Sam Maness started Lifesaving Systems because some of the equipment the Navy and Coast Guard needed for rescue at sea did not exist and he set out to make it for them.  He said, “The guys out there doing that work deserve best possible gear for the job. And if we don’t make it for them, they should get it from somewhere. It’s what they deserve.” That is the belief has been at the heart of everything he has made for the rescuers of the world for forty years; make it the best gear for the job or don’t make it. Now, Sam has made something new that every professional mariner can appreciate; the best floating marker light in the world.Â
Keep reading to find out why it is the last floating electric marker light you will ever need for your ship, and see what else LSC can make for you.
Lifesaving Systems makes severely tough rescue and survival gear for professionals who work in the maritime environments of the world.Â
Sam noticed that most floating marker lights for ships were either cheaply made or they used older technology and were plagued with battery problems. Mounting brackets would break or some small part would and there was no way to repair the otherwise good light. So when he made the FML-7, he made it over twice as bright as the USCG/SOLAS Standard, it flashes at least 25 times longer than the standard, and it is fully repairable in the field. Made from a rugged UV resistant ASA/Polycarbonate blend with a tough-as-nails Glass-filled nylon bracket and using standard off-the-shelf D-Cell batteries, these lights will be there and be ready when you need them.  USCG / SOLAS / MED ApprovedÂ

Standard strobes are only visible for about 3 miles depending on weather conditions. The open 360-degree lens diffuses the light too much to reach much further. If in the water, you might see the mast lights of your ship, but they might not see you. Our new #640-LRS solves that problem. With its long-range function the SIRIUS LRS throws a 7-degree beam that can reach out to the horizon. If you can see them, they can see you. It is a safer – better strobe light for everyone at sea. USCG/SOLAS Approved
