ACR Artex ResQFlare Electronic is a high-intensity LED Electronic Distress Flare. Sold with the included daytime distress flag, the ResQFlare, and the accompanying flag is certified to meet the applicable U.S. Coast Guard requirements allowing them to be carried instead of traditional pyrotechnic flares (the U.S. only) on vessels subject to 33 CFR 175.130 (primarily recreational boats).
