: I'm a slow learner I guess and have a total of FIVE lights for my kayak, none
: of which currently work. That represents way too much money and
: frustration. I only paddle fresh water. I like to run a red/green front
: light and a 360 degree white light. Does anyone have recommendations for a
: durable marine light? I've even considered hard wiring in regular marine
: lights and rigging a rechargable battery pack to run them. Anyone done
: this?
: To date I have 3 Seatle Sports, the orange one that rotates on it's base for
: a variety of lighting configurations such as flashing, red/green, constant
: on. A nice idea but the switch is complicated enough that perhaps
: dependability is precluded....mine certainly haven't held up well. I have
: a couple of Innovative Lighting units that are simpler in design, but even
: they have not lasted like they should. Am I jinxed? or have I just not yet
: found that one reliable light on the market?

I've got a friend that has lights like this set up on his boat, was out last night with him and finally convinced him to turn the darned things off. Why when it's nice and calm and moonlit do you need to polute it with running lights that are not required?

That said, if you "have" to pursue this I'll get his Email and you can two can communicate.
