Smoke 1 – Hand smoke signal

The hand smoke signal is the smallest version of the smoke signals. These hand-held smoke signals are intended for use on land and, of course, in the air. This version of the smoke signal burns for about 60 seconds. And primarily emits a bright color smoke. Various colors of smoke ensure that you are visible in any situation! The ignition of hand smoke signals is done through an easy-to-use string mechanism. Read more about igniting distress signals on our special explanation page: manuals and backgrounds.

CE certified hand smoke signal

The hand smoke signals from fakkels.com are CE approved. This means that they are of course certified according to the standards. They are made of a tube filled with a pyrotechnical seal. This seal contains metal powders. These ensure a burning time of approximately 60 seconds, which produces brightly coloured smoke. This is a big difference with the other variations. They have a burning time of 60 seconds, 120 seconds or 180 seconds. Metal powders also ensure that various colours of smoke can be made. These colours ensure that you are always recognisable in every situation! This variant of the smoke signals is available in the following colours:

• Red
• White
• Yellow
• Green
• Blue
• Orange
• Pink
• Purple
• Black
• Brown
• Light blue

During emergency situations in daylight, colours play an important role. An example is the red/orange colour that is the international standard for ‘help, I’m in danger‘. Various types of coloured smoke are used for all kinds of situations. Finally, we do not only supply to shipbuilders and shipyards. For example, also to the government, fire brigade, the Dutch army, mudflat walkers, scouting. In short, we supply to all kinds of other organisations. Safety above all.
