Princeton Tec - Eco Flare

Being seen on the water is just as important as seeing where you're going, and the Princeton Tec Eco Flare makes sure you're visible when conditions or daylight work against you.

This compact personal locator light is a practical safety addition for sea kayakers, open water paddlers, and anyone spending time on the water in low-visibility conditions. Two LED bulbs cover your bases with a constant white area light for general visibility and a flashing red LED for signalling, and the whole unit runs on just two AAA alkaline batteries with an impressive 500-plus hour burn time. That's the kind of reliability you can count on across an entire season without constantly swapping batteries.

The IPX8 waterproof rating means the Eco Flare maintains its integrity under continual submersion down to 100 metres, so a wet exit or a dunking in rough coastal conditions won't take it out of action. A wrist lanyard and clip give you options for how you carry it, whether that's attached to your PFD, clipped to a backpack strap, or secured to your boat. Small enough to tuck away and forget about until you need it, this is the kind of no-fuss safety gear that earns its place on every paddle.
