PITTSBURGH, Nov. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- "I wanted to establish a new lighting system that is universally recognized as an urgent call for help," said an inventor, from Brampton, ON, Canada, "so I invented the S O S LIGHTING. My design offers an eye-catching way to signal for help, and it could help locate a lost or missing person in distress."

The patent-pending invention provides an improved visual distress signal. In doing so, it enables the user to signal for help and be seen from a distance. It also offers GPS location reporting capabilities, and it eliminates the need to rely upon cellular network communication. The invention features a lightweight and sturdy design that is easy to use so it is ideal for households, boat and vehicle owners, outdoor enthusiasts, camping grounds, camping/hiking groups/clubs, first responders and safety organizations, etc. Additionally, possible uses could include camping, especially if lost, in the presence of wild animals, in an areas with no phone service, during an emergency; hiking; sailing; mountain climbing; roadside emergency; etc. A prototype model and technical drawings are available upon request.
