Review: Finally — No More Expired Boat Flares! - I’m really impressed with the TEKTITE SOSeFLARE 5. It’s such a great alternative to traditional boat flares. I love that there’s no expiration date and no worry about replacing flares every few years. It gives great peace of mind knowing I have a reliable emergency signal that’s ready whenever I need it. The light is very bright and highly visible, even from a distance, and the flashing SOS pattern makes it clear that it’s an emergency signal. It’s also compact and lightweight, so it fits easily in my boat’s safety kit without taking up much space. Another big plus is how durable it feels. It’s waterproof and clearly built for marine use. I also like that it’s reusable, which makes it more practical and cost-effective compared to disposable flares. Overall, this is a smart safety upgrade for anyone who spends time on the water. Highly recommend it for boaters looking for a safer and longer-lasting signaling device.
Review: No More Flares!, I'm FREE! - As a matter of principle, I never post a review too soon in order to have time to torture the item a little bit, In this case I had to brake my rules, when I saw this SOSEFLARE from Tektite thingy advertised as NEW item, I had to have one to see if it was a better safety unit for us than what we were using which I call the Fat Boy that was bought at West Marine & serving Skipper's McGregor 26M for the last year, a brand called Sirius , I like the Sirus however the SOS Light from Tektite is OMG ! it kind of looks like, Fat Boy lost his weight & volume which is a big deal to us, 26 feet is not that much when in open ocean, so everything in its place is a must, We can now place the Tektite SOSeFlare so easily FLUSH on the steering wheel housing so to be deployed at a moment's notice no more fighting with that spongy awkward donut float of the Fat Boy, this alone is a God send to us, we just could not leave fat boy near enough for an emergency due to its corpulence. Another plus for me anyway, buy America or bye bye America, wow ! we still make flashlights in the USA , blown ! It says USCGA so I trust the US Coast Guard did their due diligence in certifying that SOS emitting beacon, In recap, considering: - the non-obstructive flush standby storage by our wheel - the ease of deployment & activation by simple twist of the lense - the OMG intensity coming from that LED module - the fairly inexpensive cost - the longevity / duration of the burn/illumination is why I derived to a word we all like INEXPENSIVE but not Cheap . PS, we've only been using Tektite SOS since March 26 2024 on the very next day we received it , so it has been a short time to fully torture it as mentioned, however I plan on taking pictures & possibly making videos of my torture chamber, time allowing, especially since I discovered some other usage which I will speak about later.
