The ACR ResQFlare is a high intensity LED electronic distress flare providing US recreational boaters with a safe, convenient and cost-effective alternative to pyrotechnic flares. With the accompanying daytime distress flag, the ResQFlare package is a complete distress signaling solution that is certified to meet U.S. Coast Guard requirements allowing them to be carried in lieu of traditional pyrotechnic flares (U.S. only).

A Boating Industry Top Product for 2021.

ACR Electronic’s new ResQFlare is a signaling device that replaces traditional pyrotechnic flares and their need for periodic replacement. The high intensity LED electronic distress flare and accompanying distress flag provide a complete emergency signaling solution that is certified to meet USCG requirements as an alternative to using traditional flares. The ResQFlare and Flag are individually classified as approved Visual Distress Signals for night and day, respectively, ensuring boaters are fully equipped with the required gear for vessels to attract the attention of rescue personnel in an emergency.

The ResQFlare automatically rights itself in the water, providing 360˚ visibility for over six miles and the distress flare’s electronics ensure a substantial operational life, with the LED strobe maintaining 75 cd peak equivalent fixed intensity for over 20 hours, more than three times longer than USCG requirements. Compact, lightweight and easy to operate, the ResQFlare features a durable design and a replaceable battery power source and is certified under USCG 161.013 as a Night-time Visual Distress Signal, while the Distress Flag is certified under USCG 160.072 as a Daytime Visual Distress Signal.

Carrying the ResQFlare and Distress Flag together allows boaters to forego the requirement for traditional flares when on watercraft up to 65ft in length within 12 miles of US waters, or on any body of water with a passageway to the sea at least two miles wide. Vessels less than 16ft are not required to carry a Day Visual Distress Signal, but must still carry a Night Visual Distress Signal, making the ResQFlare a good alternative to traditional flares for small craft. The ResQFlare package retails for $79.95. For boaters looking to equip their vessels with survival equipment in one complete kit, ACR Electronics includes the ResQFlare and Daytime Distress Flag in two new GlobalFix V4 EPIRB Safety Kits.
