Sorry, I hadn´t read the discussion. Lot´s to do...

What you are looking for is the day-night-signal from Pains Wessex (british - but also in Australia). Have a look at www.pwss.com products-pyrotechnics-flares&signals. I got a Dummy at home. It is extrem compact, absolute waterproof (up to 30ft) and you could use each side on its own. Smoke for about 15s (?) and a red fire light for about 10-12s (??). But it is horrific expensive, costs here over 50 USD (normal price), within my collecting order about 40 USD !

The british RNLI guys got 2 peaces at their life jackets/pfd, I was told. 
Okay, the normal flares are bigger and better, but the day-night-signal is the most compact (with both sides usable) one, you can get - as I know.

Next year, I will order me one and place it in a separate bag at my life jacket.

Hope this helps - and all the best
Jochen Grikschat
