Ocean Signal Launch Advanced Distress Light

Marine safety equipment manufacturers Ocean Signal have strengthened their market position with the launch of the rescueME EDF2 distress light, their most advanced eVDSD (Electronic Visual Distress Signalling Device) yet. Combining electronic and optical technologies, the buoyant handheld device surpasses RTCM (Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Standards) regulations, offering sailors and boaters a safe, environmentally friendly and reusable alternative to traditional pyrotechnic flares.

With an impressive light intensity of over 50cd (candela), the electronic distress flare outshines basic illumination. The device is optimised for visibility in low-light conditions and is compatible with night vision optics.

Mikele D’Arcangelo, Vice President of Global Marketing and Product Management, remarked: ‘Our engineers have ensured the EDF2 not only meets the highest safety standards but also aligns with the growing demand for eco-friendly maritime equipment.’

The launch of the rescueME EDF2 reflects Ocean Signal’s commitment and response to the shift in demand for dependable and sustainable safety devices, meeting the growing need for maritime safety electronics that balance environmental concerns with safety and visibility needs across diverse conditions.
