We tested this product
Read our detailed review, ratings and verdict

The original standard for flare alternatives was developed by the US Coast Guard in 1979 – long before powerful LEDs were even available. In 2014, Sirius Signal developed the first USCG approved electronic visual distress signal (eVDSD/s). Today, Sirius Signal delivers the latest in boating safety technology with the C-1002.

Features and performance

  • Offers both an infrared (IR) and two-color SOS distress signal.
  • The only eVDSD products with IR LEDs (C-1002 & C-1004).
  • Only manufacturer in the world to produce two-color RTCM 13200.0 standard.
  • Flashing two-color (red-orange/cyan/red-orange) signal is designed to be more visible against busy shoreline background lights.
  • Two-color signal is 5x brighter than any single white color eVDSD.
  • Super-bright LEDs deliver 50 candelas in an omnidirectional pattern.
  • Visibility from any direction for up to 10 nautical miles.

Battery and durability

  • Includes 10-year lithium CR123 batteries that far outlast pyrotechnic flares, which must be replaced every 3 years.
  • Sirius Signal warranties and provides parts and service for every model.

Connectivity

  • Built-in bluetooth allows connection to the optional afloat plan home app.
  • Using the app, you can remotely activate the C-1002 and check battery status.

Mounting system

  • Secure mount keeps your signal within easy reach.
  • Mount easily creates a vacuum seal on any flat surface.
  • CSM-1000 mount is designed to withstand life on the water.
  • Can be used for storage and for displaying your eVDSD in a prominent location during an emergency.

Approvals and compliance

  • Approved for use by the US Coast Guard, Transport Canada, and Marine and Safety Tasmania (MAST).
  • Approved by Transport Canada to be used as a nighttime visual distress signal on pleasure craft instead of flares when carried with an approved smoke signal (Nov 2021).
  • US Coast Guard Approved: Legally replace your flares with a long-lasting, high-intensity LED 2-color SOS distress signal
  • Bright SOS Signal: Flashes an omnidirectional red-orange(S)/cyan(O)/red-orange(S) and infrared SOS signal for a distance of up to 10 miles for 6 hours
  • Never Buy Flares Again: Family-safe and easy to use, the C-1002 comes as a complete Coast Guard approved kit, including an orange flag for daytime use and whistle for an audible signal, that fulfills USCG Night, Day, and Audible distress signal requirements (46 CFR 175.130)
  • 5x Brighter Than Single White-Color Signals: Bright, 2-color signal is more effective against shoreline background light clutter
  • Smartphone On/Off Activation Available: Connects via Bluetooth to remotely operate the light and check battery status using free Afloat Plan Home app
  • Included Suction Cup Display Mount: Installs securely to make your distress signal hands-free and keep it highly visible
  • Premium Batteries Included: User-replaceable standard CR123 lithium batteries included
  • IP68 Rated: Enhanced flotation protective collar protects device in harsh marine conditions
