High-Performance Aerial Flares: Superior Visibility and Safety
Be ready when it matters most with the Orion 584 Alerter Basic Signal Kit a USCG-approved aerial distress signaling system designed for recreational boaters operating on inland and coastal waters. The kit combines a corrosion-resistant 12-gauge safety launcher with four high-performance red aerial signal flares, providing both day and nighttime signaling capability that meets and exceeds all U.S. Coast Guard requirements under 46 CFR 160.
The 12-gauge launcher features a hammer safety lock, a bandolier capable of holding up to six signals, and carries a lifetime warranty against corrosion-related failure built to withstand the harsh marine environment. Each of the four included HP Red Aerial Flares reaches altitudes up to 500 feet, burns with up to 16,000 candela brightness, and sustains for up to 7 seconds per signal providing maximum visibility from sea and air during an emergency.
