Your cart is empty.The UST See-Me 2.0 LED Strobe automatically activates when it comes in contact with water and strobes 60 times per minute providing 45 lumens of light for 120 continuous hours providing maximum visibility in all directions. Ideal for boating, kayaking and canoeing. The See-Me 2.0 Strobe flashes 60 times/minute and is visible up to 3.1 miles on a dark, clear night (exceeding USCG requirements of 1 nautical mile visibility). It won’t automatically activate with rain, sea spray or high humidity.

Meet my kayak's guardian angel, the UST See-Me 2.0! It's like having a disco party underwater, but with a twist of safety. This strobe light is my aquatic wingman, ready to dance into action if I ever decide to test the waters, literally. Thankfully, no capsize dramas yet, but knowing this little beacon is on standby gives me confidence. It's the James Bond of kayak gadgets – subtle, effective, and always ready for a splashy entrance. Cheers to smooth paddling and a disco-ready rescue plan!

Order this for my wife. She is on the small size and it fits perfectly. My only suggestion would be to add a pocket to the outside for a signaling device.

I really like this. It has two different modes to turn it on. You can turn it on manually or put it in auto. In the auto mode, it will automatically come on when it gets in the water. The strobe is extremely bright and can be seen from long distance away. The only thing I don’t like about it is the little mounting bracket. It’s designed to be attached to the tubing of an inflatable PFD. The attachment to the light itself is really flimsy and doesn’t really stay attached.

I purchased a number of these strobes, both to put on life jackets (water activation) and to serve as navigational beacons while boating at night (manual activation). I have always found that the water activation works well, and the flash is very easy to see from a 180 degree field of view (note that if the strobe is angled away from you it is much harder to see), but over time I started to encounter other issues with these strobes.About 15% of mine at some point have had small amounts of water infiltrate the transparent dome with the LED, even without any real submersion. This never seemed to affect their functioning and I was able to remove the water by drying them in rice, but it gives me pause about using them as critical lifesaving gear.I was hoping to use some of these strobes with NiMH rechargeable AAs, which work well in ACR strobes, but these UST strobes don't seem like the slightly lower voltage and stop flashing after a disappointing amount of time. I think I got maybe 24 hours on rechargeable batteries before the strobes stopped flashing and went to a very dim, steady-on light (better than nothing I suppose). So I recommend sticking to alkaline or lithium primary batteries.These strobes have a metal wire that encircles the batteries, and on that wire is a metal spring. I found that this spring over time damaged the plastic outer wrapper of some of my rechargeable batteries, especially the higher capacity ones that are ever so slightly wider than normal AAs. If you need to change batteries out in the field, be careful you don't drop the wire because it falls out very easily, an annoying design flaw.Most critically, I had one strobe short out, become very hot, and suffer complete physical and electrical failure after I turned it off. As you can see in the picture, the metal wire piece was completely blackened, the batteries were obviously toast, and the bottom of the plastic body broke completely (I guess from the plastic getting hot and maybe pressure from the batteries inside?). I burned my fingers pretty badly when I tried to dislodge the batteries, which had gotten stuck because of the aforementioned metal spring and thermal expansion. The reason for all this seemed to be in the head of the strobe unit--repeated manual activations and battery changes over time caused the metal wire piece to wear through some plastic on the interior of the head, exposing it to a wire lead that thus shorted the batteries. Because I used these as navigational markers, I recognize that I probably manually activated these strobes and changed their batteries much more than a typical user (both actions wore down the plastic head), but it seems like a problem that could've been avoided entirely with better design choices.So all told, I rate these 3 stars. If you stick to lithium batteries and test the strobes occasionally, they should work just fine as locator beacons on PFDs. But for safety equipment I would like to be more confident in the waterproofness and reliability of the unit. Small design improvements would improve the usability of the strobe and would have prevented the total failure and subsequent burns I experienced with one of my strobes. If you don't need the water activation and want to use rechargeable batteries, I recommend the ACR brand strobes.

Perfect. It does not include batteries but does include an attachment for the filler tube in the PDF and a Velcro strap if attaching to the outside of the PDF.

I love this little strobe. It's very low profile and easily fits under the cover of every inflatable PFD I've installed one. I work for a large fire department with many miles of waterfront and we have one on every one of our PFD's. I've tested the automatic operation several times on a few and it has worked every time without failure. And this little LED strobe is very bright. Our policy is to change batteries annually regardless as part of or PFD care and maintenance.

Fast delivery. Great product. Works great. You can put it under the tap and it won't come on. Submerge it in water and it flashes.
