## Overview

The Sirius Signal C-1003 is a US Coast Guard-approved LED distress signal kit featuring a powerful SOS flash visible up to 10 nautical miles, a 60-hour battery life, and includes a daytime distress flag plus marine whistle. Designed for safety, environmental responsibility, and ease of use, it floats upright and replaces traditional flares with a long-lasting, family-safe electronic alternative.

## Description

The Sirius Signal eVDSD SOS C-1003 Beacon is redesigned from their Original Alternative to Pyrotechnic Flares, the wildly successful model C-1001 (discontinued 2020). Powered by a high-performance, programmable microprocessor controlling an SOS flash pattern signal flashed through an even brighter and more potent LED, the Sirius Signal SOS C-1003 model is both family-safe and easy to use. The optical design provides an omnidirectional light display for surface rescue craft and a vertical beam visible to aircraft flying overhead. Improved flotation now even higher off the water, is visible up to 10 nautical miles, and the SOS C-1003's beam lasts for hours compared to the minutes-long lifespan of traditional pyrotechnic distress. US Coast Guard approved Visual Distress Signal (VDS) fulfills requirements (46 CFR 175.130) for recreational marine vessels 16 FT AND OVER signals when combined with the included Distress Flag. A quality Marine whistle is included to fulfill USCG audible signal requirements. Finally, a family and environmentally safe alternative to the antiquated pyrotechnic visual distress flare! Requires 3 C batteries (included).

Review: Highly Recommended – Safe, Bright, and Reliable SOS Signal! - Highly Recommended – Safe, Bright, and Reliable SOS Signal! I purchased the Sirius Signal C-1003 SOS LED Distress Signal for my boat, and I’m extremely impressed. The setup was super easy, and I love that it’s USCG-approved, so I know I’m covered for safety requirements. The LED signal is incredibly bright and it stays on for hours without needing a replacement. It’s reassuring to know the device floats and the SOS signal remains above water, just in case. The day flag and whistle are nice bonuses and make me feel prepared for any situation. The product shipped quickly, and the quality feels great right out of the box. If you want a worry-free, eco-friendly flare alternative, I definitely recommend this. I feel much more confident on the water with it onboard!
