ACR C-Light Emergency Signaling Light

Pocket Rescue Beacon

The ACR C-Light (P/N 3355) is a compact emergency signaling light that helps rescuers find you in the dark or in low light. ACR designed it to ride on a life jacket, and the included C-Clip adapter fits the inflation tube of an inflatable PFD (personal flotation device). It also works in a camping kit, on a bike, or in a vehicle glovebox. It runs on two AA batteries and weighs 1.3 oz (37 g).

Features

• Visible Up To 2 Miles — ACR rates the light as visible at up to 2 mi (3.2 km), so a searcher can spot you from a distance.
• Over 8 Hours Operating Life — A fresh set of batteries keeps it lit for more than eight hours, long enough to cover a night on the water.
• USCG 161.012/36/0 Approved — The US Coast Guard approval number is molded into the body, and it applies when the light runs on lithium AA batteries only.
• Waterproof, Corrosion-Resistant Case — The sealed orange polymer housing is made to handle immersion and salt spray.
• Twist-Cap Activation — Turn the ribbed head toward the printed ON arrow to switch it on, which is easy even with cold or gloved hands.
• Pin-Locked Battery Cap — A stainless wire release pin holds the cap shut, so it cannot twist open by accident and you pull the pin only when changing batteries.
• C-Clip Life Jacket Adapter — The white C-Clip snaps around the oral inflation tube of an inflatable life jacket, and the light slides into the clip.
• Lanyard And Strap Included — A black cord lanyard with an end fitting and a black strap give you other ways to secure the light to gear.
• Runs On 2 AA Batteries — Batteries are not included, and ACR advises replacing lithium cells every five years or alkaline cells every year.

Build And Battery Care

The body is high-visibility orange polymer with a clear faceted lens, and it carries CE marking along with the USCG approval. A slotted frame along the side lets the light sit in the C-Clip or under a strap. Use lithium AA cells if you need the Coast Guard approval to apply, since alkaline batteries fall outside it. Lithium cells also stretch the replacement interval to five years, which matters for a light that may sit on a vest untouched until the day you need it.
