ACR 3330344 (ACR3966) ResQFlare Electronic LED Emergency Boat Flare
The ACR ResQFlare is a reusable electronic LED emergency boat flare certified to meet U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) signaling requirements. Designed as a safe, non-pyrotechnic alternative to traditional pyrotechnic flares, it emits a bright white Morse code SOS light for nighttime visibility. Paired with its included orange distress flag for daytime signaling, it replaces required pyrotechnic flares on most U.S. recreational vessels without the risk of open flames, hot residue, or pyrotechnic expiration dates.
