All at Sea has teamed up with Ocean Signal to give away an EDF2 Flare worth £229.99.
The Ocean Signal rescueME EDF2 electronic distress flare is the future of distress signalling, offering sailors and boaters a safe, environmentally friendly and reusable alternative to traditional pyrotechnic flares.
Combining electronic and optical technologies, the buoyant handheld device surpasses RTCM (Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Standards) regulations.
With an impressive light intensity of over 50cd (candela), the EDF2 outshines basic illumination. Flashing the international morse code for ‘S-O-S’ in red-orange and cyan LEDs while its infrared (IR) component simultaneously mirrors the signal pattern, the device is optimised for visibility in low-light conditions and compatible with night vision optics.
Certified as a Night Visual Distress Signalling Device (eNDSD), it is an invaluable tool for night rescue teams. The EDF2 features a 180° luminous angle for extensive light distribution range and boasts a lengthened operational time that surpasses RTCM standards by 50%. This exceeds the burn time offered by traditional pyrotechnics, providing sailors with a more reliable, longer-lasting distress signal in emergencies.
Benefits of an EDF2 Electronic Boat Flare vs. Traditional Pyrotechnic Flares:
• No expiration date
• Family safe (no burning flame)
• Easy to operate (so even children and first-time boaters can operate it in the event of an emergency)
• No issues with the existing stringent mandatory disposal requirements for pyrotechnic flares (legally considered as hazardous materials)
• Waterproof and buoyant
• One-time purchase (less cost over the life of the product)
• Two distinct methods of distress signalling in one product – multi-colour LED strobe and infrared LED strobe
• Ability to extend operating life of the product in an emergency situation by replacing batteries
