SOL Rescue Flash Floating Signal Mirror
SOL Rescue Flash Floating Signal Mirror — Product description
The SOL Rescue Flash is the signal mirror you hope you never need and want anyway. It's lightweight, shatterproof, and it floats, so a drop overboard doesn't cost you your signal. Flash it at a passing boat or aircraft from up to 10 miles out.
Every ditch bag and PFD pocket should have a signal mirror in it, and the SOL Rescue Flash is a good one to grab. It throws a bright flash that can be seen up to 10 miles away, which is exactly what you want when you're trying to catch the eye of a passing boat, a search plane, or someone on shore. No batteries, no bulb to burn out. Just sunlight and a steady hand.
What sets this one apart on the water is that it floats. Drop it over the side and it stays on the surface instead of sinking to the bottom, so you're not losing your one signaling tool at the worst possible moment. The retro-reflective aimer on the back lets you line up your flash on the target with one hand, which matters when your other hand is holding onto the boat or the raft.
It's shatterproof and light, so it packs easy and won't crack if it gets knocked around in a kit. Run the loop through the attachment hole and clip it to your life jacket, your grab bag, or your kayak deck. Sold as an individual unit.

Frequently asked questions
How far away can the signal be seen?
Up to 10 miles in good daylight conditions. Actual range depends on sun angle, weather, and how steady your aim is.
Does it really float?
Yes. It's designed to float, so if you drop it over the side it stays on the surface instead of sinking. That's the whole point of the floating version.
How do I aim it?
There's a retro-reflective aiming aid on the mirror. You look through it, line up the bright spot on your target, and the flash goes where you're pointing. You can do it one-handed.
Do I need batteries or sunlight?
No batteries. It works off reflected sunlight, so you need daylight to use it. Nothing to charge or burn out.
Can I attach it to my life jacket?
Yep. There's an attachment hole, so you can run a loop or lanyard through it and clip it to a PFD, a ditch bag, or your kayak deck.
