the Great Lakes. Pairing this device with an ACR EPIRB or Personal Locator Beacon offers a comprehensive emergency signaling solution, providing rescue personnel with precise location and visual identification from miles away. Designed for durability and long-term use, the ResQFlare's fire-resistant, oil-resistant, fungus-resistant, and corrosion-resistant features ensure reliable performance in harsh marine environments. As a certified safety device, it is a critical addition to any boat safety kit, offering peace of mind during emergency situations.
