Abstract
An improved personal rescue light attachable to a life vest or raft for use by an individual floating in a large body of water (salt or fresh) having increased visible range especially with fresh water usage. The device includes a water-activated battery and improved battery housing that increases the battery efficiency to produce more power for an incandescent lamp that provides a single source of light through a lens providing for a very narrow, intense beam of light, greatly increasing the overall candle power of the projected light beam.
