## Overview

Coghlan's Signal Mirror is a compact, ¼” laminated glass survival tool featuring a polished rustproof lanyard hole and a reflectorized sighting hole for precise sunlight signaling visible up to 20 miles. Designed with authentic Vector 1 Japanese optics and printed instructions, it’s the ultimate emergency signaling mirror trusted by outdoor professionals and adventurers alike.

## Description

Heliography is the use of the sun’s light to transmit messages dating back to ancient Greek & Roman times. This mirror is made of ¼” laminated glass, and instructions are printed on the back. The sighting hole features a special reflectorized screen that directs a beam of sunlight onto the target. Reflect sunlight from mirror onto a nearby surface (raft, hand etc.) Slowly bring mirror up to eye level and look through sighting hole. You will see a bright spot: this is the aim indicator. Hold mirror close to the eye and slowly turn and manipulate it so that the bright light spot is on the target. Even if no potential rescuers are in sight, continue sweeping the horizon or other possible rescuer locations, as mirror flashes can be seen for distances up to 20 miles.

Review: Signal mirror - Came well packaged. Real nice signal mirror made of laminated glass.
Review: Do it for safety’s sake! - I bought this mirror to add to my scuba dive kit for emergency use. I had read a lot of stories about serious currents around Indonesia so this was part of beefing up my dive safety gear prior to a trip last year to Komodo. I spent a couple minutes practicing getting comfortable signaling with it on land. It works remarkably well and will create a flash that should be seen for considerable distance, likely miles, given decent conditions and a clear line of site. Hopefully I will never need to use it for a rescue situation, but it’s securely strapped to my backplate webbing in case I do.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Signal mirror
*by B***O on January 5, 2026*

Came well packaged. Real nice signal mirror made of laminated glass.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real glass and well made
*by O***N on June 27, 2013*

Polishing up a metal box or using a plastic mirror for signaling isn't as effective as a real glass mirror. This is a convenient size, weight and a sturdy alternative to other mirrors. Great price too. March 2014. Back from a tour overseas, this was in my E&E pack the whole time so it got bumped and knocked around quite a bit. It is holding up very well - NO damage! I keep it wrapped in a folded bandanna which I keep next to my abdomen in a fanny pack. I think I will pick up the small pouch for this (it is available on Amazon). I am worried that if I go to unwrap this from the bandanna I might drop it. With the pouch and maybe some cotton for padding the mirror should be safe if I drop it. I am thinking I will continue to use the bandanna to pad the pouch and mirror when it is in the fanny pack. The vendor, Helenbac, seems to have done his homework in selecting this device; I am very pleased (I bought 3, one for each of my packs: E&E, Main Pack and Assault Pack.
