The Importance of Choosing the Right Lifejacket Light

It goes without saying, the ocean is a big place. When the worst occurs you want to do everything to make it easier to attract the help you need. 

Having a light on your lifejacket is crucial for attracting attention in the dark, ensuring the crew and emergency services are more likely to spot you. Unfortunately, not all life jackets come with a light attached. When choosing one for your jacket, it’s important to look for a number of factors, which we’ll outline below.

Why it’s crucial to choose the right lifejacket light. 

A light on a lifejacket needs to be ultra-bright, ensuring it stands out like a beacon in a deluge of darkness. It also helps if the light is water activated. When saving someone at sea, time is of the essence and every second counts. 

You also want a light which is maintenance-free and won’t let you down at the last minute. 

Because you’ll be in a hazardous situation, it’s also important it’s easy to operate like our AQ40L Lifejacket Light which has a functional and simple design. This compact flashing lifejacket light is automatically water activated by its sensor lead or manually. This will save you having to worry about turning it on. 

It has an ultra bright, white flashing LED light and is easy to attach to inflatable lifejackets. Highly reliable, it has a maintenance-free five year battery life. Since it’s tamper-proof, you also won’t have to be concerned about anyone deliberately or accidentally making it malfunction.
