What is an SOS eVDSD?

An "Electronic Visual Distress Signal Device" (eVDSD) is used to indicate distress or an emergency situation visually, often in boating or maritime contexts. Designed to enhance safety by signaling for help or drawing attention to a vessel in need.

Why should you replace your flares with an SOS eVDSD?

USCG compliant, SOS eVDSDs are Family Safe, Never Expire and reduce toxic waste from pyrotechnic flares. Please note that regulations and specific devices may vary by region and type of vessel.

What is the difference between an SOS eVDSD distress light and a strobe light?

An SOS distress light is designed to signal for help in an emergency. It emits the internationally recognized Morse code signal "SOS" (three short, three long, three short flashes). A strobe light is a general-purpose, high-intensity flashing light.
