Safety lights

[gcsasher]

I would have to say the ACR lights as about as bright as a birthday candle, Yes you can get by with it and attach it to just about anything but as for being visible to other boaters off La Jolla or even in the bay with all the city lights in the background good luck. I got this light a few years back and thought it was great because it didn't mess with your night vision, but after last season I went out and upgraded to the Visicarbon Pro by YakAttack and would recommend it to anyone going out after dark. You shouldn't be sitting out in the dark thinking is that boat going to turn soon or do I need to start paddling / peddling my ars off to get out of the way, this is what happened to me last season when a boat came so close without slowing down, I was flipped over off La Jolla at night and the boat just kept going, I was pissed but after thinking about it for awhile and getting the verbal ars kicking from the wife I realized I was as much to blame as anyone. Life is to short be safe out there and make sure your light can be seen when needed.
