EDF1 Electronic distress and locating light – 6h battery life

The rescueME EDF1 distress light from Océan Signal is a safe, 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 provides exceptional battery life of up to 6 hours of continuous illumination when used in economy mode, which is significantly longer than traditional flares that last only a few minutes.

The luminous range of the EDF1 distress flare 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 up to 10 meters depth, 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 lets you easily check the charge state before every 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 reassuring complement to pyrotechnic flares. However, you must check your flag state regulations (such as French Division 240) to confirm in which conditions it legally replaces the mandatory safety equipment.

The lens’s specific design delivers consistent visibility over 360 degrees horizontally and 30 degrees vertically, maximizing 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, reflecting 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 life raft 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 the ADR special provisions (provision 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. Due to its ultra-compact format and featherweight design, it fits easily into a lifejacket pocket or individual survival equipment, perfectly complementing a PLB1 or MOB1 beacon.

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

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