Meet the ACR ResQFlare USCG approved Distress Flare & Flag, a high‑tech, non‑pyrotechnic distress signaling solution designed to keep you safer on the water. Paired with the included Distress Flag, this LNK‑ERS1 electronic flare meets USCG requirements and serves as a reliable daytime and nighttime signaling tool in emergencies.
Key features
-
360° visibility with bright light emitted in all directions to help rescuers spot you quickly—over 6 miles of effective range.
-
High‑intensity LED strobe maintains a 75 cd peak intensity for 20 hours (room temperature) or longer, delivering reliable signaling well beyond the minimum requirement.
-
Two user‑replaceable C‑Cell alkaline batteries (Not Included) for easy, on‑the‑go power replacement.
-
Automatic righting and buoyant design floats if dropped in the water and does not require a separate flotation ring.
-
Durable construction—fire‑resistant, oil‑resistant, fungus‑resistant, and corrosion‑resistant, with IP67 waterproof protection.
-
USCG certified as a Night Visual Distress Signal under 46 CFR 161.013, backed by the included Flag for daytime signaling.
-
Night and day signaling—the ResQFlare emits a Morse code SOS signal, and the Distress Flag supports daylight signaling options for visibility in bright conditions.
The ResQFlare is designed as a safer, longer‑lasting alternative to traditional pyrotechnic flares. Its efficient electronics preserve peak light intensity for extended periods, reducing the need for frequent replacements and disposal hassles while enhancing your chances of rescue in an emergency.
