May not be the signal we wish to send out. > I just picked up a PFD light at a local EMS here in Central NJ. Called a C-Light, made by ACR Electronics in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. www.acrelectronics.com for the website.. Basically an orange waterproof 2-AA cell light which twists to turn on. The front lens has a penlight forward lens for the usual stuff, and it is surrounded by a donut lens which sends the light out in a 360 deg. circle. Comes with a pin type arrangement and a velcro strap to attach to the shoulder of your pfd. I tried it out on the back so I don't get the light in my eyes and had no difficulty turning it on or off. Ten bucks.
