In a world where unexpected occurrences happen every day, Orion distress
signals help provide a beacon of light. Mars International and Orion have
partnered to create the Electronic Beacon, a high-powered SOS distress
signal that works during the day and at night.
Orion marine safety flares and Orion emergency flares are industry leaders
in the marine safety products industry, including hand held flares.
Benefits that make a difference
Our beacon flashes two times longer than the US Coast Guard continuous
run-time requirement and at an intensity two and a half times higher. It
also features SOLAS grade reflective tape and an orange distress flag for
extra visibility. The electronic beacon continues the tradition of safety
of Orion safety flares, with an easy, intuitive waterproof on-off switch,
sealed battery compartment with a double O-ring closure, and packaging in
a reusable storage container. Additional features of the Orion Flares
marine beacon include visibility for three miles based on line of sight
measurement, with the light source extending over 4” above the waterline
to increase visibility.

When dropped overboard, it self-rights and floats. Molded plastic grips
aid hand-holding, even when wet, and the included lanyard provides hanging
capability. Constructed with a high impact, high visibility orange ABS
plastic construction, the low battery indicator function provides insight
into how much light remains. Burn time for the beacon is over 50 hours of
continuous operation, with 75 Candela of brightness for illumination.
Reshaping the Industry
These new beacon models set a different standard for the industry.
“It’s been a pleasure partnering with Orion to create something useful and
of lasting value in this market,” says Art Garcia, Vice President of Sales
and Marketing for Mars International. “Orion flares are known for their
longevity, safety and durability. Our continued work in this area helps
further our goal of delivering top-quality, electrical and mechanical
assemblies and finished goods throughout the world.”
Jay McLaughlin, President of Orion Safety Products, stated, “We are proud
to provide a product that is easy to use, exceeds USCG performance
requirements, is consistently and frequently tested by USCG approved labs,
cost efficient, and most importantly, effective. When used with Orion
aerial signals, handheld flares are the perfect signaling choice to guide
rescuers to your exact position should you ever need assistance.”
Popular in the boating industry Orion Flares marine products are found all
over the country. Often sought for their stellar reputation in the marine
industry, beacons are a top seller in this category, especially as they
relate to watercraft. Although there are a number of types, consumers are
loyal to the Orion brand. This is a new venture in the marine industry for
Mars International. Their work in developing a new type of beacon that
holds true to the value and usefulness of this product makes a huge
difference.
