Lightweight, Wearable Safety Strobe Is Essential Gear
After falling overboard, remaining visible to rescuers is essential. Wearing a Life Light® strobe from Ritchie Navigation aids in a successful recovery. Lightweight and compact, it attaches easily to any PFD, harness, survival suit, life raft or throwable device. U.S. Coast Guard-approved and fully automatic, it activates as soon as it’s immersed. A crucial piece of safety equipment, it makes a thoughtful holiday gift.
The powerful Life Light strobe is visible for over 2.5 miles and maintains 100% brightness for 300 hours. Functional in fresh or saltwater, it requires no manual activation – an essential feature if the overboard victim is unconscious.
When the Life Light is removed from the water, it deactivates. This is ideal for use on a life raft that could be at sea for more than 12 days. The non-replaceable lithium-ion battery lasts for five years.
The Life Light (RN-Strobe) from Ritchie Navigation has a rugged, yellow housing that floats and is permanently sealed to ensure absolute corrosion resistance. Measuring 1.5-inch in dia. and weighing only a half oz., it’s ideal for any outdoor activity where emergency assistance may be needed due to injury or being lost. It comes with a lanyard and Velcro strap for a wide range of uses, including on a pet’s life vest. It has an MSRP of $24.

Specially-compounded cable and strict manufacturing quality control ensure each product accommodates a full 100 amps. Connector locking rings feature integral torque tabs for proper gasket engagement and a watertight connection. Housings are made of impact- and chemical-resistant, UV-stabilized PBT for a long product life.
