Sirius Signal C-1004 eVDSD, White & IR LED warning light

The Sirius Signal C-1004 is a patented LED warning/spotlight for boating applications, providing white and infrared light with SOS signal (eVDSD-approved). The LED torch is significantly safer, more user-friendly and longer burning than traditional pyrotechnic torches. The C-1004 LED torch is fully waterproof and corrosion resistant, and floats so that the light section floats well above the surface of the water, visible up to 10 nautical miles away. The optics of the lens are designed to reflect the light both sideways (for surface rescue vessels) and upwards (for airships), ensuring maximum visibility. While traditional pyrotechnic flares offer a burn time of approximately 60 seconds, the C-1004 LED flare burns continuously for more than 15 hours. Compared to a traditional torch, the LED torch has another major advantage in addition to its burn time: it never expires and remains operational with a simple battery change.

Unlike a traditional pyrotechnic torch, the LED torch is safe for the family and the environment. The torch runs on three CR123 batteries (included), which are easy to replace yourself. The lithium batteries have a shelf life of 10 years (the manufacturer recommends replacing the batteries every 6 years). The emergency beacon is also supplied with an emergency whistle, an orange indicator panel and a screw fixing bracket.

A change in the law that came into force in 2017 allows the replacement of pyrotechnic flares with LED flares for boat equipment in Class 1 (offshore), Class 2 (coastal) and Class 3 (insular), i.e. those classes where the use of a flare is mandatory.

Quick Start Guide

The lamp is shipped with batteries installed. Turn the light on by turning the lens clockwise, which also acts as a switch, until closed. Turn the light off by turning the switch open. When the light goes out, turn one more full turn to ensure that the light does not accidentally light up while in storage.
