Safety lights
 

Trying to be ready for the warmer days. I was wondering if you guys kayak at night, and if so, what do you use as safety lights on your boats. I've seen some nice flag poles with light on top, but they are around $90.

Thanks

I use to put a bright electric lantern inside my yak. Depending on the color and density, it would light it up like a giant light stick.

The VisiCarbon is the best on the market. They may be 90.00 but they are 100% US built (not one part comes from China). Plus the manufacture is a kayak fishermen that followed his passion and created the awesome company now known as YakAttack. Nicest guys in the industry and support more events than anybody else. You cant go wrong, last light youll ever need. 100 hours of burn time on 3 AA batteries and super bright.

If 90.00 is too much also there is the non-folding version with the same light, the VisiPole. These guys start at 50.00 and feature the same light just doesnt fold and doesnt include flag.

On this subject, we have done a few large Group Buys on these products before. Is there any interest in trying to do another? In the past discounts have been as high as 20%. We just need enough people to make it happen.

I'm in on a group buy.

+1 if referring to the better one

After this week i will work on putting something together then. Generally between here at a few forums on the gulf that I am active on we can do a pretty good price break.

Will work on it after Fred hall LBC!

Appreciate that

Yakattack!!!

Yeah it's pricey but it's the best light out there, from an awesome company. They take care of their customers time and again. You won't be disappointed.

I'm in on group buy as well. My dad might want to do it too

Whatever you do don't over think it, its not supposed to be rocket science. Also, when or if you do buy or build something make sure its waterproof and don't be afraid to spend a little extra money. A decent headlamp or a decent light pole may cost you a little more but sometimes that's the difference between your lamp working when you're ready to launch or you're lamp being completed corroded because the inside got wet.

Ditto on the group buy, I'm in.

Thank you everyone for your input. I'm in on the group buy as well.
For the solar light suggestion, I had some in my backyard before my dog chewed every single one of them. They are too weak to be used on a kayak IMO.

ACR ELECTRONICS C-Light Personal Light, $12 at West Marine. You can attach it to a piece of PVC or bamboo, or a busted pole or whatever.

Good find pbb

This light is not as visible at night, compared to the yakattack. The whole point is to be visible and in my opinion this one does not cut it. If you are around other light sources...like somewhere inside the harbor...the surrounding light drowns out the light from this unit. The yakattack version is super bright even in those conditions.

I'm in for group buy :D

Anyone installed similar 12v LED rope on a yak?
