1 Odeo Flare™ = 600 hand flares

Designed with consideration to - and far exceeds - SOLAS requirements

Tested with helicopters

The Odeo Flare™ uses laser technology to achieve the same distinctive visibility of a red hand flare but without the dangers of the heat, flames and explosive compounds of the pyrotechnic flare.


The Odeo Flare™ is the new alternative to the traditional red pyrotechnic hand-held distress flare. It is similar in size to traditional flares, but instead of using dangerous explosives to burn, it uses battery powered lasers

Traditional flares will burn for around 30 seconds before extinguishing: the Odeo Flare™ ‘burns’ for around 10 hours. Because no pyrotechnics are used, the Odeo Flare™ is totally safe when switched off, and because it uses ordinary AA batteries, it can even be safely posted or carried in baggage on flights.

Whilst originally designed for marine use, it's lightweight, safe performance means that it is incredibly useful for any outdoor activity. Mountaineering, skiing, expeditions... now any activity can benefit from the added safety and security of carrying a distress flare - without the unwanted dangers.

The Odeo Flare™ is designed with consideration to SOLAS requirements, making it a genuine alternative to the pyrotechnic red hand held flare. Type Approval is being sought to make it a legal alternative for coded and commercial vessels.
