I have seen these. I was concerned that it would not meet the Daytime requirement however I see that they have included a distress flag to cover this. I usually purchase day/night flares to cover me for both instances. Many people do not know about the daytime requirement. I also have aireal flares as well.

My only concern with these is batteries. They are designed to run on C Alkaline. Like anything else, you have to be on top of your equipment. Flares are tried and true and usually light. On the flips side, I never understood why you are required to carry a device (in your hand) that lights with fire... While holding it inside of a boat with either A. a gas tank close by or B. 32 gallons of fuel directly beneath your feet.

So, for that reason, I am seriously considering this light. I will also be purchasing more strobes for my jackets for each person on board. I already attach whistles. Strobes just make sense.

Thanks for the reminder on the Light Aaron. Still leary on the batteries (especially C) but I think the benefits far outweight the dangers of hanging on to a flare.
