Ive never been a big fan of carrying around a lot of pyrotechnics as things designed to explode/burn on a boat just make me nervous. A feeling underlined over the years by a too large number of incidents where flares became part of the problem rather than the solution.
Truth be told, flares scare me.
Then theres the ongoing need to replace your flares every couple of years... Yeah, I know flares have a three year lifespan but, try as I may, whenever I find myself needing to buy flares I only seem to be able to find flares with eighteen months or so validity.
Have I mentioned that flares are silly expensive?
So, in the "its about frelling time" department...
The good news is from here on this is the only night signal you need to carry and combined with a distress flag as your day signal (which comes with the Sirius flare) its all you need to be 100% street legal with the USCG and other powers that be.
But wait... It gets better!
The Sirius electric flare is not "dated" with an expiry date which means the only thing you need to replace is the c-cell batteries when needful. That said, if you lose or screw it up you can order a replacement and get it shipped to you by the US Mail or something similar.
Of course I saved the best for last... It only costs $99!
Doing the happy dance...

So it goes...
