Okay, so it's my own fault for not paying close enough attention the first time around on this issue (or the second . . .) I have just received a Princeton Tec Aurora LED headlamp to test. It's quite a nice little light, and one of it's features is that you can set it to 2 different strobe modes. Slow flashes about every 2 seconds and fast is about twice a second. What are the inland rules again for how fast is has to flash for it to be a distress signal? I seem to remember that it was at least once a second. If that's the case the slower mode might be useful for signaling other boats to your presence. Even if it is slower than what is legally a distress signal, would it be wise to not use it anyway?
