Improve your chances of survival
– be seen and get rescued fast


Exposure’s 1300 lumen portable search light with Man Overboard Technology.

Losing someone overboard at night is everyone’s worst nightmare. It’s easy to think “it will never happen to me”.
Watch the video below to compare the difference between being in the water with an MOB searchlight and being in the water without a light.
The truth is it happens more often than you think. Being found fast could be the difference between life and death. Exposure’s Man Overboard (MOB) strobe and searchlight is designed to do just that – make the difference between life and death.

As soon as the buoyant, pocket-sized MOB hits the water, its 1300 lumens strobe starts flashing automatically. What’s more, it will keep flashing for up to 40 hours. 1300 lumens means it’s highly visible from the air and can be seen from more than five miles away.

One night, it might just make the difference.

What the press have to say...

Yachting Monthly, March 2015 – As a torch it’s probably the lightest and most powerful on the market

Yacht and Yachting, April 2015 – its powerful beam will last for up to 20 hours, exceeding the SOLAS requirement of five hours…it’s a multi-use product – with search light, spotlight and inspection modes – that has been a big hit with the current Volvo Ocean Race teams.

Yachting World, Februray 2015 – Exposure’s MOB Search Light is an ingenious, compact, water and motion-activated searchlight that perfectly demonstrates the UK company’s practicle and precision made products.



Alex Thomson, skipper of HUGO BOSS
- “The power of the MOB light is unbelievable. It is so powerful we call it the ‘Sun’ onboard Hugo Boss as at night we can see the top of our 30m mast like it is daylight - that’s equivalent to a 10 story building! It is incredibly lightweight and for a marine application having a sealed unit is a real plus. We found the indicator light useful for finding the torch when in one of the many cockpit pockets too! Being on top of your sail trim at night just got a whole lot easier!”

Ned Collier, founding member of Team Concise - For a personal safety tool this is a game changer - as well as being a great torch just knowing you have a light that will automatically switch on if you are in trouble in the water takes some of the stress away for our sailors at night.

Ian Walker, Skipper of Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing in the Volvo Ocean Race - "The MOB is an amazing all in one torch and safety light. Luckily, we haven’t had to use its MOB capability - and I hope we don’t! However, especially at the speeds we are sailing, it’s very reassuring knowing we have these MOBs ready to deploy at any time. And the crew love it as a trimming spot light too.”
