SARSCENE was a great venue in many ways. It provided the opportunity to meet with the leading experts in search and rescue, engage in discussions about our latest gear with customers, uncover opportunities and develop partnerships. While this sounds very text book, the discussions are rewarding as we all strive to the common goal; Keeping people safe while they are doing their job or enjoying leisure time on the water.
One of those partnering opportunities that presented itself is improving your visibility. With winter approaching, this is the time to think about getting some accessory lights, for you, your family, employees and colleagues.
Mustang Survival makes products for water rescuers and all those that work or play on or near the water. So we’re talking about visibility of the rescuer, workers or pleasure boaters. Our foam and inflatable life jackets, flotation coats, immersion and dry suits all benefit from lights to increase visibility. We have always had the essential strobe lights in our line, but there is a new type of lights that can significantly increase safety in closer proximity applications. Bright, rugged, waterproof, extremely compact, light weight, efficient power use, Adventure Lights manufactures specialty lights for the military, rescue professionals and recreational boaters.
The Guardian is ideal for rescuers; with five bright colors available, different members or groups can be quickly & easily identified (see who is where). The Guardian is a dual function beacon that can be changed from flashing mode to steady on (flashlight mode) by simply flipping over the battery pack inside. Imagine the uses you would have for a compact waterproof flashlight on your lash tab? Boasting over 250 hours of bright light in flashing mode and 100 hours in steady on, the Guardian will ensure that you have light when you need it.
With a weight of only 15g, the Guardian offers visibility of over 1 mile. (1.5 Km) Available in White, Green, Blue, Amber & Red, the belt clip (included) fits easily on a standard lash tag, the light loop on our Deluxe and HIT Inflatable PFD, paddling vest and work vests. It can also be used with a simple Velcro loop for a semi-permanent attachment. A special S.O.S./steady on version is the perfect addition for packs, kits & glove boxes.
The VIP Signal Light is the pinnacle of portable emergency lighting. Tested in deserts, the Arctic, in the stratosphere and recently certified to 600 M in Deep Ocean testing, the VIP has proven to hold up to the demands of extreme environmental conditions over unpredictable terrain. The VIP is the only waterproof light in the world that is a flashlight, emergency flasher and SOS survival beacon all in one terrific package. With visibility over 5K, many of the world’s most elite military, police and search and rescue teams currently use the VIP and attest that it sets new standards of quality and reliability.
