The ODEO SOS is a next-generation electronic visual distress signal device (eVDS) engineered to replace dangerous pyrotechnic hand flares.
Emitting a high-intensity white strobe signal with an internationally recognised Morse SOS code pattern, the ODEO SOS delivers over 2,500 cd peak equivalent intensity. It maintains constant brightness for up to 9 hours, far exceeding standard requirements and greatly improving chances of survival.
