It uses a cool white LED to produce a minimum of 26.8 candela per strobe flash at a rate of about 60 flashes per minute, giving a visible signal from over 3.2 miles away. Power comes from two standard AA batteries (not included), and on a fresh set the strobe runs for a minimum of 56 hours, giving rescuers a long window to spot the signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe case is built to military-spec durability standards and is factory tested waterproof to 33 feet (10 meters), so it keeps working even if fully submerged. It is compact and lightweight enough to fit inside an inflatable life jacket or a pocket. Two lashing loops on the housing, plus an included Velcro strap, give multiple mounting options, letting it be secured to a life jacket, belt, or pack so it stays within reach when an emergency happens. Activation is by a simple manual On\/Off switch. The Firefly PRO SOLAS is SOLAS Approved and USCG Approved, meeting recognized standards for marine distress signaling equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e ACR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3970-3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e SOLAS Approved, USCG Approved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLamp:\u003c\/strong\u003e LED, cool white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrobe Intensity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26.8 Candela minimum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrobe Visibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Over 3.2 miles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrobe Flash Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 flashes per minute +\/-\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrobe Operation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56 hours minimum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaterproof Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tested to 33 feet (10 meters)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActivation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manual On\/Off switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 AA batteries (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.4 inches x 2.2 inches x 1.2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 791659003404\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the ACR Firefly PRO SOLAS Emergency Strobe Light (3970-3) used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The ACR Firefly PRO SOLAS Emergency Strobe Light, part number 3970-3, is a personal distress strobe designed to mark your location in low-light or nighttime emergencies at sea, attaching to a life jacket, belt, or pack via its lashing loops and Velcro strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow bright is the Firefly PRO SOLAS strobe light?\u003c\/strong\u003e It produces a minimum of 26.8 candela per strobe flash, visible from over 3.2 miles away, using a cool white LED light source.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the battery last on the 3970-3 strobe light?\u003c\/strong\u003e Running on two AA alkaline batteries (sold separately), the Firefly PRO SOLAS operates continuously for a minimum of 56 hours at a flash rate of about 60 flashes per minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the ACR Firefly PRO SOLAS waterproof?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 3970-3 strobe light is factory tested waterproof to 33 feet (10 meters), making it reliable for submersion during an at-sea emergency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Firefly PRO SOLAS strobe light turn on automatically in water?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 3970-3 model uses a manual On\/Off switch only;
