Daniamant Odeo Distress Flare - Odeo Distress Flare C/W Lithium Batteries - Lithium Battery Powered Non-Pyrotechnic Distress Flare

The Odeo Distress Flare™ is the next generation of electronic visual distress signal devices (eVDSD), designed as a safe, non-pyrotechnic alternative to traditional hand flares. Unlike conventional flares that burn for just 60 seconds, the Odeo Distress provides up to 8 hours of continuous illumination, ensuring extended visibility during emergencies. Powered by 4 x L91 Lithium (supplied) or 4 x Alkaline batteries, it is safe to handle, transport, and even carry in checked luggage.

Originally developed for marine use, its compact size, waterproof IP68 rating (50m), and lightweight design make it suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities, including mountaineering, skiing, kayaking, diving, and expeditions. The device outputs an internationally recognised SOS signal in line with Annex 4 of COLREGS and has been designed with consideration to SOLAS requirements, making it a genuine electronic alternative to pyrotechnic red hand flares. The Odeo Distress Flare™ offers users advanced technology and safety, providing a reliable distress signal without the risks associated with traditional flares.
