WICKED LED Strobe Light for Life Jacket — Water-Activated USCG/SOLAS Rescue Beacon, 4-Pack, ≥8hr Runtime

WICKED LED Strobe Light is a water‑activated, USCG/SOLAS‑rated rescue beacon designed to attach to life jackets and produce a long‑lasting, high‑intensity strobe for overboard emergencies.

Boaters, fishers and mariners need dependable signaling gear that works when seconds count. This WICKED four‑pack of compact, positively buoyant LED strobe lights meets international marine safety specifications and is built to activate automatically on contact with fresh or salt water. Lightweight and easy to clip or lanyard to personal flotation devices, they boost daytime visibility and provide a powerful night strobe for extended search and rescue efforts.

How long will the strobe run during an emergency?

These beacons are engineered for extended operation. They are rated for at least eight hours of continuous flashing under standard conditions and have been tested to run in excess of twenty hours, providing sustained visual signaling for prolonged rescue timelines.

• Rated runtime: ≥ 8 hours under normal use
• Tested endurance: over 20 hours in lab conditions
• Consistent flash pattern optimized for long‑range visibility
• High‑output LED maintains intensity throughout battery life

Will the light activate automatically and can I control it?

The device is water‑activated so it will start flashing when immersed in salt or fresh water, eliminating the need to fumble with switches in the water. There is also a manual red push button to deactivate the unit if you want to preserve battery or control signaling once rescued or aboard another vessel.

• Automatic activation on water contact (fresh and salt)
• Manual red button for quick deactivation
• Ideal for accidental overboard scenarios and planned drills
• Simple interface reduces user error in stressful situations

Is this light easy to attach and safe to use with inflatable life jackets?

The housing is smooth, compact and positively buoyant, designed to avoid puncturing inflatable vests while offering convenient attachment options. Each unit includes a vest clip and a robust nylon lanyard so you can secure it around the neck or to D‑rings without compromising the integrity of the life‑saving equipment.

• Compact, smooth housing reduces puncture risk
• Comes with vest clip and nylon rope lanyard for versatile mounting
• Positively buoyant — stays afloat with the wearer
• Small profile retrofits easily to most life jackets and vests

What certifications and standards does it meet?

This strobe meets widely recognized maritime safety standards used by commercial and pleasure craft, ensuring compatibility with international rescue protocols. Owners can rely on a unit that adheres to SOLAS, USCG and multiple MSC and LSA requirements for marine signaling devices.

• Compliant with SOLAS 74/96 and related amendments
• Meets MSC standards including MSC 207(81), MSC 218(82), MSC 226(82)
