The lights on the outside of the canopy on an inflatable life raft will operate automatically when the raft is inflated.

Automatic safety features on an inflatable life raft are designed to activate as soon as the raft is deployed. The lights on the outside of the canopy are wired to turn on when the raft inflates, ensuring immediate visibility in dim or night conditions. This helps rescuers locate the raft quickly without relying on someone to switch on the lights. Other items like whistles, oars, and lifelines serve important functions—signaling, propulsion, and securing people to the raft—but they do not activate automatically with inflation.
