New regulations* in Western Australia require paddlers to carry a flare when 400 metres off shore, (and a PLB). That’s actually not that far. Penguin island is further from the shore than this. paddling from one point across a bay to another typically is further from the beach. This electronic torch fulfils the requirements for the flare. What’s more it doesn’t need replacing every few years (new batteries every 10 years  that you can fit yourself), and is safer to use and store than chemical flares.
