Greetings and salutations, hope all is well.
I'm seeking the advice of forum members here, having read some of the stickies and only become more confused.
Maritime SAR flares are used to signal distress and location, and were primarily pyrotechnics. However, companies have now started producing both LED and LASER flares.
In particular, the LASER flares seem tremendously powerful and more capable than pyrotechnics in a SAR environment: however, they are also expensive.
The cheapest red laser light, running from one cr123 battery is £80!
Take a look here: Rescue Flares - Marine Flares - Safety Flares
Does anyone have recomendations for a laser pointer with similar capability for alerting people at night at approximately 20 nautical miles, while running from a single rcr123a (A rechargable cr123)?
