### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well

Does what it says, seems well made, easy to use

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice buy.
*by C***H on May 27, 2026*

Great Buy. Finally no more pyrotechnic flares.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for what I need.
*by P***T on March 28, 2024*

Easy to use. Takes 2 C batteries. It's a bit pricey for what it as, as they all are for a coast guard approved SOS light. I picked this one from the others as it's more sized like a flashlight. The others were much more bulky. I made a "coast guard" package for the boat with all the requirements in like a small lunch bag which fit everything perfectly.
