ACR 3970.3 Firefly PRO Solas Manually Operated Rescue Strobe Light, Carded

Good for its intended purpose! Emergency items let me kayak on open water knowing if I should, worst case, be separated from my boat, I can still me seen. 👍🏼

Needed a replacement for my firefly from like 15 years ago and its the perfect size and super easy to set up .... I live in a hurricane battered part of the world and this is a critical part of my EDC and Go-Bag!

ACR builds Emergency Locator Transmitters (ELT) for aircraft, and this is also aviation grade. Sturdy, well built, and perfectly fits the strap on my backpack. It works on AA batteries, but recommends using lithium ion, which I absolutely concur with. As an emergency tool, I hope that I never have to use it, but have complete confidence in it if needed. FYI, when you test it, do not look directly at the strobe, unless you want to temporarily blind yourself. Ask me how I know……..😳

Excellent! Best in class type of product. A strategic piece of safety equipment no explorer should be without. Safety First, means preparation. Be prepared! Few things in this world are as well designed. Approved by The Excellentway Society. Thank you!

Looks like they have the monopoly on the safety strobe light for SOS, which is required by the US Coast Guard. What’s a captain to do? Had to buy it as there was nothing else in the size that met the Coast Guard requirements. Very expensive for a little cheap item. They need some more competition

Perfect

It’s one of those items that you hope you never have to use, but you want to have confidence that it work and this fits the bill

"meets coast guard minimums" that's for sure. Just purchased a Firefly Pro SOLAS. I do not understand the weakness of the light. I want a strobe that will run for an hour that can be seen from OUTERSPACE. EVERYONE carries a PLB nowadays, so within an hour I will have a helicopter overhead. We don't need 56 hours of weak light, we need an hour of a strobe so bright that anyone looking anywhere near our location will see it.

Tres satisfait et arrivé rapidement! Merci

This strobe is used as an emergency signal tool when out hill walking and is also perfect to keep in the car in case of accidents.

ACR makes lots of these safety devices in different configurations so they are not new to this business. It works perfectly no problem. It suggests a little silicone around the battery seal as it comes dry. I saw a negative comment about water getting in and perhaps this step was not followed. By some real stroke of luck my Sterns SAR PFD has a pocket on the shoulder strap that this fits in like it was made just for this unit. It's approved by Canadian standards. It works well and is quite bright. I will buy the auto version in the future, good to have two. There is another brand made by a company that makes survival stuff but when your life depends on a piece of emergency equipment I prefer to buy from a specialist.

poor quality for the price charged. would not buy it again!

Order 2 units. One was loose in bubble wrap but "seem" new. The other one in original box. Time will tell if it was a good move to order online.
