Does not meet Coast Guard regulations
I bought this laser for use on my kayak as night, which is why I asked REI whether it meets US Coast Guard regulations for night time distress lighting. REI said it did, so I went and bought it. Turns out it doesn't. Having said that, it does seem like it might have its uses. The light requires you to aim and point it at a rescuer, including search and rescue aircraft. Once you do that, it can be seen. The manufacturer claims from miles away. I haven't decided yet whether I will keep it. It definitely does not do what I bought it for, and it doesn't meet the regulations as REI said it did, so I am disappointed. I just don't know whether the potential uses it could serve overcome that disappointment.
Well made laser signal
I carry this with me when racing sailing yacht on the Great Lakes. Coast Guard help is very limited so you need to be found by your own crew as soon as possible. With this laser you WILL be seen.
Nice signaling device
Doesn't the name indicate the purpose of this product? It's called the "Rescue Laser Light Signaling Device" for a reason. This is a signaling light, which is used for rescue purposes. It's not the same as a light used on vessels for visibility. This product, which I bought when I used to be a search and rescue team, worked exactly as advertised. And for the curious, from the Coast Guard's "Navigation Rules and Regulations Handbook": A vessel under oars may exhibit the lights prescribed in this Rule for sailing vessels, but if she does not, she shall have ready at hand an electric torch or lighted lantern showing a white light which shall be exhibited insufficient time to prevent collision. A vessel under oars may exhibit the lights prescribed in this Rule for sailing vessels, but if she does not, she shall exhibit an all-round white light or have ready at hand an electric torch or lighted lantern showing a white light which shall be exhibited in sufficient time to prevent collision.
