EDF1 Electronic distress and locating flare, 6-hour autonomy

The rescueME EDF1 distress light from Océan Signal is a safe and reusable alternative to traditional pyrotechnic flares. It uses advanced LED technology to provide continuous illumination and optimal visibility at sea with no burn risk.

The light offers exceptional autonomy of up to 6 hours of continuous illumination when used in economy mode, which is significantly longer than classic flares that last only a few minutes.

The luminous range of the EDF1 distress light can reach up to 7 nautical miles thanks to its high-intensity LED technology.

Yes, this equipment is fully waterproof and has been designed to withstand immersion to a depth of 10 meters, making it perfectly suited to the marine environment.

Yes, the LB10F lithium battery is specifically designed to be easily user-replaceable. You do not need to return the device to the factory for this replacement.

The device has 4 distinct operating modes to adapt to different distress situations and optimize visibility, including an economy mode to maximize battery life.

The EDF1 light integrates a very handy battery test function. It allows you to easily check the charge state before each departure to ensure the device is ready for use.

This is the most compact distress light in the world. It weighs only 155 grams and is about 40% smaller than competing devices, making storage much easier.

It is an excellent alternative or a very secure complement to pyrotechnic flares. However, you should check your flag state's local regulations (such as France's Division 240) to determine under which conditions it legally replaces mandatory safety equipment.

The specific lens design provides excellent constant visibility over 360 degrees horizontally and 30 degrees vertically, optimizing the chances of being spotted by rescue teams, including helicopters.

The device is designed to withstand extreme conditions. It remains fully operational within a temperature range of -20°C to +55°C.

It uses a 9V LiMnO2 lithium battery (model LB10F). It contains 1.65 grams of lithium and weighs approximately 51 grams.

The electronic distress light comes with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty, indicating its high reliability and manufacturing quality.

No, unlike traditional pyrotechnic flares, LED technology produces neither flame nor intense heat. This allows for completely safe use, even inside a liferaft or near flammable materials.

No, the supplied lithium battery is not rechargeable. Any attempt to recharge it is dangerous. Once discharged or expired, it must be replaced with a new original LB10F battery.

The battery contains less than 2 grams of lithium (1.65 g) and complies with UN 38.3. It can therefore be shipped and transported safely, including by road under ADR special provisions (section 188).

The EDF1 light is a rigorously tested device. It is CE certified, meets FCC Part 15 requirements, and complies with the maritime environmental standard EN60945.

Yes, absolutely. Thanks to its ultra-compact format and featherweight design, it fits easily into the pocket of a lifejacket or in an individual survival kit, perfectly complementing a PLB1 or MOB1 beacon.

The device can be safely stored in environments where the temperature reaches up to +75°C (and drops to -20°C), which is ideal for boats exposed to intense heat in the sun.

No, the ergonomic design allows for simple and quick battery replacement by the user without requiring complex tools or professional intervention.
