ODEO Distress is the latest generation of electronic visual distress signals (eVDSD). The world is beginning to recognize LED technology instead of traditional pyrotechnic flares. This has led to the further development and improvement of the groundbreaking ODEO Flare design, enhancing the product once again.

New standards and regulations are still being discussed by the USCG and RTCM; these will result in an alternative standard for replacing pyrotechnics. While this work continues, flare users can already take advantage of and utilize the latest technology.
Overview:
Traditional flares burn for about 30 seconds before extinguishing, whereas the Odeo Distress shines for about 8 hours at full intensity. Since no pyrotechnic technology is used, the Odeo product range is completely safe when turned off, and because it uses battery power (High Power Lithium or Alkaline cells), it can even be safely shipped or transported in luggage on aircraft.
