Odeo Distress Flare MK3

The Odeo Flare™ is the new alternative to the traditional red pyrotechnic hand-held distress flare. It is similar 

in size to traditional flares, but instead of using dangerous explosives to burn, it uses battery powered light 
emitting diodes.

Traditional flares will burn for around 30 seconds before extinguishing: the Odeo Flare™ 'burns' for around 5 
hours at full illumination. Because no pyrotechnics are used, the Odeo Flare™ is totally safe when switched off, 
and because it uses battery power (high power lithium iron-disulphide cells), it can even be safely posted or 
carried in baggage on flights.

Whilst originally designed for marine use, its lightweight, safe performance means that it is incredibly useful 
for any outdoor activity. Mountaineering, skiing, expeditions... now any activity can benefit from the added 
safety and security of carrying a distress flare - without the unwanted dangers.

The Odeo Flare™ is designed with consideration to SOLAS requirements, making it a genuine alternative to the 
pyrotechnic red hand held flare. The US Coast Guard is now leading the world in developing standards for 
electronic Visual Distress Signals (eVDS) as a replacement for the hand held pyrotechnic flare.
