Acr Electronics Personal Marker/Floatation/Strobe Lights

ACR Electronics: Setting the Standard for Personal Marker and Strobe Lights

When lives are on the line on the water, few names carry the authority of ACR Electronics. Founded with the singular mission of saving lives, ACR Electronics designs and manufactures cutting-edge rescue beacons and survival gear for boaters, pilots, hunters, hikers, climbers, and cyclists. Within the world of personal marker, floatation, and strobe lights, ACR has built a product lineup that reflects decades of engineering discipline and real-world search-and-rescue experience.

Why ACR Strobe and Marker Lights Stand Apart

ACR Electronics produces search and rescue equipment including electronic distress flares, strobe lights, and emergency position-indicating radiobeacons — and their personal lighting products are held to the same rigorous standards as their beacon technology. Since 1956, ACR's wide range of survival products have been the choice of NASA, the U.S. Military, the U.S. Coast Guard, and everyday explorers and adventurers across the globe. That heritage of trust is baked directly into every strobe and marker light they produce.

Key Product Lines: C-Strobe, HemiLight™3, and OLAS Float-On

ACR's personal distress lighting lineup covers a range of scenarios and user needs. The compact, rugged, and waterproof C-Strobe and C-Strobe H2O are USCG/SOLAS approved and feature a 45 lumen LED that typically operates for 120 hours continuously in strobe mode. The C-Strobe activates manually with an easy twist on/off, while the C-Strobe H2O adds automatic water-activation and three modes of operation: strobe, steady-on, and SOS.

For life jacket-specific use, the Auto HemiLight™3 raises the bar further. The ACR Auto HemiLight™3 attaches to almost any style life jacket, features rounded edges to maintain the integrity of inflatable PFDs, and meets USCG, MED, and SOLAS requirements — automatically activating for 20+ hours when it contacts salt or fresh water.

At the cutting edge of the lineup sits the OLAS Float-On, a product that blends traditional strobe technology with modern digital connectivity. The ACR OLAS Float-On is a buoyant wearable crew tracker that integrates OLAS (Overboard Location Alert System) technology with an LED flashlight and water-activated strobe. The high-power strobe flashes once every second for up to 20 hours and is visible up to 3 nautical miles away. The OLAS mobile application detects a break in its "virtual tether" to the Float-On within 8 seconds, then sounds an alarm and records the GPS coordinates of the incident.

Certifications and Build Quality You Can Rely On

ACR's personal distress strobe lights are USCG/SOLAS approved and feature an impact-resistant case, making them reliable, multi-purpose lights whenever efficient distress lighting is needed. The slim, lightweight, and versatile design fits easily in a pocket or attaches discreetly to a life jacket or backpack, with flexible lashing loops that allow for multiple mounting options. Whether you're a coastal cruiser, offshore racer, or day sailor, ACR's personal marker and strobe lights are engineered to perform when every second counts.
