No. In order to signal at a distance with a laser pointer, you would have to accurately hit your target in the eye in order for them to see you. Our products draw a line which fans out the further it goes. At 16 miles, you have a 6000 ft. long fan of light with which to hit your target. Please see How Rescue Laser Flares Work Yes. Our lasers are classified by the The United States Food and Drug Administration as a Class IIIA Laser Product. Just like any other light, however, it isn't advisable to point it directly in the eye at short range for an extended period of time. 6. Won't they stun the pilot/captain whose attention I'm trying to get? No. When the fan of light crosses your target's vision it will appear as a brilliant flash in the distance and will in no way impair their night vision. 7. When I shine my Rescue Laser in the distance, I can't see anything. Why? Lasers are directional lights. Unless the fan of light produced by Rescue Laser Flares crosses your line of vision or you pass over a retoreflective material, you will not see the light when aiming at a distance. Please see How Rescue Laser Flares Work 8. I'm holding my Rescue Laser Flare in the air and my friend can't see me. Why? If you were to just hold the laser without aiming while slowly moving it back and forth you will probably not be visible to your target. Because lasers are directional lights, the fan of light must cross their line of vision. This is accomplished by first aiming at your target and then moving the laser slowly back and forth. Every time the fan of light crosses their vision they will see a brilliant red flash. Please see How Rescue Laser Flares Work 9. Does it matter which way the laser line is pointed? If so how will I be able to tell. Yes, it does matter. The 6000 ft. high fan of light produced at 16 miles gives to the greatest signaling area. The laser line should be pointed vertically at your target. In order to tell which way the line is directed, point the laser a few feet in front of you on the ground.
