The Firefly Pro Waterbug emergency distress strobe is SOLAS approved and has a built-in water activation sensor that automatically activates when submerged. The Waterbug is capable of producing 41 candela of light per strobe for up to 56 hours on AA lithium batteries. With its wide light emission LEDs, the LEDs cuts through foul conditions by creating a super-bright flash which be seen for over 3.5 miles. Four activation functions allow users to toggle between armed mode for automatic water activation, ultra-bright strobe or S.O.S. strobe to alert search and rescue, then toggle the steady-on feature for close-up recover operations.
